Subject: DINGLE REGATTA From: The Sandman Date: 12 Feb 17 - 06:44 PM the common 3 part version was composed by Seán Ó Riada, or perhaps was two different tunes amalgamated, can anyone confirm that this tune was in fact a bastardisation by this "composer". Musicians from Sliabh Luchra seem reluctant to play this COMPOSITION, but prefer the more subtle 2 part version. |
Subject: RE: DINGLE REGATTA From: Steve Shaw Date: 12 Feb 17 - 07:21 PM Wouldn't be the same without the standing up bits in part three, Dick. I never suspected that it was such a politically-charged tune! |
Subject: RE: Dingle Regatta - tune origins From: GUEST,Peter C Date: 13 Feb 17 - 03:24 AM I thought it was 'accidentally' put together from three pre-existing tunes by Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains - or so he claimed! |

Subject: RE: Dingle Regatta - tune origins From: Steve Shaw Date: 13 Feb 17 - 08:38 AM There's a lengthy conversation about it on The Session website. Put the tune in tbe search box. Whether you'll be especially enlightened is a moot point. |

Subject: RE: Dingle Regatta - tune origins From: Big Al Whittle Date: 13 Feb 17 - 11:03 AM wouldn't you think the tune would be a source of civic pride, and there should be a cabinet in the town hall devoted to its history? |

Subject: RE: Dingle Regatta - tune origins From: Steve Shaw Date: 13 Feb 17 - 12:54 PM Aye, it's a lonesome road to Dingle. I have that cassette too, Keith. Gawd knows where it is, but I do remember the tune in just two parts. |

Subject: RE: Dingle Regatta - tune origins From: The Sandman Date: 14 Feb 17 - 01:33 PM It would be great IMO if people would abandon the horrible 3 part junk, standing up and passing wind version, and play the original version |
