This must be a flute tune as it's named after a flute player - a great one at that.

This reels is a bit lonely without its friend "Roaring Mary". I'll add its companion as soon as I can.

Here's a jig which should find noises of recognition at any session.

Here's a well known slip jig.  (I had it attached to the post for "Sweeney's Dream" earlier - I hadn't been asking for the right sort of drink).

This must be a flute tune as it's named after a flute player - a great one at that.

Here's the way I remember this tune. I'm not sure how standard it is.

(Sorry - I had the wrong tune on this.  I've fixed it now.)

Here's a good reel.  I don't think it has as severe effects on flute players as it does on lucht na bpíbí.

This is often in G minor but the flute gets a bit displeased by this tune in that key. The A minor version has the added advantage of being annoying to people who do like the G minor version.

(Not sure about the grammar in the title. I suppose it reflects the heartbroken person's view of the being what caused him such anguish.)

A very popular tune - you can probably blame the Bothy Band for that.

As with most popular tunes, it has a good melody and rhythm.  That's probably why it's popular.  If that's a load of rubbish then it must just be popular courtesy of the Bothy Band.  I don't know whether any of them liked it or were just asked to play it.

I think it's quite nice.

Here's a piping reel which is good on the flute. It sounds a bit like some other reels, sure all reels sound like all other reels. This Irish music all sounds the same to me. I just learned one tune and a few dozen names. That's the reason why I've being recording tunes one at a time. It's like the two people who you've never actually seen in the same room at the one time. Maybe there's only really one person in the world. I fairly sure it's not me so it must be you.
