Great playing. I know the second tune as “The Old High Reel”, or alternatively “The Beehive”, the “High Reel” I know is a different tune, which is also called “Duffy the Dancer”.
Greetings from Luxembourg,
Absolutely great stuff. Loved to play along on my Bodhran with John Whelan and all the others. Enjoyed it.
