Dublin reel

Dublin reel

Does anyone know of a good album that has a good version of the 5- part Dublin reel?
Th first part starts like this:

F# E D E F# A(roll)

Re: Dublin reel

I assume you mean the Graf Spee http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/581. I can recommend the version on Dervish's Playing With Fire. It's good because they play it in C first, and then take it up a notch to D.

Oh and the Molloy/Peoples/Brady is a given, obviously.

Track 1 The Graf Spey on Padraic O Reilly's new CD - "Highly Strung". Great tune!

Re: Dublin reel

So how does it suddenly become "The Dublin Reel" ? 2 distinctly separate tunes it seems to me.

Yes I was confused but didn't like to say.

Re: Dublin reel

Also, I think PJ Hernon plays it as part of an accordion solo on one of Shaskeens albums. Well, it's some box player anyway.

Martin Hayes plays it on "Under the Moon" and I also have a recording of some ceili band playing the tune (I think it may be the Bridge Ceili Band).

Re: Dublin reel

I've heard several different versions of the Dublin Reel, but never come across a 5-part version. Here's a 4-part version in G major: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2269

Re: Dublin reel

a slowish version, for learning purposes, comes at the end of planxty's, "three drunken maidens"

Re: Dublin reel

Planxty used to follow "Three Drunken Maidens" with "The Foxhunter's", not the "Dublin". Unless they changed it over the years, but I'm pretty sure that's what they recorded.

Re: Dublin reel

Sure, they've all been played in Dublin at some time or other.
