I am considering lilting a tune or two with my band, sort of as a break in an instrumental set of jigs or reels. My band plays Irish Traditional music, with a splash of other stuff. Does any one out there ideas about what works for this? I have loads of vocalist type questions like, should I stick to just an A part in the tune? Should I sing it full voice, or sort of quiet? What vowels work and what words work for lilting? Should you lilt on one set of words "hiddle dee dil do diddle" or is that too phony? (Of course this will be done somewhat tongue in cheek, anyway)

I have some recordings with lilting, but I would also appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks in advance, for any ideas you might share with me.
