June 05, 2007Gorman’s Reel (2)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".

June 02, 2007Cornelius Curtin's Big BalloonThis is a tune with a great name.I'll tidy up this post tomorrow. I'm feeling too vague just now.Today is now tomorrow and I'm fit to add that I heard this one on Paddy Carty's LP. It's named after "The Balloon" which was a pub in Fulham, London owned by Con Curtin from Kerry....more2minPlay
