I know about rolling out the barrel. Here another way to barrel roll.

This tune is on a record of PJ Hayes and Paddy Canny.

Here's one which I was sent a while ago (thanks Billy) and have only got around to posting now.

Here is the four part 'D' version of the previous jig.

Here's a jig the title of which sometimes states the apples as being Gillan's and not Gillian's. As Gillan is just a Gillian with an eye missing then bad spllenig probably accounts for this.  There are two main versions of this tune.  Here's the two part one in G.

This is the one some people call "The Copperplate" while calling the one I call "The Old Copperplate" "The Copperplate".  If you search this site for "Copperplate" you'll find the one I call "The Copperplate" sandwiched between 2 other tunes which I neither call "The Copperplate" nor "The Old Copperplate".  I hope that clears up any potential confusion.

Here's a reel written by Larry Redican. I could never really get all that constellation stuff (or anything to do with the universe for that matter). The nocturnal lanterns all just look like dots to me. I'd love to be able to look up and see "Ursa Minor" or "Pegasus" or "The Sturmey Archer 3 Seeed Hub" but all I get are dots.

Nice Reel though. Thanks again, C.

(The rest of the list is going to require a bit of head scratching - hard to do while playing a flute but nothing ventured ...)

This is another of Reavy's tunes.  I had to check in a book of his tunes to see which one matched this name.  I then had to check the order in which my fingers waggled in order to bring my version towards some sort of approximation of the way he had written it.

Hopefully this version should be close enough to play with people with better powers of recall than mine.

It is one of Reavy's most popular reels.

The picture is just a blatant ploy to allow me to quote Sherlock Holmes when asked what had happened to the gates ... "Lemon entry, my dear Watson" (primary school, 1975).

This is a very popular reel, again from my new list (thankyou).

I hope all gates that should be, are now very verdant indeed.
