does anyone have an idea about what the first tune in this four tune set is?
the second is noel hill's, the third glass of beer and the fourth sweeneys dream
great drive throughout in pure tradition anyhow
The track comes from "Boil the Breakfast Early" (http://thesession.org/recordings/display.php/435). The sleeve notes says the tune is called Larry Bedican's, but I'm not sure if it is related with Larry Redican's on "Music at Mat Molloy's."
yeah id seen that but its not the right tune
maybe i should submit it anyway as larry bedicans although it doesnt seem right
was there ever a larry bedican?
Up Against the Bauchalawns is a set of 4 tunes on "The Best of the Chieftains" and "Boil the Breakfast Early," the album from which it was taken. Can anyone tell me what the tunes are in this set? One is Sleepy Maggie, and another, I assume, is Up Against the Bauchalawns itself.
That first tune in this set has caused me some headaches, though I love the tune. First, it was tricky to learn, and second, it was hard to find names for it. I want to share a little of what I learned about it. First, it has several different names. If anyone has other names for this tune, please speak up, I'd like to know other names for it. I understand that "Larry Bedican's" is a typo which appears in the liner notes. It's actually "Redican's."
In "Northern Lights." this tune is given the name of "Reavy's." I have also seen it elsewhere as "Johnny McGreevy's Favorite."
It's known as "The Galway Reel," a classic East Galway style tune. I remember asking Joe Burke about this tune, but I can't remember what he told me. Will Harmon has already submitted this tune here:

It's been disscussed in here already as well:

There may be more, but this is all I had time to find.
