I wrote this jig while attending a tune composition workshop held in the Carrickmacross Workhouse as part of the local Arts Festival in 2017.  Originally I called it Accidentals in the Workhouse as it was the first time I'd ever written a tune with accidentals in it, something I wouldn’t have attempted prior to the workshop. Also one of the bands playing at the festival that year was Accidents in the Workplace, a Funk/Rock/Blues band, so Accidentals in the Workhouse seemed an appropriate title at the time. I've since shortened it to the Workhouse Jig.
