Glory Reel
Played with Heathery Cruach on Island Angel...

I learned this tune from the same source given here. I'm pretty sure Altan is playing a D sharp in the first bar of the B part, a la:
|gagf e^def|
Both the Glory Reel and Heathery Cruach are predominantly northern tunes, so we play 'em with mostly short, punchy single bow strokes.

Will, I agree with you about the D#, although I think you probably meant to say the C part.

There doesn't seem to be any D notes in the Cpart - don't you mean C#s ?

Kenny, Altan plays the first bar of the C part as:
|gagf e^def|
and that d sharp--in tandem with the switch to c sharp too--gives the tune a nice wild edge (and drives backers in our session here absolutely nuts).
