The Mohill Reel
At the time of writing, a search under this name won't find you another transcription, but I have found one as Gan Ainm @ http://www.irishtunes.net/reels/sionatune.html. I got this tune from some friends at my local session, and Mohill was the title they gave me. This 3-part tune has echoes of The New Policeman/Belles Of Tipperary http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/769 and also The Steeplechase/Carrigaline/Hard Road To Travel http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2281 and http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1461.

"Cronin's Reel" ~ 32 bars & another relative
Cronin's bears some resemblance to the A & B parts of this tune... While a family member it is distinct enough that it may deserve a place of its own...

How did you get there? ~ YES! ~ I've been doing a search and I'm just slow. I already knew the "Cronin's" relationship to the one I just posted, but I felt it was distinct enough that I didn't want to put it in the comments... Expect it soon though...
