i learnt this reel from the playing of liz carroll on her cd 'lost in the loop' although she plays it down one string (starting on A) and reverses the parts. it can make a striking key change from a major tune or otherwise.

very confusingly similar to this other reel (‘the Kerry reel’):

(I first heard both tunes off Kevin Burke's recordings, that other one appears on If the Cap Fits)
