This tune and Da Full Rigged Ship are of Shetland orign. Da New Rigged Ship appears on one of Altan's albums (don't ask me which one) after the song Donal agus Morag. I don't know whether they got the tune from local (Donegal) players or whether they drew from other sources, but I suspect Altan's recording is largely responsible for bringing the tune into the wider Irish music circles.

Altan plays the tune with Donal agus Morag the last part first. We do a "Scottish set" with it of Castle Kelly speeding up into Da New Rigged Ship into Gravel Walk.

Aly Bain does a beautiful rendition of these two in a set on his CD "Fully Rigged" (with Ale Moller), which is full of gorgeous Shetland and Scandinavian tunes. Worth a listen if you get the chance! Pete Cooper's group in Camden perform them as a set with a few people doing high, screechy squealing noises (I don't know any other way to describe it!) on their fiddles to sound like seagulls, which definitely adds to the sea-going flavour!

I went to a session in Limerick, and this tune was played. One of the fiddlers told me they always called it Dónal Agus Mórag.

That's because it appears on Altan's "Harvest Storm" with the song Dónal Agus Mórag. Altan don't give the title of the reel in the liner notes.

I know this one from Maggie Sansome's =Mist and Stone=. She medleys it with Shelder Geo & Sleep Soond Ida Morning, a nice combination. It lays very nicely on my piano dulcimer.

Number of parts - 2 or 3??
The way this is written in notation here shows a double length A part followed by a short, repeated B part. However, in looking at the actual notes, it appears that it should be a three part tune, with a normal length A, B and then C part - 8 measures each. The third and forth lines differ only in the last two notes, so could have been written as a two ending repeat, as well.

Addenda...
(I it 'post' before i was ready...)
Would that be right?
I'm having a bit of trouble finding this tune rather than the similarly named jig. It is a dandy.

The Maids of Mt. Kisco is a tune that works well after this one.
