Here's a reel from the playing of Paddy Taylor, a flute player from Abbyfeale in Co. Limerick who played a wooden Bohm flute.

I can't tell you much about this.  I think of it as one of those common tunes which I never hear.  There a lot of tunes with that air of virtual commonness about their airs (not sure about their grace-notes).

I'm having to jog my memory by flicking through a few books to see the start of tunes.  This particular aide memoir lives in Ceol Rince na hÉireann Vol1.  I'll very likely be looking through Vols 2, 3, 4 (not sure about this one; it has some very strange things in it) and 5 to be reminded of more tunes.

Here's a tune I heard on a Tommy Peoples record a good few years ago. The passage of time might explain how my memory of which note go where has gone who knows where. For a fiddle tune, I think it's OK for the flute.

Here's a jig called "Let us be drinking and kissing the ladies". I haven't really much to say about that.

It's a good jig and a popular one. I believe some things in the title are also popular in certain quarters.

Here's a reel in "C" named after the great, late fiddle player, A McG.

When I play tunes on the flute in "C" there always seems to be a slightly bronchial drainpipe sound going on. Sometimes the flute sounds funny too.

Being a bit parochial, I usually associate this tune with a different, fairly recently lost fiddle player, Seán McGuire.

Maybe I'll just call it McG's reel.

Here's a highland. The playing is a bit more gormless than Gormond here but it is getting late and I find it hard to be otherwise.

This is a fairly common tune.  I hope you like it.
