I was told this name for this tune by someone I sometimes trust.  I'm not sure whether this is one of those occasions.

I hope it's a nice jig whatever its name is.

The first part of this tune should really be played an octave lower on a fiddle,  complete with nice growly bits.  I'm afraid a flute is all I had to hand so this is the best I could do.  I'm never sure how to end this tune on any instrument.  Maybe not starting it would work.

This is a John Doherty tune which is also known as the Monaghan Switch.  There are a few versions on the go but this is the one which is stuck in my head at the moment.  It's more or less the same as the version in the book "The Northern Fiddler".

I was asked to play this tune and am very grateful to have been reminded of it.  I apologise if my evening's libatory recreations have blurred Barney's notes too much.  There's a flute player from my town who recorded this tune in a more sober manner.  If my version's vagueness is too vicissitudinal then verification could be found in the vicinity his CD. He is called Marcas.

Oíche mhaith,

Michael.

This is a version of Dr. Gilbert's Reel.  I could do with the services of the same Mr. Quack as my hearing, breathing and tuning are all away with it.  I Think it's just what's known as a cold but I intend moaning about it all the same.  Sorry if this sounds worse than normal.  It's hard to sneeze and maintain in-tune-producing breaths down a flute at the same time.  Maybe I should try dissolving the Lemsip rather than snorting it.

Comes from big cow's?

Here's a very popular reel. I don't know a wild pile about it.

I think I have one of these which helps me cook.
