Great reel. Has been associated a lot with the Galway Rambler but is also frequently played after St Anne's. At our session we go for the latter.

London Lasses

A "fundamental" tune for flute players . Never played better than by Conal O'Grada ( after the "Galway Rambler" - as Bannerman suggests).
