I posted this tune before but it I had the name totally wrong, or the tune, maybe both.  I think this one really is called "The Reel of Mullinavat".

Here's a jig with a few B flats and F naturals.  Can a flute be a can of worms?  I do the B flats with half-covering.  The F naturals are with a short key.  I was always a bit vague about the exactitude of the accidentals.  Anyway, it'll be one source of the tune for whoever wants it.

Here's a reel from the world of piping.  I'd imagine the flags aren't the sort which flutter unless the weather is really rough.  Did you ever see a paving slab up a pole?

Here's a reel called Eileen Curran. I think I'd rather call these "people reels" -  "Eileen Curran's Reel" and so on. The personification of tunes always made me feel a bit uneasy for some reason.

Anyway, the good news is that there ate no G sharps in this tune. Shame about the high C naturals. (I half cover them here.)

Here's a version of the Beare Island Reel with no G sharps.  I lay no claims to it being any good.  It's just an idea to be playing with.

Here's a good tune for flute players.  It's also very popular in sessions (as far as I remember).

Here's a melodic jig which is I don't hear played all that much (I wonder if that could be because I almost never go to sessions these days).  I think it deserves a bit of an airing from time to time.

Here's a very popular reel which isn't too cruel to flute players.  I'm sorry if I've been cruel to it.

If anyone has any requests (maybe even to stop) please get in touch [email protected].  I appreciate any feedback.  I've put my shoes back on for this tune as I know the tapping was of use to at least one person.  I'm sorry for not having had it in the last few sets. I'll make sure I'm shod from now on.

All the best, and I hope you like the tunes.

The first tune is a reliable old standard. The second one is sometimes played a key below the present one but is handier on the flute in A minor. You can get the dogs to yelp a bit louder in the higher key.

* Thanks to William for pointing out that the first tune is not The Reel of Mullinavat. I think it is Gerry Commane's Reel. I'll put the tune which belongs to the "Reel of Mullinavat" on when I get a chance.
