Here's my valedictory effort for the evening. This is a barndance which the Sligo fiddle player, James Morrison, made popular through a great recording he made of it years ago.
It's a nice melodic creation and it suits flute players' sensibilities as well.

I'm starting to run out of names. I don't know how the tunes will hold out but I'll maybe give up at Ríl Gan Ainm (202).
In the meantime, here's a good reel which is really a fiddle tune. Bits of the second part would normally be an octave lower but hopefully this setting works OK on the flute. If anyone knows a name for this tune, I'd be interested to hear it.

Here's a very popular slip jig. I think it was composed by the Dublin flddle player, Tommy Potts. It's been decomposed and recomposed a few times since over the years.
It's a good tune for the flute and hopefully shouldn't cause people too many difficulties in playing.

This is another popular tune - named after the great Co. Galway box player.

This is an entirely rhetorical question at this stage.
Willie Clancy probably would have known more about it. It's a good tune in any case, I hope.

Here's a barndance. I haven't been in a barn for a long time but I hear that the dancing is great in them.
(I think this tune may be called "Connolly's Barndance". Here it is in a different key: http://irishflute.podbean.com/2008/08/08/connollys-barndance/ ).
