Thanks, Gian Marco. I was just thinking about requesting the tune. Paul Smyth and Michael Cooney's flute and pipes duet is superb!

Lovely reel - great melody!

This tune is one of three that Kevin Burke got from the harmonica-playing Murphy family of Wexford (?). He recorded them together with the Murphy's as The Raheen Medley. This tune is, I think, the last in the set. The second is The Trip to Cullenstown, http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2996, and the first is a tune in A-dorian, for which I do not have a name, and which does not seem to have been posted here yet. I will post it if anyone can give me a name for it.

The raheen

Hi, i learned the tune the raheen reel from the playing of Pip Murphy from County Wexford. Its a composition of his father's - Phil. The notation here is of a different tune which Phil and his sons play in a set with it - this one was recorded by Karen Tweed, as far as i know, as the Raheen.

The Raheen which is on my own recording, and the one Phil Murphy wrote is:

CABG A-AB CABG AGEF G-GF GABC dBGB d-dB
CABG A-AB CABG AGEF GABd g-ge dBGB A -

eaag a-ag edef gddg edef g-gf edef gedg
eaag a-ag edef gddg edef g-ge dBGB A--

Sorry i don't usually write out tunes like that! it might be of interest to some people.
