Does anyone have any good 4 part reels and jigs? It can be more than 3, but not less. Thanks!

Plenty... Lark in the Morning - 4 part jig Humors of Ballylaughlin - 4 part jig Trim the Velvet - 4 part reel High Road to Linton - 4 part reel what exactly are you looking for?

I wanted something thats a little bit unusual, like not played a lot, but that has been around for a while and isn't new. Thanks!
Oh yeah, it has to be a traditional Irish tune and kind of hard!

The Jig of (ethnic) Slurs is a good one. The key change puts some zip into it.

The Kilfenora McSwiney's Dr.O'Neill's Agree with Max though, the Colonel is the Man....

The Boys of Malin--not too hard (on fiddle anyway) but it "sounds" hard.

Why don't you just get some two parters you like and stick 'em together?

Oh, Kitty O'Shea is a great 7 part hornpipe. Not a jig or reel, but still a great tune. Kevin Burke plays it on his "In Concert" album. -Max

I've been avoiding learning more than two-part tunes, but I really need to learn Lucy Campbell, Miss Ramsay, and Sound of Sleat. They are really great tunes. P.S. Thanks fiddlecrazy for the awesome link.

Hey fiddle11 Ye'd not be wanting to use this to show off a little, now would ye. Dave
# Posted on February 22nd 2004 by showaddydadito
No, I need a good tune for a competition and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions!
# Posted on February 23rd 2004 by fiddle11
In that case, Jenny's Welcome to Charlie might be the smokinest fiddle tune ever... what's that, four parts?
# Posted on February 23rd 2004 by darinkelly
All my favourites already been mentioned except for: Trip to Durrow (3 part reel) The Atholl Highlanders (4 part jig) An Phis Fluich (The Choice Wife - 5 part slip jig)
# Posted on February 23rd 2004 by Toni Ribas
If you want a good set, try this one I've recently "put together": Come West Along the Road Kitty in the Lane The Yellow Tinker, sounds great on the flute played briskly but with a flowing pace, with a momentary pause between each change. danny
