greetings interweb, could someone take a moment to identify this tune, its pretty well known, it goes:
de de le didle de de didley de de didely diddley diddley
also can someone recommend me two jigs in B minor, to follow McGoldricks (which sort of kind of ends on b minor) one well known and one 'less well known but difficult on flute and liable to impress your friends'
please identify this tune, and recomend another

A few jigs which begin in B-minor, if you care to hear them that way. Pulled from the Norbeck collection (with Norbeck numbers).
Banks of Lough Gowna (10)
Up in the Air (27)
Coleraine (36)
Gan Ainm (257)
Of course, you can also try transposing any Am or ADor tune to B. The latter especially if you're comfortable with G# on your instrument.

Re: please identify this tune, and recomend another
thanks for that, it was already in my tunebook tho i swear i don't know it.
as to the new tunes ive taken
Up in the Air (27)
Coleraine (36)
i can learn Coleraine twice as its not all that difficult. im going to get it hopelessly confused with rakes of kildare though.

Re: please identify this tune, and recomend another
You're welcome, Chris.
Coleraine is one of those warhorse tunes that some people seem to hate. But I'm convinced that it can be played well and interestingly, and not as "squarely" (2 bar phrases) as you often hear it. Putting life back into tunes that are considered overplayed can be very satisfying.

also i had never herd the Colraine before you mentioned it, one of those tunes which dosent see as much play in Ireland. Nice though, harmonic minor really gives it a bit of a French feel maby?

Save the files as MP3 then upload to Box and all will be fine. Previews galore!
