Does anyone have a transcription for the first reel in track 12, called Mcdermot's? I tried to learn it off my recorder at half speed, but some of the phrases are a little vague. I haven't found any tune on the session that sounds similar. Thanks.
This was originally an LP record recorded by the English "Transatlantic" label, around 1975, I think. Pops up in many disguises, often on very cheap CDs, sometimes with the "Glenside" Ceili Band. All of the tunes are listed here somewhere. I'll create "links" for them by the end of the week.
No it ain't. Sorry – wrong McDermott. The “KCB’s” “McDermott’s” reel is Josie McDermott’s “Trip To Birmingham”, but the sheet music posted here under that title is a mess. The tune is in “G” to start with, not “D”. “slainte” and I have both posted “abc” versions in the “comments”. It is also the “Josie McDermott’s” reel which appears on Matt Molloy’s first LP.
I was able to play most of the first jig on track 2, playing at half pace, but I forget how it went. I will try to see if the tune if already posted some during the session. In case anyone else is interested, I found of that "Joys of Love" is the same as "Donnybrook Fair" and "Bridgie McGrath's" is the same as John Kelly's Slide.
Track 12 :
a)- “McDermott’s” = “Josie McDermott’s” / “Trip To Birmingham” http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1787
The sheet music here is inaccurate, to say the least. See “abc” notation in the “Comments”.
Kenny, are you sure about the second jig in track two being a version of Star Above the Garter? It sound more like John Kelly's slide to me.
In addition, I think the first jig in Track 2 is the one transcribed in the comments on Water from the Well recording as the first jig on Track 12 of Water from the Well. I'm not possitive, but it sounds (without listening to that actual tune on Water from the Well) very similar.

Oh, and the third tune is Rip the Calico.

Zina, is it the Connemara Stocking? See this: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2269/comments#comment49080

The older edition of this CD is known as "Irish Traditional Fiddle Music". I have the CD of the older edition, the tunes are the same.

Track 2, the first jig
I was able to play most of the first jig on track 2, playing at half pace, but I forget how it went. I will try to see if the tune if already posted some during the session. In case anyone else is interested, I found of that "Joys of Love" is the same as "Donnybrook Fair" and "Bridgie McGrath's" is the same as John Kelly's Slide.

Kenny, I forgot to say Thanks for identifying these tunes!
# Posted on November 8th 2006 by enirehtac
Correction....
You're quite right, catherine [ I deduce ]. It is indeed "John Kelly's" and not the "Star".

Damn nice work! ~ I wish someone had let me know...
I'd forgot to do the usual searching and linking myself, as happens now and again...
