Favourite tunes in the whole wide world?

If you had to pick 2 tunes??

Mines “Ivy leaf” and “Rip the calico” in Paddy Keenan styleee!

2 , Ya can only pick 2!

Tam Lin hands down has #1. I’d say #2 would be Julia Delaney.

I just want to learn how to play these tunes.

O’Connell’s Lamentation

And #1

My list of most hated tunes is the same.

Banish Misfortune and Christmas Eve, I think.

The Little Stack of Wheat is a beautiful tune. As is Carolan’s Welcome. C’mon. Only two’s not fair!

1 Scottish tunes.
2 Irish tunes.

If we really mean the whole world (instead of just ITM), but still, you know, tunes, I’m going to say “Kiss the Maid Behind the Barrel” and “Payne’s Choice”.

The Kesh AKA Kerrigan’s Jig, and Bella Ciao. Now, I’m a Cape Codder whose forefathers were mariners; maybe it should be, We’ll Rant & We’ll Roar. Oh well, you decide.

I can’t bear it. I’ve posted once but I’m posting again to nominate my “reserves.” I don’t care if the thread gets locked as a result. “Over the Moor to Maggie” and “The Wind that Shakes the Barley.” :smiling_imp:

Old Hag, You’ve killed Me takes top honors easily. After that it’s tough. Maybe Idir Deighric Agus Breo. But probably not. Probably Sligo Maid at the moment.

The Red Haired Girl and Ferny Hill

Colonel Frasier and M and M (Brian Rooney tune - yummy)

Sean sa Cheo (sp)?
Scotch Mary with the C#s

(this week, anyway :slight_smile:)

But the Ivy Leaf is right up there. And the Jolly Tinker. And Trim the Velvet. And … oops.

Gan Ainm and Gan Ainm.

O’Sullivan’s March
I’ll Tell Me Ma

Brak & Paddy, as it ever should be.

The Fort of the Jewels
The Parting Glass

Tends to be a moveable feast, depending on the weather or the mood that herself is in, but of late I am totally enamoured with the Sailors Bonnet and the Lark in the Morning.

Slan,
D. :wink:

Good ones, Dub.

I’ve been playing the “The College Groves” (Now that’s a tune you can sink your teeth into) a lot and also “The Black Rogue” but there’s many others that rate very highly for me.

Are we sure that when Dub cites “The Lark in the Morning” we’re actually talking about a tune there? :smiley:
