episode 1: Paddy Fahy’s Reel (1)
I'm not really the right person to be playing this great composer's tunes but as I'm the one who happens to be nearest this computer, I'll have to do. I've just called this No.1 to mark it out from any subsequent PF reels which I might play in future.
episode 1: Paddy Kelly’s Reel
Here's one for flutes with flats. It's a bit vague here as per usual but it's a nice wee tune.
episode 1: Colonel Rodney’s Reel
I'm sorry about the clicky G# key in this one. I think my fingers may need a drop oil too.
episode 1: The Stage Hornpipe
I've been asked to try this one. Well, at least I tried. I sort of learned it once off a Michael Coleman record but I don't have that record any more so I'm relying on memory; never a wise move in my case.
episode 1: The Stack of Barley (hornpipe)
Here's a very common hornpipe. I'm sorry about the sound. I listened back to it (I normally don't) and it sounds as if I recorded it in a particularly cavernous public lavatory. May it was the same one in which some 1970s record companies used...
episode 1: The Beauty Spot (reel)
As with a lot of apparently simple tunes, there are lots of variations of this reel. This is in danger of not being any of them.
episode 1: Colonel Frazer’s Reel
I've been asked to play this one so here it is. There are lots of versions of it and I'm never sure which one is closest to a standard one. I'll not guarantee than this effort will make people any the wiser as to the answer to that question.
episode 1: Tripping Up The Stairs (jig)
Here's a very popular jig which I was asked to play. It's especially popular among people who are learning to play the flute or the tin whistle. Stair carpets have a lesser regard for it.
episode 1: Brian O’Lynn (jig)
This is a fairly common tune. I'm sorry if it appears hurried in places but I was getting withering looks from a baby while I played it and that put me off a bit.
episode 1: The Morning Thrush (reel)
I was asked to play this reel and here's my attempt to oblige. Séamus Ennis's father wrote the tune and there's a great rendition of Séamus playing available on a CD. I think youtube even has a video of the same performance. My attempt at pi...
