The Humours of Kiltyclogher

This is one of my favorite jigs. I loved the melancholic feeling of the tune played slowly, but recently I found it also sounds nice when played cheerfully, just in Danu's recording.

I usually move on to Eddie Kelly's and finish the set with Ingonish. John Williams plays Mrs. O'Sullivan's after this tune in "Steam."

Slide?

This feels more like a slide than a jig to me.

What does everyone else think: slide or jig?

# Posted on October 15th 2002 by Jeremy

Perhaps a single jig rather than a slide. I've certainly heard it played more in jig style - and in sets together with other jigs. It's one of my favourites. It sounds great on the pipes, with a D cran replacing the DED in bar 3 of the A-part - and crans fitted in in other places, as only a piper best knows how. It's one of those tunes that has its own climate - it's full of 'weather'. Listen to that autumn in the B-part - smell the rotting leaves.

JIg or slide?

We play it as a jig, with Julia Clifford's to follow, but it does have a bit of a slidey feel to it. We open our set with it and everyone seems to like it..it's a cracking tune, jig or slide, and David is right about the crans...our piper gets just enough in to be on the right side of tasteful.

Kilclogher is in Co.Clare and
Kiltyclogher is in Co.Leitrim. So I think the tune is probably correctly named after one of these places - hardly both.

According to the sleeve notes of Danu's first recording, they learned it off Clare-based band Fisherstreet. Chicago man John Williams plays lots of Clare tunes, so it should probably be Kilclogher.

Slainte you mean Danu's second alubm "Think before you think?"

BTW, Williams plays it in Cmix.

I heard that's *officially* their first album, but maybe I'm wrong. Who cares?

# Posted on May 16th 2006 by slainte

They sell it at their concerts, so that may indicate something. Who cares any way, there should be no confusion over which album it is on.

Who cares if I'm right or wrong?
