A fine French-Canadian tune that is played in my session.
We usually play it after Spootiskerry.

Reel de Montreal

The first part of this tune is identical, give or take a note or two, to a hornpipe I play called The Donegal Hornpipe. I learnt it in the fifties So what's new?

This tune's a bit like a composite of the James Hill hornpipe "The Navvie On The LIne" http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/4376 with the 2nd part of the Bluebell Polka http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/3352.

Le Reel de Sherbrooke -- one of the other names

I do know this tune as "Reel de Sherbrooke" -- it is such a great one as well. But there is another fine tune called "Glise de Sherbrooke" (that is also often called "Reel de Sherbooke"). I believe they are two different as I play both of them -- here is a link to what I call the "Glise" but here named the "Reel" by Mr. Jody Kruskal (certainly he is much more knowledgeable than I but still there is plenty of evidence of the name confusion)

Also here is a video of me trying to play Glise:
