Irish Flute Tunes

Here’s another request.  I’m afraid I didn’t recognise the name of the tune so I looked it up in www land.  It sort of sounds familiar; mouth organs spring to mind (if that’s a thing they can do) and by the end of the tune I thought I maybe knew the start.  The version is at the mercy of whoever put it on the internet and whether he or she has the use of a reliable set of ears.

Here’s a tune I was asked to play.  I’m sorry it took me so long getting round to it.  There are a few other tune requests that I’m currently in the process of taking even longer over.

I played a three part version at the end of this recording.  I’ve heard three parts from a few people, one being Paddy Canny.  My problem regerding part 3 may be that in fact Paddy can whereas I canny play it but I thought I’d try anyway.

I was asked to post this tune and am grateful to have been asked.  I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it myself.  The setting here may be a bit dodgy but that may help to take the bad look off some of the other tunes I have played recently.

I have another reel which I’ve been asked to play but I think I’ll need to excavate a particular tape recording before I can chance the second half of it.  I’m off now to look for a shovel.

Here’s another Martin Wynne thing. I’m not sure where I learned it but it seems to have been hovering about in quite a few places. If I can think of MW3 I’ll have a got at it too.

I was asked ages ago to play this tune.  I’m sorry it took so long but I always got distracted any time I set about playing it.

I think this is the number two variety of Martin Wynne reel.  I’ll have to get round to recording at least one other so as to bring about a Wynne Wynne situation.

I can’t think of anything to write about this reel so

I can’t promise that this tune will provoke as enthusiastic a reaction in other people as it did in Bess. Maybe she didn’t get out much. I think it’s a decent tune all the same which maybe doesn’t get out enough either.
