Do You Want Any More? jig

get d 4 mn n a dog cd sum1

This is one of my favorite tunes to play. Again I gave no ornaments, I figure that cam come later in discussion. Anyway I learned this as “Do You Want Anymore” and play it on (gasp!) the recorder, ‘cause it’s just so much fun, & makes me look like I’m playing faster than I am. 🙂 I didn’t know there was another name for it until I heard Cillian & Niall Vallely play it in concert as a reel… the Collier’s Reel. Niall swears a lot of people play it but he can’t remember who. Both versions are great. I’ve noticed that all the copies I can find online are very different from what we play, so I thought I’d share this way.

Cheers!

You can listen to the beautiful trio playing of Claire Keville, John Weir and Eithne Ni Dhonaile: http://www.custysmusic.com/mall/CustysTraditionalMusicShop/claire_keville.htm

Laurence Nugent plays the reel version on The Windy Gap, not this version. It’s accredited to him on the details as a jig.
Just a silly detail.
Love the tune - often comes (as a reel) up in Lancaster session. Might try upsetting everyone by launching into the jig instead.

Here’s the version of Collier’s from this youtube of Barry Kerr and Ruben Bada.

the melodic contour is reminiscent of Garrett Barry’s https://thesession.org/tunes/544 (indeed the last bars of the 1st part are the same)

Head this lovely setting played by the Piper Sean McAloon. Very peculiar but effective setting.

On the McAloon video it goes by the name of Maloney’s, perhaps he learned an obscure setting?

Appears on Mike Rafferty’s album Speed 78

On the Kane sisters’ debut album (The Well-Tempered Bow, which oddly isn’t the name of a tune on the album, lol), they close the record with “Do You Want Anymore?”, into The Broken Pledge in jig form, into the reel Maude Miller… Played with their perfect,signature steady tempo, strong bowing, and the perfect blend of repetition & ornaments/variations. It’s fun how they play Collier’s as a jig followed by Broken Pledge as well.

TBH, I learned the BP and Colliers jigs when I was in high school, before ever knowing of either reel! It took me traveling to Limerick, to one of the nightly sessions at Dolan’s Warehouse, where I was amazed at these reels. The shock. The awe of it all. My friends says, “Ah sure, it’s called The Colliers reel. Class tune; fairly common, though, loike.”
