I named this jig after the river Dodder, which is the largest tributary of the Liffey. It rises near Kippure in the Wicklow mountains and flows through several Dublin suburbs before rejoining the Liffey near Ringsend. My favourite route to the Friday daytime sessions in O’Donohue’s and the Cobblestone was to walk from Clonskeagh along the nearby banks of the Dodder to reach the Milltown Luas stop.
