I'm an old pal of Peter from his tenor banjo days. Spoke to him by cell phone in kalmar a while ago. He used to have a tune he called "Santa's Pub Crawl" which I learned once but have lost. Any chance of you posting that, if you have it?

More of Peter's tunes
I think I have 2 of Peter's tunes transcribed from an RTE programme he did, several years ago. Fine tunes, but not what you would call "flute-friendly". I'll have a hunt for them.
I met Peter and had a few tunes with him a few weeks back at the Copenhagen Festival. A fine player.

Peter's Tunes
Kenny, why not put themup, if Peter doesn't mind. I was astounded at the very high quality of Danish and Swedish musicians playing Irish trad when I first visited Scandinavia in 1979. There weren't all that many of them, but they were all really good and most of the ones I met then as young men in their early 20s are still playing today in their late 40s.

OK
I'll do that, "Longnote". I definitely have 1 great reel that Peter composed, but there is 1 other tune I want to post before that, for a very good reason. I'll do it by the end of the week. While we're speaking of Irish music in Denmark, did you ever hear of "The John Wayne Memorial Ceili Band" ? I saw a photo of them once in a Copenhagen Festival programme. They had a full life-size cardboard cut-out of "The Duke". Great craic! I'm sure Mich would know who was involved in that, I must ask him.

Former Member
I am a former member of that band and had a hand in the naming of it. I can't recall if we ever had the cut-out when I was playing in it. The JWMCB was just a customary end-of-festival assembling on stage of various members of the performing bands for a grand finale of tunes. By the way, the JW was revived this year for the Irish festival in Kalmar in Sweden (the weekend before the Copenhagen festival) by the organizer Jorgen "Dudde" Astner, himself a great banjo and box player. I was supposed to be MCing the Kalmar Festival and doing a flute workshop, but couldn't get away. Just as well, because with that brain-dead eejit Bush back in, I might not have come back to the US. Maybe next year.
