Description

In David Cunningham’s Setfor The Priest and his Books Tune 3 is not “The Humours of Donnybrook”. On Page 36 of Kerr’s First Collection of Merry Melodies and in the abc tune finder, the title given to the tune that David plays is “The Donnybrook Boy”.

In musical terms, Donnybrook is quite a confusing place.

Thanks. I have updated the 3rd tune in The Priest and his Books to The Donnybrook Boy and added a note linking this issue (not currently shown on the web page but visible to editors).

It would be helpful to know whether its just the SCDDB entry that was wrong or whether the tune was wrongly named on the notes acommpanying the recording. Finlay, do you know that?

In checking for “Donnybrook” I noticed we had tune entries both for “The Humors of Donnybrook” (#11155) just in this recording and “The Humours of Donnybrook” (#5246) in several recordings.

Since tune #11155 is no longer linked to any recording or book I have deleted it. But I added the US spelling as an alias for #5246.
