I put this on before but in company.  I've just been asked to play it so here it is on its own.  It's only about 9:00am which is a bit early for trimming velvet or anything more elaborate than toast or toenails but I did my poor best.

Here's a reel from the late, great Paddy Mills from North Mayo.

Here's a Donegal version of The Maids of Castlebar.  A don't know whether there's a Mayo version of The Donegal Reel.

I'll record The Maids of Castlebar as well when I get a chance so that the reference to McFarley's being a version of it makes some sort of sense.

Here's a popular and melodic jig which is called by this name in Ceol Rince na hÉireann 5.  It must have been taken down a long time ago.  I don't remember there having been a sun to set recently.

Here's a popular jig dedicated to some semi fossilized plants which usually get thown on a fire.

Here's one which Seán McGuire played.  It's reasonably flutable for all that.

Here's a very very popular reel.  As for the activity described in the title, I know little of it.  The limit of my experience of plumage related activities would be the odd unsuccessful attempt at ruffling.

The Donegal fiddle player John Doherty played a few tunes which he called "The Cameronian Reel", none of which are the normal one of that name. This one was also recorded by Michael Coleman at some stage but I can't remember what he called it.

I've played the first part single here. It maybe ought to be double, or maybe I would have been better leaving both parts out completely.
