Dunguaire Castle (fling)

I learned this fling from Carmel Gunning's recent recording but transplanted some variations from Maeve Donnelly and Peadar O'Loughlin's duet playing. It seems often associated with Willie Clancy's: you'll in fact find another transcription of the tune as "Willie Clancy's" in Norbeck's collection.

A variant of this tune, by the same name, appears on The Pipering of Willie Clancy. The sleeve notes list it as a fling.

It might be more common to play this without any repeat in the first part. That's what M. Donnelly and P. O'Loughlin do.

Dunguaire Castle (aka. Willie Clancy's)

Another interpretation of the tune *mostly* based on Maeve Donnelly and Peadar O'Loughlin's duet playing:

R: fling
K: Gmaj

G2Bd ~g3d|e2dB dega|bgaf gfed|egdB A2G2||

I find this tune listed as "Kitty Got a Clinking Coming from the Fair" on a different recording, but it can be a mistake.

Ronan Browne, Martin Doyle, Seán McKiernan and John Hughes playing (and lilting) this tune, with Ronan on Ken McLeod's c.1780 James Kenna pipes:

? ~ Gan Ainm ~ ? - - - Highland Fling
I was so sure this was already here, and that it has a name, but neither was opening up to me, not by memory or by notes, and not searching for it on site here with various mutations of half a dozen bars in several keys, or through Rev's ABC TuneSearch. I wanted this orphan to have a home, even if it meant I'd added another duplication that needs to go "POOF!" and disappear into the digital ether. And that's what happened. Thanks to Nico using Rev's offering he found this link, so I'm putting the information here and will let Jeremy know about the duplication so it can go the way of such things. ;-)

I've also found one other take on it in some notes that I'm adding next:
