This tune sometimes gets "Wellington's" reel and probably other names to boot.  It's also in "A" on occasions.  I've played it in "G" here.  An easy life is often best.  (Fiddle players don't necessarily like "A" either as it makes them drop the fiddle trying to reach the higher notes.

I'm not sure whether the title refers to a penny dropping in Castleblaney or to something sticky.  Which ever if the above (or adjacent) is true, the tune seems to have stuck the years OK.

Here's a slow tune for a change.  It's probably easier than a lot of slow tunes to pick up and, unlike a good book, I'm sure it will be even easier to put down.  If I get enough requests to so do, I'll remove it.

Here's another reel which I've no name for.  If anyone can ainmate it then please let me know.  It can be found in Ceol Rince na hÉireann 2, number 221 with most of the notes matching the ones in this version.

Here's a polka. My apologies to polka land people for my interpretation of it.

A lot of them are good tunes for learning and are well suited to the flute.

Here's a Sligo Maidish type of reel.  There are different version's of this one around.  This one's more or less the same as the one in the book Alan's Irish Fiddler.

I'm only after finding a link with all the tunes in that book:  http://www.oldmusicproject.com/allans.html

They also seem to have O'Neill's Music of Ireland on the site.  Aren't people kind?

I saw this name for this tune in a book.  I can't remember which book at this stage.  My memory is like the result of a vagueness generator being put in a cheap food blender (both food and blender).  This reel sounded familiar to me when I recorded it but that was a couple of long days ago.  A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then.  Most of the water was mixed with other, more potentially confusion inducing liquids, and the bridge was the sort which lives in a mouth.

I hope the tune is OK notwithstanding all this.

Here's a standard tune, albeit with a lot of non standard versions.  It is often played after "Down The Broom".

I hope it really does go like this.

Here's a tune that's listed in Ceol Rince na hÉireann 3, No. 188, as "Gorman's Reel".  It sounds a bit like an A minor "Sporting Nell".  I don't know when a minor sporting Nell is like a sort of under 18 camogie player.

Whatever about that, it's a nice reel and easy enough in this key.
