Introduction 7 Jun 2013 | 05:08 pm
Hello. This site contains recordings I have made as a source of tunes for people who play the flute, or other instruments for that matter. They are just versions of tunes as I remember them. My memory...
Roger’s Jig 7 Jun 2013 | 05:07 pm
Here’s an old, neglected Sligo jig. There’s a recording of Paddy Sweeney from Moylough in Sligo playing it on a fiddle in 1937: http://archive.org/details/PaddySweenyRogersJigVillageJig. I like lis...
The Southwest Wind (An Ghaoth Aniar Aneas) - jig 2 May 2013 | 02:25 am
Here’s a jig from the South West - mar atá Co. Clare. I associate it with Willie Clancy. I’m not sure whether its title refers to the direction the air flowed through his pipes while he played it. ...
Michael Ryan’s reel 10 Apr 2013 | 04:43 pm
Here’s a Gan Ainm - one of a host of Gans Ainm in Breandán Breathnach’s Ceol Rince na hÉireann 2. At least the person BB got the tune from had an ainm - namely Michael Ryan, a flute player from Co. S...
Lad O’Beirne’s Reel (2) 21 Mar 2013 | 09:05 pm
Here’s another Lad O’Beirne’s reel. I don’t know much about it. The notes in dotty form can be found here: http://tunepal.org/tunepal/show_tune.php?tunepalid=1209-misc-tunes2_A-M.abc-30-Lad~O~Beirn...
The Morning Lark (jig) 7 Mar 2013 | 09:37 pm
Here’s a close relative of the ‘Lark in the Morning’. This one has fewer parts - from my playing it sounds as though it may be missing a wing and part of its voice. http://tunepal.org/tunepal/show_t...
Paddy Fahey’s reel 19 Jan 2013 | 02:36 am
Here’s a reel I was reminded of today by listening to a recording of Brendan McGlinchey, the great fiddle player from Armagh. He plays it in C on the recording but I’m all at sea without a paddle in ...
Ownie Davey’s Reel 11 Jan 2013 | 02:00 am
Here’s another effort on my Rudall and Lazarus flute. The version of the tune here is decidedly dodgy. I half learned it lots of moons ago before I ever heard a recording of it. A more reliable ver...
John Dwyer’s Reel 9 Jan 2013 | 07:41 pm
Here’s my latest attempt to play my old Rudall flute. I’ve been using a combination of insulating tape, knives, scissors, super glue, our child’s skin moisturiser and kettle steam as tools of resusci...
Up Sligo 8 Jan 2013 | 07:34 pm
Here’s a jig which comes from up Sligo. Dots can be found up here: http://tunepal.org/tunepal/show_tune.php?tunepalid=2272-21.abc-1-Up~Sligo Download Standard Podcasts
