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

December 10, 2016Introduction **** Tune Index all Muddled up **** I've just posted a tune here for the first time in months. While I was on the site I noticed that the tune names are no longer in alphabetical order. I think they are now in chronoligical order. If you just type Ctrl +F and then put in the tune name, or part of the name, it will take you to the link for that tune if it is on the site. Hello. This site contains recordings I have made as a source of tunes for people who play the flute, or other instruments for that matter. They are just versions...more5minPlay
February 13, 2016Sweet Biddy Daly (jig)This jig is also known as 'Health to the Ladies'. It's a good tune for getting used to playing in A as it doesn't need any G sharps.As for the identity of Sweet Biddy Daly: I think she was the alter ego of Sour Suzie Knightly.https://thesession.org/tunes/327...more2minPlay
