Anyone know this reel
I got it from Deidre, so it could be called Deirdre's reel, unless someone comes up with another name for it.

Solus Lillis
How could it be called Deirdre's reel? You can't just give tunes names willie nilly. It's called Solus Lillis.

Finding tunes name
I strongly recommend this excellent online application called "Tunepal" :

For example: "Solus Lillis' Reel" came on the first position with the ABC you have posted.

Of course you can just give tunes names willie nilly. That's probably how it was called "Solus Lillis" in the first place.
Fifty years ago, Paddy Canny, P Joe Hayes, Peadar O'Loughlin, and Bridie Lafferty named Sean Ryan's "Glen of Aherlow" "Lafferty's" willie nilly. Many people still call it that.

That is bull. No you can't Gary. I detest that attitude. You record a copyright tune and name it whatever you like and see how popular you are with the composer.

Here is just one example of a popular tune that caused a rumpus by being wrongly named. http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/518

I didn't express an attitude; I pointed out that it is possible to do something, which is what the word "can" means. I said nothing about whether it is appropriate to do so. People make up names for existing tunes quite often, and sometimes those names stick. That's all I said.

One of Mama's Pets
Solus Lillis was a Clare concertina player, and this tune was called after him in the first volume of Breathnach's Ceol Rince books. It is one of a large family of tunes, most often called "Mama's Pet," that share a version of the first part. Compare "Timothy Downing's" in O'Neill.
