Hello, I'm looking for the name of the reel that comes after Maud Millar on Frankie Gavin's Fierce Traditional CD. A friend of mine recorded these two tunes for me to learn but he didn't know the name of the second. I have the CD and Frankie doesn't reveal the name anywhere in the notes.
Hello, Joyce,
I only noticed this query yesterday, and you may have solved the mystery by now, but if not - I had a listen to "Maud Miller" on Frankie's "Fierce Traditional". I was sure I'd heard the tune before and thought of John Carty. It's on his "Yeah, That's All It Is" CD, and the title is "Mary O'Neill's Fancy", which is in O'Neill's, #556. He even says on the sleeve notes that it's a version of "Maud Miller". Gian Marco has posted a "Mary O'Neill's" but it's not the same tune.
Recorded in 2001. Frankie Gavin ( fiddle & flute), Brian McGrath (piano & banjos), Alec Finn (bouzouki) and Sean Gavin (accordion).
