Fleadh Tunes Needed Urgently!!

Fleadh Tunes Needed Urgently!!

Hi,
Just figured out how to post a discussion!Anyway im entering the upcoming Leitrim Fleadh (26th april) in Drumsna and its my first year in the senior fiddle....im in need of some nice tunes and would greatly appriciate any suggestions!
My ideas so far were
Jig: Paddy Fahy's (cbc 'dcb cge ,ceg....etc)
Hornpipe: Lad O'Beirnes
Reel: O'Dowds Favourite
Im thinking about having a lash at the flute and harp also so if you've any ideas stick them in too!!

Thanx a mil!

The Windmill is a nice tune I'm learning on flute right now. Tricky, but lovely.
