I've been listening to the Chieftains "Water From the Well" for a long time, now, and I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the first jig on the Kilfenora Set (Track 12).
I have another CD of Irish Music with the same tune, where it's called John Joe's Jig but every abc source I've ever found of that tune is the same as Old Joe's Jig which is NOT the Chieftains' tune. I already know the other tunes are the Concertina Reel and Spindle Shanks.
I've tried learning it by ear, but I'm not very good at it, yet. So far, my only successes in learning by ear have been at sessions where the "teacher" will play slower and go over tricky passages a few times. From CD's I'm not having much luck....
Here's the ABC for the jig that starts the Kilfenora Set
Rzaikoski,
I really like this CD as well. I wasn't able to find the name for the first jig on the Kilfenora Set, but it's still a great tune, and here's a (reasonably accurate) transcription. Thanks for the names of the other tunes on that set!
Cheers,
Doug

Someone emailed me saying they had the tunes that were in tracks 5 and 12 so here you go. Jeremy said the track listing can't be changed to put in the additional links, so I'll just post them here.

I think I've found another source for the jig transcribed above as the Kilfenora Set JIg. It is called John Joe's, and is the first jig on Track 2 of Traditional Irish Fiddle Music, http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/1428. The first part is definitely the same, and I haven't seen whether the second part is the same. However, I believe that at least two fiddlers played on both Traditional Irish Fiddle Music, which is by the Kilfenora Ceili Band, and on Track 12 of Water from the Well. They may have got this jig from the same source.
Chieftains, Live from Matt Molloy's Pub, First tune
Hello all, I'm trying to identify the first tune off the track entitled 'Live from Matt Molloy's Pub' on the chieftains record Water from the well (2000). The last two are Castle Kelly and The Red Haired Lass if I'm not mistaken. Anyone know it off hand? Cheers.

Tunes in the "Dusty Miller" set
Well, none of the tunes in the Dusty Miller track are actually the Dusty Miller slip jig
I did manage to figure out the last two reels, though... they are "Dowd's Number 9" followed by the "Hunter's House".

Can you help with naming the tunes in Track 1?
# Posted on October 15th 2006 by sixholes

Just the one tune - "The Drops Of Brandy" - but played in different rhythms.
# Posted on October 15th 2006 by Kenny
Track 10
There seems to be a slow reel or strathspey right before "The Glen Road to Carrick" Anyone know it? Thanks.

Track 4
2nd tune in track 4 should link to http://thesession.org/tunes/display/720 which a reel, rather than to the jig of the same name.

Water from the Well, information on Track 12

Track 5
Here's the link to the first tune in this set:
http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/4323
It's the same 'Dusty Miller' as on Lunasa's 'The Merry Sisters of Fate', though a slightly different setting.
# Posted on September 6th 2008 by mrkelahan
Anyone know what the tunes are in 'The Galician set' which is track 4 of the DVD 'Live over Ireland/Water from the Well'?
nb my query relates to the DVD, not this CD, but the DVD includes many of the tunes on the CD (id that makes sense!)

Re: Chieftains, Live from Matt Molloy's Pub, First tune
This is the set that got me hooked on Irish music.
Fred Finn's is a regular at our session because of this set. Thanks for posting the utube link - I'd never seen it before. Great stuff.
