Lavin’s Favourite (reel) 25 May 2012 | 06:21 pm
This also goes under the name of ‘Lavan’s Favorite’ in ‘Ryan’s Mammoth Collection’. I’ve tried to play it fairly close to the dotty version here: http://www.oldmusicproject.com/AA3Sheet/1201-1800/S...
Dillon Brown (aka Laington’s reel) 21 May 2012 | 04:08 am
Here’s a fairly straightforward version of a popular reel in A. I avoided any G sharps in the slow version lest I may sustain a cut finger. There may be one or two (sharps and / or damaged digits) l...
The Girls of Banbridge (jig) 16 May 2012 | 06:44 pm
Here’s an approximation of O’Neill’s version of a popular jig. The dots can be found at: http://www.oldmusicproject.com/AA3Sheet/0701-1200/Sheet-0801-0900/0812-GirlsBanbridge.gif If you want to he...
Carolan’s Concerto 27 Apr 2012 | 03:48 am
Here’s a different sort of tune by way of a change. I’ve just played each part singly the first time round. If I appear to be rushing a bit during the quicker version that’s probably because I was b...

I hope the title of this reel refers to matters ornithological and meteorological and not medical. I was reminded of this tune today when I heard a recording of Sheila O’Dowd playing it ( http://www...

I’ve been trying to learn to play a C#D accordion and was reminded of this tune while playing through a few books as a way of telling my fingers that there’s more than one melody in the world. The bo...
Terry Hi Ho the Grinder (slip jig) 9 Jan 2012 | 03:46 am
Here’s a tune with a funny name. I learned it from a flute player with a less peculiar appellation, i.e. Harry Bradley. I recorded this on a mobile phone mp3 recording app (and a flute) and the end...
Peter Wyper’s Hornpipe 5 Nov 2011 | 01:59 am
Here’s a tune called Peter Wyper’s hornpipe. It is named after one of the Brothers Wyper who is pictured above. I had intended posting a smaller brace of Wypers but couldn’t find the shrink button ...
The Collier’s Reel 13 Aug 2011 | 07:35 pm
Here’s a tune which as was correctly pointed out to me, I had forgotten to post up to now. I’ve played it on a poor, old and sick Rudall flute. I had even taken a picture of the flute but it’s been so...
