Here'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.

A search on the page for 078 will then find the recording.

It a fine recording of a great musician.  I hope it is still available.  The contact details on the site will hopefully lead you to it.)

I might start using this road myself instead of the train which took 5 hours last Saturday to get there from Belfast.

This is yet another popular reel which I hadn't remembered until now.

Here's yet another one that got away.  This is close to the version the box player Joe Cooley from Peterswell, Co.Galway, played.  He mightn't have had a blocked left ear, though.  I think it's either blocked with bits of forgotten tunes or else maybe that's were all the odd socks are.

The stereo version of this reel is very popular in sessions.

Here's another tune which I thought I must have recorded already but doesn't come up in a search of this site.  I suppose it's like so many other things I think I've ever learned which don't come up in a search of my head either.

I seem to remember this reel being quite pleasant and also quite popular in sessions.

I did a search for "Fairy" on this site and nothing came back for it.  I'll take that to mean that this is the first time I have posted this tune.  It's a fairly popular fairy tune.

Here's a reel which I think comes from Fermanagh.  Eddie Duffy came from Fermanagh so that's who I'm associating the tune with.  This is all a but tenuous but it might be right despite my best efforts.

I was asked to post this popular jig so here it is.  I've recently heard some people playing a couple of extra parts at the end of this tune.  I get the impression that the only function of the other parts is to make those who play them feel pleased with themselves for being able to remember four bits all at once.  As a two part jig I think it an excellent tune.

I'm putting on a Father Kelly's (2) without first posting an FK's (1).  I know that this is the wrong way to go about things and I also know that this tune isn't either of the tunes which I think really are called Father Kelly's.  I saw this tune with the FK tag on it in a book.  If anyone has another name for it, please let me know.
