Reel Of Bogie
This is the "Reel Of Bogie" which I learned from Roy Gullane of the "Tannahill Weavers" in the early 70s, before they turned exclusively to Scottish traditional music. This version [ more or less ]has been recorded by the "Kilfenora Ceili Band". A very similar version has been recorded by Paddy O'Brien, and is in O'Neill's, so it's been around under that name for a long time, and certainly pre-dates "The Reel Of Rio".

The Reel Of Bogie
What kind of music were they playing in the early 70's?

Tannies
Mainly Irish - this was even before the 1st LP, after which they brought the pipes in, and it's been Scottish ever since.

Different version
I was listening to the ceili band competitions on Ceili House and heard this tune, though it was a version that was comparably different than one posted here, especially the A-part, hence the transcription below.
Fiddler Tony deMarco plays it more or less the same way (with lots of variations) on "My Love is in America" and adds a special touch to the first part by playing the c#'s slightly flat (I think). This gives the tune a haunting, modal feel to it that I associate with older fiddle players.

Oops... I didn't notice that the YouTube version of this is already posted. But maybe it's a good idea to link these to the Comhaltas website instead of YouTube.

YES!!!
Note: I have a perscription for those glasses, in case of any impending threat...
