Irish Flute Tunes

Kiss me Kate (reel)

March 22nd, 2008 at 11:45 am (traditional irish flute)

Here’s a common reel. I thought I’d probably have played this one already but I didn’t see it on the site. Maybe I called it by another name (”don’t kiss me Kate” perhaps).

I hope this version is OK. My recall facility for tunes has been a bit vague lately.

Paddy Fahy’s Reel (1)

March 14th, 2008 at 9:44 am (traditional irish flute)

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.

The Finnish Polka

March 8th, 2008 at 6:45 pm (traditional irish flute)

This is yet another tardy response to a request to record a tune. I’m delighted to be asked to play specific tunes as it saves me having to think them up for myself.

I had to look this one up on the internet as I didn’t know it. I hope my dot to note transfer has allowed the tune to arrive without being too scathed.

I think this tune is in B minor. My bad spelling allows me to think of digging in the ground for stripy, stingy things (stingy as in needle-arsed rather than tight arsed) but that’s neither here nor there in the context of this tune.

(Sorry for using the ‘a’ word).
