Re: Ernestine Healy on Concertina with a Selection of Reels
Sorry Jim, I can't help you with a name for the second reel on the clip - there's no mistaking the first though as the Pigeon has to be one of the most universal tunes going. For anyone who enjoys Ernestine's playing (and I think that has to be most of us) she's featured playing some jigs at http://comhaltas.ie/music/detail/comhaltaslive_239_2_ernestine_healy_concertina_and_fionnuala_rooney_harp/. The first one, which goes without a name, was once recorded by Stockton's Wing and may have been written by Maurice Lennon and Kieran Hanrahan. It's a fantastic tune and is deserving of a name so hopefully some of you experts out there may be able to help!
Re: Ernestine Healy on Concertina with a Selection of Reels

Re: Ernestine Healy on Concertina with a Selection of Reels
Brilliant, I loved both sets, thanks for these treats for the ears. I had to chase up the jigs elsewhere as the Comhaltas link doesn't seem to be working...
Sorry Jim, I don't know the reel but may give it some time and transcribe it to see if I can chase up a name for you later...

Re: Ernestine Healy on Concertina with a Selection of Reels
I have seen that there is a tune, a reel, with the title "Ernestine Healy's"?

Re: Ernestine Healy on Concertina with a Selection of Reels
"Ernestine Healy's" ~ nope!, sorry, I just chased it up, it's a jig...
# Posted on March 8th 2008 by ceolachan
It's almost more like a Planxty...

It;s called Azel. She wrote it herself.
