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.

Thanks for the name, Harry. I'm glad it wasn't Nelly.

I've been trying to be organised by recording tunes in advance and then posting them over athe subsequent days. This is OK when I have names for them but I've labelled this mp3 file as "ganainm17-18" and I can't really remember what it is. I suspect that it is a reel from which appears on pages 17 - 18 of the book "A Trip To Sligo". If I'm right then it's a good flute reel and the Trip to Sligo version comes from the playing of Colm O'Donnell (although I have neither access to the book or to a sound source to check). On the other hand it might just be Danny Boy or Nelly the Elephant. That mightn't be so bad either as I'm probably posting too many reels anyway.
