August 22, 2007Gone For His Tea (reel)Here's a nice reel which Michael Tubridy played on his LP "The Eagle's Whistle". I've been stealing a lot of tunes from that LP lately which is odd as I haven't heard it for at least ten years. I have it buried somewhere in my record collection which is, in turn, buried somewhere in my dust collection....more2minPlay
August 21, 2007The Wheels of the World (jig)There are world wheels of the reel variety but here are the ones in jig time. This jig can be found on one of Mary Bergin's records, among other places....more2minPlay
August 20, 2007Tie The RibbonsI had intended to post a different tune but I must have forgotten to upload it and as a result it is languishing on my computer at home. I, on the other hand, am languishing somewhere else.Here's this tune instead. I think Bobby Casey used to play it....more3minPlay
August 19, 2007Josie McDermott's (The Trip to Birmingham)Here's a reel written by the great flute / whistle / saxophone player and singer Josie McDermott. I think it was called as above but I'm not totally sure. I'm sorry about the minor choking fit towards the end. I should really rerecord the tune but I have to go out before the shop shuts....more3minPlay

August 17, 2007Paddy Breen's JigHere's a nice jig (I have yet to admit to playing any horrible ones but I'm sure there are plenty of emetic melodies on this site) which comes from the tin whistle playing of Paddy Breen from Co. Clare. Michael Tubridy put it on his LP "The Eagle's Whistle". There's a recording of Paddy Breen to be got too, in case anyone is really keen.http://www.folktrax.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/menus/cassprogs/078.htm(26/09/2008 The link above doesn't work any more.

I hope it is still available. The contact details on the site will hopefully lead you to it.)...more2minPlay
