Hi Michael ... I think the second reel is Jean’s Reel, which, as I recall, I heard played by Phil Cunningham in a set that went Jackson’s/Jean’s Reel/The Moving Cloud.

Absolutely lovely playing; an inspiration. Thank you so much to Orla, her family, and to Comhaltas for posting it!  :-)

Lovely, Orlaith. I admire your iron nerves as well as all the cuts, rolls, crans, etc.

Brilliant!  This internet is great.  Lovely to be able to hear you play - from across the water.  See you over the Summer Hols.
