episode 108: The Bantry Lasses (reel)
I had to look this one up in "The Book" when asked tp post it. I found it in O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland, 1001 Gems (No. 469). I had just previously found "The Book" on the sideboard by the door into the kitchen. There is some audible dissent...
episode 109: Johnny Cope (hornpipe)
Here a very long hornpipe which I've been asked to play. I maybe played it a bit too fast the second time around but as it has so many parts I had to rush to finish it before the shops shut. (This version is vaguely like the one in Ceol Rince na ...
episode 110: Mulqueeny’s Hornpipe
Here's one I wasn't asked to play. I wasn't asked not to play it either so as it doesn't seem to be here already I thought I'd give it a go. I think I was half the age I am now when I last played this tune and if I live to be twice the age I am now...
episode 111: The Mount Collins Reel (The Girls of Farranfore)

episode 112: Jack Rowe - reel

episode 113: The Whistling Postman - jig
A short tune to fill a spare minute. I don't know how much postmen/postwomen (or even postmodernists) whistle now under the burden of Amazon boxes.
episode 114: Peg McGrath’s reel
Here's a tune written by Josie McDermott in honour of Peg McGrath who made one of the nicest flute noises I've ever heard.
episode 115: The Milky Way (reel)
This reel was made in space for the flute; sorry this effort isn't as out of this world as the title would suggest.
episode 116: The London Clog
Here's a tune which Tom Morrison recorded i 1928. London clogs are probably mainly fatbergs in the sewers these days. Here it is played properly: https://archive.org/details/TomMorrisonTheLondonClog Here it is written out badly:
episode 117: The Church Street polka
Here's a tune I was asked to post here. It's a great tune but I can't play polkas, so I never play them, so I can't play them, so I never play them, so ... The associated polka dots are here: https://thesession.org/tunes/1560
