The tunes given here and at JC's tune finder for "Do you want anymore" and the version that is recorded on the Kany Sisters (in D minor) on the CD "The Well Tempered Bow" don't match.
The version they play is the last preview link here:
I would like the name of the tune that the Kane sisters play so that I can find dots for that tune. Surely there must be dots, it is a well known tune.
As for your welcome, maybe you haven't heard me play -- this should set you straight:
Hi,
Jus noticed this discussion!
well Liz Kane was my tutor up until The Summer gone by and i did notice that myself! A lot of Tunes are filed under names but they dont match the versions we hear out in sessions! My best advice would be to download a programme called the Amazing Slow Downer this enables you to play any music and slow it down to any speed without losing tone or pitch! You can download a free trial version of this on their site. It only does the 1st two tracks but a sneaky trick is to put the tunes you want onto a copied disk and play them on that!
Hope this helps!
Sounds like the jig version of The Broken Pledge to me.
(Eliot... when Georgi said, "Welcome to traditional music!" I don't think he was insinuating you were a novice but rather just acknowledging that the discrepancy in versions for tunes is a hallmark of ITM.)
I have and frequently use the "amazing fast upper", it works just as well for me as its bizarro counter-part (to use it, I play a tune slowly, then put it at 140 and everyone thinks I'm really hot).
Thanks Ben, I should have listened to it first... and I'm just after sending an email to Georgi explaining that Eliot is usually good humored and such.
That's Dave Lewicki on Flute and me on Fiddle -- we swapped instruments one lazy afternoon long ago. I hope you made it to the end, there's a surprise.
Now Dave's bought a nice flute and he can actually play a bit -- that going to really ruin our craic next time we record.
It's not a jiggified broken pledge. It's a jiggified "Collier's Reel" (and I think that's how they describe it). I couldn't listen to the preview, but I have the album right here...
I used to play TT in a university club -- the best playler there (by a long way) was this petite maid in her mid 20's who had played for the Israel junior olympic team in her teens. OMG.
Not rated (never really competed), but at my best I used to beat most of the 1200 rated players in the club, and lose to the 1400 rated players... Whatever that means.
The danger of just having read the "weirdest instruments at a session" thread is that I thought Eliot's clip was fiddle and nose flute!
power of suggestion. Listen again...
Georgi, it sounds like we would have had a good match at TT, and you would have beaten me, but not by too much. I was in the 1200-1300 range (or so says the elite of the club -- I never played in a tournament either). I last played in about 1995. Ah, so long ago... The club was packed with 1700+ level players! It was very humbling to pound my fiercest slam and have my opponent casually return it as if "it's no big deal," spinning it off some remote corner of the table.
Tune from Kane sisters...

Yep. They're different. Welcome to traditional music!
(honestly, what sort of help were you looking for?)

Maybe you can ask Liz about the name

Re: Tune from Kane sisters...
I think it may be a jiggafied Broken Pledge, many thanks.

PB - did you listen to Eliot's clip? I think you may have missed out on Eliot's humour there ...

FYI --
That's Dave Lewicki on Flute and me on Fiddle -- we swapped instruments one lazy afternoon long ago. I hope you made it to the end, there's a surprise.
Now Dave's bought a nice flute and he can actually play a bit -- that going to really ruin our craic next time we record.

It's not a jiggified broken pledge. It's a jiggified "Collier's Reel" (and I think that's how they describe it). I couldn't listen to the preview, but I have the album right here...
... And come to look at it, it matches the version on this site as well as anything would: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1051
Ahhh ... But the SECOND tune in the set is a jiggified Broken Pledge. There Ya Go.

Georgi, you're good! Nice style! Are you rated?

The Collier's Jig can also be found on the Claire Keville, John Weir & Eithne Ni Dhonaile album 'An Tri is a Rian', track 6.
