Just wondering what everyone's favorite airs are. I'm rather fond of Roisin Dubh. What about everyone else?

"Limericks Lamentation" is my all time favourite air.

Slan,

Not sure if you call it a air, but my fav slow song of the such is
the parting glass

Gan Ainm.

Really, it's hard to choose. May Morning Dew, Ag Taisteal na Blarnan, Banks of the Moy, My Love is a Band Boy (put a sock in it :roll: ), are some of my faves.

I love slow airs. My favorite is Dance of the Gyspy Queen on Eoin Duignan's first CD. Other than that I love (although the spelling is difficult for the Gaelic ones):

Anach Chuin
Amhran na Leabhair
Taimse im Chodladh
Ar Thaobh na Carraige (from Dossan of Heather)
Caitlin Triall
Port na bPucai

(from Bothy Band's "Old hag you have kille d me CD)
Tiochfaidh an Samhradh
Maid of Coolmore

and from Clannad 2:
Coinleach Ghlas An Fhomair
Chuaigh Me Na Rosann

I guess it's an air or waltz or something but I like Si Bheag Si Mohr and also The South Wind

Ooh! That's good one. I think it's pronounced something like shleeuhv gyuhl gua.

I've posted most of mine on Clips. (Hint: there's still space available for more!)

Song of the Kelpie

This one' really nice:

Turas go Tír na nÓg

I have no idea how its pronounced, but I understand from those-what-knows, that it translates as "Journey to the Land of Youth"

You can check out a fine rendition at Mick Woodruff's site.

It's also quite easy to play. (you can get the dots from Mick, too)

Carrickfergus / The Water is Wide (would somebody please tell me how these two tunes are related)

The Ash Tree (Welsh)
