Tune Check

Hey all I recorded a few tunes at a session. Anyone know the names so I can find some dots?

It would be great if you would use the box.net site to load your music.
The site you’re using opened 4 unwanted windows and then requires a new player download to access your recording.

On box.net just create your account and upload your music as an MP3 (not an aiff file - which won’t play, but can be downloaded) and it will give you the direct link to post here.

Thanks for the site. Much Better. Here ya go

First - The Maiden that jigged in style
Second - what sounds like Jackson’s Maid (not sure what others call it) but it’s in O’Neill’s (I think)
Third - Paddy Whack or Patrick Hutchinson’s

Also, if you can, try to post your clips as mp3’s - that way they don’t have to be downloaded, but can just be played on the box.net server.
If you don’t have a program to convert your aiff files to mp3, download Audacity for free, import the aiff file and then export it to your desktop as an mp3.

Good fiddler on your clip - very Kevin Burke-ish

Yes, nice playing indeed. Who is the fiddler? And kill the guitarist. :wink:

I found the 2nd tune as “The Girl from the Big House”, pretty much the exact same setting:

The Norbeck setting is slightly different.

The 1st and 3rd tunes and settings seem to have in common Pat Mitchell’s 1976 recording “Uilleann Pipes” (Topic 12TS294), with the 3rd tune as Mairseail Alasdruim.

I don’t want to put his name out there without his permission, but yeah, its nice to have him at the session :slight_smile:

Not “Patrick Hutchinson’s.” His tunes are mostly crap.
Just shows you that you shouldn’t trust TheSessionDotOrg. Armand Aromin learned the tune from PH, and didn’t know the title.
4 years later people are still circulating the wrong title!
It’s Willie Clancy’s setting of Allistrum’s March. It’s in the book; and yes, it’s on Pat Mitchell’s recording.

That’s a nice bit of esoterica.
Thanks
