Ashley MacIsaac

Does anyone know what tunes Ashley MacIsaac is playing after Tullochgorum on Live at the Savoy?

Re: Ashley MacIsaac

The one after is Sheehan's reel, I'm not sure what the second reel is, then it's West Mabou reel.

I don't think West Mabou is on here. If you need the notes, send me your email address and I'll send it.

I just added an ABC for West Mabou -- http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/7980/
Based on the Alasdair Fraser and Tony McManus do a great version in a long strathspey and reel set on The Road to Kintail. I don't have a copy of the Ashley live album in question...is it a good one?

It's not my favorite Ashley album, but if you are a fan of his playing definitely worth the $$.

Re: Ashley MacIsaac

Thanks everyone! I don't have the whole album, just that one track. I'm managing to squeeze Tullochgorum into my senior viola recital (an odd place for it, perhaps), so I grabbed this off of iTunes to get a feel for how different fiddlers approach the tune, and also what goes well after it. I like the track and his playing in general.
