I’m trying to find a tune that has a weird-sounding name that begins with M, sounds vaguely like “Muireann’s” but I don’t think that’s it… I don’t even remember what type of tune it is I’m afraid!
If anyone can figure out what the feck I’m on about and name the tune I’ll be mighty grateful!
Perhaps this one:
https://thesession.org/tunes/1902
Where did you hear the tune? Do you have a recording?
Also could be this one:
https://thesession.org/tunes/15149
No it’s not those, I think there’s a “v”or a v sound in the name. No recording I’m afraid.
Heydiddle, maybe if you ask Jeremy nicely, he could do a quick database-level query on the tunes database (and maybe you tip a little bit into his site bucket) 🙂
Jeremy - would something like this work?
SELECT * FROM [TunesTable] WHERE [TuneName] LIKE ‘%m%v%’
The Heights Of Muingvuara ?

Mick Marshall’s Melodion.?
Reel of Mullinavat?

Muilleann Na Maidi?

Weird-sounding title, begins with M …
It’s going to be difficult. A lack of the letter “v” in some gaelic languages means the “mh” and other combinations sound like “v”. You won’t be able to search for just the letter as a consequence.
Could it be one of these:
Morven’s March: https://thesession.org/tunes/13930
Morven: https://thesession.org/tunes/17118
Monferrina: https://thesession.org/tunes/7708
Morfa Rhuddlan: https://thesession.org/tunes/7344
Morfa’r Frenhines: https://thesession.org/tunes/2910
Any of the Maeve tunes? https://thesession.org/tunes/search?type=&mode=&q=Maeve
Would it be the song “Kathleen Mavourneen?”
How about this: “Muireann’s Jig” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LheAUk6E9s
Mulvihill’s?

Any chance it might be Mulqueeny’s?
A wonderful unforgettable hornpipe
All the best

Morven it is, thanks MadSweeney! As someone else pointed out earlier, I was thinking it might involve the Irish “mh”, and nobody seemed to know how to spell it when I asked.
Thanks everyone for posting all these lovely tunes too, these look like fun to play!
