Miss Wallace (reel)

From the fiddle and flute duet playing of Kevin Moloney and Sean Moloney. Kevin was one of the original members of Ballinakill Traditional Players together with his father Stephen Moloney and Tommy Whelan. Sean is Kevin's nephew and a son of legendary E. Galway flute player, Eddie Moloney.

On their recording, this tune is played with Miss Johnson and Miss Thornton.

This version is slightly different from the one in O'Neill's. There are several similar tunes, notably Micho Russell's (aka Sean Reid's Fancy): http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/2509

Moving Bogs

I have no doubt this is already on the site under what is the more usual name these days, "The Moving Bogs."

Wrong

You're quite wrong there, "blarneystar". "The tunes titled "The Moving Bog[s]" posted here are nothing like this, unless I missed something.
Good man for posting this , "slainte". I was taught this tune at a Willie Clancy flute class in the mid 80s by P.J.Crotty RIP]. He recorded it on the CD with the Cullinanes a few years ago. It does bear similarities to quite a few other reels in "G". A fine flute tune, which I must start playing again.

Hmm.....

Maybe an apology due to "blarneystar" - it is very like the "Moving Bogs" I know, - but nothing like the "Moving Bogs" posted here by Gian Marco. Like "blarneystar", I would have thought that tune to have been posted here already, but maybe not, and that would be surprising, unless it's lurking under a different name.
I think PJ's version was more like the version in "O'Neill's" than the Moloney's version as posted here by "slainte". I'll hunt out PJ' s playing of it in the Miltown class, and post it as an alternative, because there are some differences. Sorry, "blarneystar".

Moving Titles

No problem Kenny. Tune titles move around a lot, probably because musicians remember both titles and tunes but often can't recall which goes with which.
