The first tune is actually called “Reel For Grace”. It is a composition of fluter Mike McGoldrick, written for whistle player Grace Kelly. It is often given this incorrect title due to the fact that, while performing the tune on the TG4 program “The Full Set”, he called the tune just that when asked by the host what the title was. He was simply having a bit of fun with the host. He also plays it as “Jig For Grace” before the reel.
