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

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