You know, you can never get enough of Paddy Fahy.. So here's another one!

That's right! It's NOT from the Skye Collection! Tomorrow is a different story...

So I got this from Chulrua's AWESOME and BRILLIANT album "Barefoot on the Altar". I love this reel, it's followed by a different setting of the Butterfly as well, I may post the variation in the tune's comment section. Highly reccomend the album by the way, especially with Tim Britton's haunting solo and playing style in general. Damn sexy!

Cheers and Sn0o0oo00o0ow,
Armand

I have a recording of this, performed by a London youth group, Meitheal Ceol. They call it 'The F Reel', since they originally learned it in F (or G-dorian). However, owing to the large number of flute players in the band, it was transposed up a tone. They still call it 'The F reel'.

Paddy Fahy's

Isn't this the "hidden" Paddy Fahy reel which Matt Molloy plays at the end of a song on "After The Break" by "Planxty" ? There was some query about it last year, and I'd promised to post it, but forgot. Thanks for posting this, Armand. Far more appropriate to this website than anything from the "Skye Collection".-
I have a feeling Molloy might have played it in F, too.

Usually played in F

It is indeed the Paddy Fahy reel that Matt Molloy plays on some Planxty recording.
I also have a live bootleg recording of Matt Molloy where he plays this one (in F, of course) after "The Tempest". Mighty, altogether.
The F version is reel #720 in my collection www.norbeck.nu/abc
