The Kilfrush Reel
more or less as played by Tommy Reck. I learned this tune from Nollaig Mac Carthaigh at the willie week in approx. 1990

The Kilfrush Reel
This reel is in Ceol Rince na hEireann, Volume 1 under the title of Maids of Tipperary, from the playing of Sean Potts (pipes). The index of that volume also shows alternate titles of Bumper Allen's Delight and Tom the Fisherman.

Kilfrush ?
So where in Ireland (presumably) is Kilfrush ?

Sorted!
Ignore me - it's in Limerick.

This is a single reel as it gets played in our session. It's too repetitive as a double.
