July 24, 2008Hinchey’s Delight (jig)I've seen this tune with a "Hinch" and also with a "Hench". I was never a good henchman so I'll stick with i before e...more3minPlay
July 21, 2008The Rolling Wave (jig)Here's a tune which I found lurking amongst the ones which I must have uploaded at some stage. I don't know why I never posted this one and I'm too much of a coward to listen back to it to find out. I'll leave the mal de mer to others.There is a lovely tune called "The Rolling Wave". I hope this is like it but I'll not bet on it....more3minPlay

July 16, 2008The Cat’s Rambles (jig)There's a jig called "Kitty's Rambles" / "The Rambles of Kitty" (depending on which form of the genitive case is to the fore) but this one is nothing like it, apart from having the same time signature, structure and almost the same name. I've never seen this one referred to as "The Rambles of Cat" but I have seen "Whelan's Old Sow" (but not "The Old Sow of Whelan") pinned to it.Neither tunes' names nor names of tunes ever made much sense to me. Hopefully this cat's / Kit's / whatever you please sir's, apostrophised journey won't lead to an 'astrophe....more3minPlay

July 12, 2008The Glen Road To Carrick (reel)Here's a version of a popular reel from South West Donegal. There's at least one other version of this tune and once I've got over the trauma of trying to remember this one I'll try to remember it too.I've put 2 tunes on today as it being the twelfth of July, there are lots of other flute players and their friends clogging the streets of Belfast and causing businesses and places of entertainment to close. This gives me a lot of time to spend in the house this sunny Saturday....more3minPlay
July 12, 2008The Morning Thrush (reel)I was asked to play this reel and here's my attempt to oblige. Séamus Ennis's father wrote the tune and there's a great rendition of Séamus playing available on a CD. I think youtube even has a video of the same performance.My attempt at picking through the tune is far from what the real thing is but at least it's in 'D'. (I had to find some good point to refer to)....more4minPlay
July 09, 2008Brian O’Lynn (jig)This is a fairly common tune. I'm sorry if it appears hurried in places but I was getting withering looks from a baby while I played it and that put me off a bit....more2minPlay
