01 Nov 12 - 08:28 AM (#3429283) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Likewise. I've never heard of any lyrics to this tune. However, when the Liverpool Ceili Band played it they used to jump out of their seats and lilt in chorus. "Hi ho, diddley do..........." |

01 Nov 12 - 09:39 AM (#3429315) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST I know the tune is overplayed, but I wonder if at some point there might have been words. It seems like such a straightforward tune that it could be sung. M.E. |

01 Nov 12 - 12:16 PM (#3429400) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: G-Force As it's got a range of an octave and a sixth, it wouldn't be the easiest of tunes to sing. |

01 Nov 12 - 12:53 PM (#3429419) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Auldtimer Dingle Regatta ... Was one of the favorite tunes played by John Doonan and Dave Bullmer. The very same Mudcat No.1 musical personality. And he used to sing a bit in the middle a well. |

01 Nov 12 - 01:32 PM (#3429433) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Philippa I think that's the tune that "Irish Rebel Theater" used to sing to, lines about Suffering Irish, suffering Irish, suffering Irish Catholics (repeat) They bow, they pray, they go to mass three times a day .... really! anyone remember that? If you know Jim Olwell or Bill Ochs they might corroborate? |

|
28 Apr 23 - 05:15 PM (#4171030) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: Steve Shaw I don't agree. I think it works really well as a three-part tune. And Sean wasn't a bad old boy, was he? |

28 Apr 23 - 11:43 PM (#4171053) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Guest The Slide Dingle Regatta was made famous by O’ Riada & The Chieftians It was a mix up from two other tunes As a slide the three part version does not work well, which brings up the question, is the purpose of the music for dancing,if it fails as a slide dance tune, is it a good tune? |
|
29 Apr 23 - 12:11 AM (#4171054) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Guest There is a great version of the Dingle Regatta on Seamus Creagh’s album Came the Dawn. There are only two parts, the usual first part you mentioned and a different second part, no third part. |

29 Apr 23 - 12:15 AM (#4171055) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST Was the original two part version written by Tom Billy Murphy of Ballydesmond? |
|
29 Apr 23 - 04:49 AM (#4171061) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: Steve Shaw If it fails as a three-part dancing tune, just drop the C part. As a three-part fun pub tune it's always worked for us. Rules? What rules! |

29 Apr 23 - 05:10 AM (#4171063) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Guest All depends why you are playing the music, if you are trying to play the music as well as you can and for dancing the 3 part version is rubbish for dancing as a slide. Steve Shaw, if you were in the company of Jackie Daly,I doubt if you would play the 3 part clown version. When I am lucky enough to be in that situation I try to listen to how an expert player interprets the music,I do not jump up and down like an ageing, demented, decrepit, leprechaun. For me it is about listening and learning, not acting the goat. If I want to see clowns I go to a circus. |

29 Apr 23 - 06:05 AM (#4171066) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: Steve Shaw Hello Dick. Well we always take what we do seriously and we know how to play for dancing. But if we're in the pub having fun we are not going to be sitting there all po-faced worrying about dancers who aren't there. I learned a lot of the tunes I play from Jackie Daly and I love him. I can assure you that he doesn't always stick to dancing speeds, etc., when he's not playing for dancers. And you may look like that demented leprechaun when you're jumping up and down but the leprechaun that looks anything like my shape or size has yet to be born, you ould party pooper you. |

29 Apr 23 - 07:57 AM (#4171080) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Guest Jackie Daly plays a two part version of The Dingle Regatta,which works as a slide, the people who prefer to try and play the tune well are not party poopers, they are people who have respect for the music. Fun is subjective, jumping up and down and acting like a clown is not my idea of fun. |
|
29 Apr 23 - 08:49 AM (#4171081) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Guest Why not do "I am a little teapot song" to The Dingle Regatta. with teapot actions, and take your clothes off, whilst jumping up and down, it has to be fun. |

29 Apr 23 - 08:53 AM (#4171083) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,jim bainbridge no, it's all very shocking- we cannot have people actually having fun while listening to music- heaven forbid- and the correct count of diddles in the Dingle tune is of course essential. On the subject of slides, 'God Save the King' works beautifully as a slide- might raise a laugh among us republicans just now... |

29 Apr 23 - 09:17 AM (#4171088) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: Steve Shaw I've been known to have a whole bunch of fun on occasion doing that, as it happens. Not recently, sadly, as I'd only do my back in if I tried. Interestingly, Dick, I've just been looking at the entry in the tune section of TheSession for Dingle Regatta. The first entry was made by Jeremy 21 years ago. In lots of other entries, the tune's parts are mixed and matched in all sorts of ways, some two, some three, different parts to the bog standard three-parter, even some different parts in two-part versions. Quite a few allusions to the demented leprechaun shenanigans which so offend you, plenty of mentions of fun, but guess what: not a single criticism from anyone, not a single mention of anyone disrespecting the music. Guess you're on your own! |

29 Apr 23 - 10:06 AM (#4171095) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Guest ha ha, the manuscripts on that forum are renowned as inaccurate, yes of course you are right, why not turn tunes and music into teapots and nudism as clowning exhibition a bit like the poor wild rover a perfectly good song turned in to up your kilt, go ahead |

29 Apr 23 - 10:19 AM (#4171096) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST I am all in favour of having fun whilst playing music, my idea of fun is trying to play the tune well, so please allow me to do that without having to clown around. each to their own |

29 Apr 23 - 11:06 AM (#4171100) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: Steve Shaw Well try to not frown at the shenanigans going on all around you. Mind you, if they knew it was you they'd sit stock still, expressionless, I suppose. Poor old Dingle Regatta! By the way, I think I'll sign myself in as "GUEST guest guest guest guest" from now on... just to avoid confusion, you understand... |

30 Apr 23 - 02:18 AM (#4171153) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,Guest JIM BAINBRIDGE.I have provided a lot of fun, organising a festival for 10 yeats and even booking you twice. This weekend there is a very succesful jazz festival in Ballydehob. I was one of the people that stated it over 15 years ago and given people a lot of fun. |

30 Apr 23 - 05:23 AM (#4171157) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Regatta From: GUEST,jim bainbridge I assume this is Dick Miles, I didn't know that till Steve Shaw mentioned you recently, but I'm not too surprised. You speak rather like a tory politician answering questions which have not been asked a la Micky McConnell's song starting 'I'm very glad you asked me that.....' - well I didn't! You did book me twice at your festival in Ballydehob, and and I thank you for that, and it was good to meet some old local pals there, but I realised then why I'd left 24 years ago now & am much happier in Scotland thanks -- I didn't accept further invitations. I don't give a monkeys' what goes on in Ballydehob and my view of the music is very different to yours, so can we just leave it at that please? |
