June 07, 2019The Church Street polkaHere's a tune I was asked to post here. It's a great tune but I can't play polkas, so I never play them, so I can't play them, so I never play them, so ... The associated polka dots are here: https://thesession.org/tunes/1560 ...more2minPlay
May 19, 2019The London ClogHere's a tune which Tom Morrison recorded i 1928. London clogs are probably mainly fatbergs in the sewers these days. Here it is played properly:https://archive.org/details/TomMorrisonTheLondonClog Here it is written out badly:...more3minPlay
May 11, 2019The Milky Way (reel)This reel was made in space for the flute; sorry this effort isn't as out of this world as the title would suggest. ...more3minPlay
May 10, 2019Peg McGrath’s reelHere's a tune written by Josie McDermott in honour of Peg McGrath who made one of the nicest flute noises I've ever heard. ...more2minPlay
May 09, 2019The Whistling Postman - jigA short tune to fill a spare minute. I don't know how much postmen/postwomen (or even postmodernists) whistle now under the burden of Amazon boxes. ...more3minPlay
May 04, 2019Jack Rowe - reelHere's a tune I first heard from a recording of John McGuire - Seán's father. The guy in the photo was Jack Rowe - looks like he could blow a flute with the back of his neck. Some feat. Some neck. ...more3minPlay
May 03, 2019The Mount Collins Reel (The Girls of Farranfore)Here's a reel which you can hear Denis Murphy playing at: Mount Collins Reel / Doon Reel. There are special wobbles in the second tune which, according to the info at archive.org, are due to a hole being 'punched slightly off-center'. I'd imagine that could cause a wobble or two right enough. Here are some notes: https://thesession.org/tunes/4026 ...more2minPlay
December 10, 2016Black Pat’s Reel I've been living in a teeny weeny flat in Luxembourg for the last three weeks and have been afraid to play in case the people in the teeny weeny flats above and beside me objected. I finally got playing last night in a pub at a session with 4 flutes - just like home only the drink was a lot dearer. This tune was mentioned (not by me) but nobody knew it well enough to play it. I've given myself a crash course in playing the tune today in my teeny weeny apartment in this nice little country. I think the first half of the term 'crash course' might be the most relevant here. I'll blame that on my fear of annoying the residents near my little Luxembourgish lodging. I think Tommy Peoples made this tune up. Best to find a recording of him playing it, or any other tune for that matter....more4minPlay
