What’s your favourite tune on the pipes? It must be part of your repertoire - YOU have to be able to play it.
Mine’s Dunphy’s hornpipe. It’s a great tune when played tight with simple ornamentation.
Alexander’s hornpipe
That’s funny. I usually play Alexander’s immediately after Dunphy’s.
It’s funny, my latest fav is Moll Rua. Not really a tough one but it’s just really fun to play! I think my favorite jig (at least now) though is the Friar’s Breeches.
The Dublin Reel - always has been since I first heard Planxty. Can’t play it for beans, but I still enjoy hearing others play it well.

It’s always changing but lately it’s been the Humours of Ballyloughlin.
Covering ground
Raithling Island
Definitely in my top 3. The most frequently played tune for me lately has been probably Jenny’s Welcome Home to Charlie. Some much ghost d, gotta love it.
Bocannaí Uaráin Mhóir.
Favorite slow air at the moment is An Bonnan Bui as played by Brian McNamara on A Piper’s Dream.
Been working on The Morning Thrush, definitely one of the greatest tunes in my book.
My repertoire on pipes is still quite limited so favourites tend to be the tune I’m currently working on. Right now I love to play “An Phis Fhliuch” even though I’m far from doing it justice. The 3:rd and 4:th parts have a very nice feel to them and the tune sounds great on pipes. Otherwise I have always thought slip jigs to be tricky when it comes to get the rhythm to come through right.

Sometimes, I like to play others tunes better, but I would say my all-time favourite is The Black Rogue.
The Gold Ring.
There’s just so much to do in there.
I first heard it played by Liam O’Flynn on his solo piping CD.
Mukade
Skippy the Bush Kangaroo
wi variations and regulator ornamentation

Uilliam
Sounds like a “bouncy” tune there Uilliam… 
Any relationship to Planxty’s “Good Ship Kangaroo”?
As a rank beginner I’m up to a whopping six tunes I’m sort of solid on now (the simpler versions of course), but I’d have to say for me it’s Boil the Breakfast Early, with Lambert’s Jig a close second.
We got Dunphy’s from Mike Rafferty in a flute class. It’s a swell tune, though I think it’ll be a few years (like, 20) before that makes the transition for me. Those high B’s 
!
Moll Roo has already been mentioned…
I am jonesin’ on Tommy Peoples’ (reel) these days. One of those dramatic Bmin/D tunes that has all that pathos in the A part and all that happy resolution on the B part…only to be dumped back into the minor A part again so you don’t get too rosey a view of the world.
What makes this tune especially fun is the reg chords you can put with it (especially if your name is Tiernan O’Duinnchin). The trick is to be able to nail the B/F# cross on the tenor and bass (or bass and baritone if you have long, keel-like hands - which I don’t) reg. And then walk down with D/G, D/F# sustained chords. Super cool sounding.
I am also diggin’ a hornpipe I got off David Power but have no name for it. It’s on my MySpace page if anyone knows the name please chime in!

John Egan’s hornpipe.
Yes! What does Peter win, Johnny?
Peter you win a week of balmy weather!:party: 
John Egan’s hornpipe.
Is it the hornpipe or the reel of John Egan that Louise Mulcahy covers on the Mulcahy family CD ?
The hornpipe is one of my all time favorites
OK I can see this is a serious thread so my second favourite tuen is
My Lovely Horse
Ted and Dougal’s entry in the Eurovision Song Contest (series 2 episode 4).
"My Lovely Horse
Running through the.. field
Where are you going
With your fetlocks blowing
In the… wind
I want to shower you with sugar lumps
And ride you over…fences
I want to polish your hooves every single day
And bring you to the horse… dentist
My lovely horse
You’re a pony no… more
Running around
With a man on your back
Like a train in the night
Like a train in the… (hang on I can get this)… night!

ps I like to research ma tuens and lo.. I believe that the aboriginal word Kangaroo means “I don’t know”.So when the escaped convict went up to the native and said "How cute wot is it called ?"The native probably thought stupid feckin Pom and replied “Kangaroo” which of course is logical .None of us can speak Roo so how do we know whit names they call each other!!
