Here's one I was asked for.  For some reason (maybe because I almost never go out playing) I haven't heard this tune for a while so this version mightn't be very up to date.  It may have a chance of being recognised as at least a relative of the "Flowing Bowl" which does get played by people who do go out.

I've recently been reminded of this one.  I never knew its name until about ten minutes ago.  Maybe in another ten minutes' time I'll know the notes as well.

I think Paddy O'Brien wrote it.  It was probably a lovely tune when it left his fingers first ... like they say in Belfast about the Titanic - "it was all right when it left here".

I don't know that I've ever played this tune before but I've been asked for it so here is an attempt. I'm more of a terra firma person myself but I hope this maritime melody has survived my mal de mer.

I've put the apostrophe before the last "s" thinking that this tune was the property of a single salt.

I know there is a name out there somewhere for this reel so I'll not write a whole pile on nonsense just now about the lack of one as I'll probably only have to change it soon anyway.

Here's a tune which I think is named after a bridge.  Talking of bridges, I think I learned this on the fiddle in B flat.  My fingers seem unwilling to coax this tune out of a 2 keyed flute in that key so here it is in C.  I'm not sure whether C belongs to it but that's how it came out this time.

Here's one I've been asked to record.  I had to look it up and I'm a bit uncertain of ho it goes.  This version is probably sufficiently washed-up to at least have some shore connections anyway.

Here's one for flutes with flats.  It's a bit vague here as per usual but it's a nice wee tune.
