"Humors of Derryloughan/Old Tipperary" - any other

On the new Niall and Cillian Vallely CD ‘Callan Bridge’ track 12 is listed by this title, and while the second tune in the set I can find on JC’s under ‘Old Tipperary’, I KNOW I’ve heard the first tune played before too - very popular with u. pipers I think as there is a lot of cranning involved. But I can’t seem to find a midi of the tune on JC’s.

Anyone happen to be familliar with this one, and know if it goes by any other names?? So far as I can tell, it’s a four part jig or double jig. I couldn’t even find it on Google.

Thanks!

It’s also called the Humours of Ballyloughlin. Planxty recorded it under that name, as did Matt Molloy.

More typically that tune is called the Humours of Ballyloughlin. You should be able to find it all over the place under that title.

What!? looks excitedly at the back of his Callan Bridge CD Interesting…I’ve started learning “The Humours of Ballyloughlin” for the last week or so from a book, obviously ignorant that it was called something else!

Cool, that gives me something to listen now, instead of my own tedious akward version :slight_smile:. Funny, it doesn’t sound much like what I imagined the full-speed version would sound like…oh well, gues I really need to hear what Molloy does w/the tune as well.

There’s a very fun version of it on my whistle teacher’s CD. Howard Levy starts it off with a bluesy harmonica; my teacher, James Conway, is playing the whistle.
