Here's "The Bucks of Oranmore" again. This time it's played at a slightly more aggressive rate.

Here's a standard reel of any instrument.  It goes well on the flute.  I've played it as a fairly gentle pace here.  Hopefull this should make it easier to pick up.

Here's a reel named after a goat.  I suppose it's as good a think as any to name a reel after.  It's a popular tune and nice to play on the flute.  There are plenty of recordings of this.  As far as I remember Frankie Gavin has it on his flute record "Up and away" / "Croch Suas é".  The same goat is also to be found in lots of other places too.  It might even be a "Coat" in some of them.

Hello,

I'm not sure where I picked this tune up but I recently noticed that a version very like this one os in Ceol Rince na hÉireann Vol2,  number 313.  It's attributed to a musician called Alex Kerr.

Here's a very popular reel.

(PS.  I don't know much about the internet.  Does having so many tunes on one page make it very slow to load if you don't have broadband?  I could change the settings to only have 50 tunes per page if that would help.)

Here's a well known 3 part reel which works well on the flute.  I think I only played the bits once each first time round when I was playing it slowly.  It should be more or less OK after that.

Here's a very common jig.  I think it was made popular by being on a Planxty record at some stage.

Here's a reel which John Doherty from Donegal used to play on the fiddle. As with the previous tune, it has been lying about on the server for a while. I can't remember why I didn't post it. I'll listen to it when I get home and replace it if it sounds too dodgy.

(I've just listened to this one too and know why I didn't put it on before.  Bad and all as it sounds, you should still be able to learn the tune.)
