Clarkson's reel

The Cat in the Corner (jig)
25/03/2020 Duration: 01minO'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland tune number 129 I probably would have been better getting the cat to play it.

The Wren Hornpipe
23/03/2020 Duration: 02minHere's another tune from O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland. I hadn't noticed it before, despite its being there since 1907. I don't remember ever seeing a wren either. Maybe because they're so small.
-
The Tongs by the Fire (jig)
22/03/2020 Duration: 02minHere's another tune from Francis O'Neill's 'Dance Music of Ireland - 1001 Gems'. My understanding of 'gem' in today's context is a tune without syncopation and notes keeping close company with other notes they don't get on with.

Molly What Ails You? (reel)
21/03/2020 Duration: 01minHere's tune number 652 in O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland. It's the best tune between tunes 651 and 653.

Money in Every Pocket but My Own
08/06/2019 Duration: 01minHere's a tune high in vitamin C. Also called the 'Belfast March', named after a town low in every vitamin. https://thesession.org/tunes/5000

The Church Street polka
07/06/2019 Duration: 01minHere'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

The London Clog
19/05/2019 Duration: 02minHere'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:

The Milky Way (reel)
11/05/2019 Duration: 02minThis reel was made in space for the flute; sorry this effort isn't as out of this world as the title would suggest.

Peg McGrath's reel
10/05/2019 Duration: 01minHere's a tune written by Josie McDermott in honour of Peg McGrath who made one of the nicest flute noises I've ever heard.
-
The Whistling Postman - jig
09/05/2019 Duration: 02minA 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.
-
Jack Rowe - reel
04/05/2019 Duration: 02minHere's a tune I first heard from a recording of John McGuire - Seán's father. The guy in the photo was Jack Rowe - looks like he could blow a flute with the back of his neck. Some feat. Some neck.

The Mount Collins Reel (The Girls of Farranfore)
03/05/2019 Duration: 01minHere's a reel which you can hear Denis Murphy playing at: Mount Collins Reel / Doon Reel. There are special wobbles in the second tune which, according to the info at archive.org, are due to a hole being 'punched slightly off-center'. I'd imagine that could cause a wobble or two right enough. Here are some notes: https://thesession.org/tunes/4026
