It's hard to avoid aversion building up against tunes when you hear them played badly, even massacred, over and over again. Or even just played not very well.
But things can change. Over 30 years ago I heard a recording of a tune that, at the time, I wouldn't have been seen dead playing. It was Paddy Killoran's recording of The Harvest Home and the tune was instantly rehabilitated for me - it became something exuberant, to play fast and delicately and have fun with.
Similarly I enjoy playing The Boys of Bluehill because, inspired by a recording of Séamus Ennis, I started inverting some of the phrases, as it were, and over a period of years have developed my own setting that I'm quite attached to.
You might get to the point where you break through the aversion barrier. In the world of Irish sessions, tunes like The Kesh Jig or the Butterfly or Banish Misfortune will elicit scorn and curled lips from many who have left the beginner stages behind. But I'll play them with anyone. If they weren't good tunes, they wouldn't be done to death. And when you've really left the beginner stages behind, you will probably find you can do something fresh with them.
