Patrick Ourceau plays two Paddy Fahey reels on the Geantrai DVD.
The first is The New Road, can anyone tell me what the second one is? There seems to be a lot of tunes just called Paddy Fahey's in the tune list here and I'm not sure how to do a search having no ABC knowledge.
Thanks
As someone wiser than me will no doubt tell you shortly, Paddy Fahey did not name his reels. Any reels of his that have names were named by someone else. Or that's what I understand anyway.
I have a recording of someone (maybe Fahey himself) playing a lot of his tunes. Introduced by a woman: "Paddy Fahey's Reel #1" etc...
Not just the reels, either. And the numbers have to be taken with a grain of salt, too. The liner notes to the Siobhan Peoples / Murty Ryan album say something like: "I phoned Fahey to check on the name of this tune. He said, 'You can call it Paddy Fahey's #9 if you like....or #10.'"
So here's an incentive to learn ABC and how to do searches.
