Mulcahy Family

Yet another great tune from the Mulcahy Family CD. There's another John Blessing's on this site but quite a different tune.

Charlie Harris

This looks very like one of "De Danann's" "Charlie Harris's" reels. Isn't it here already, possibly under a different name ?

Charlie Harris'

Emily mailed me this tune a few days ago and I told her to post it but she completely ignored me

It's already here in the form of a polka, but I haven't seen the reel version here yet. Maybe I've just missed it.

A lovely reel Kiwi - like so many others such as Jim Donohues, the Mountain Road, etc it's often the simplest of tunes that sound most effective.

Creamer's

I'm pretty sure this is also known as "Creamer's" reel. Desi Wilkinson and Neil Martin played it under that title on "Cran's" 1st CD, the 3rd reel in a whistle duet on "Clarke's C" whistles.
I think also the MacNamara family from Leitrim recorded it under that title.

Sorry

Ignore that. Too early in the morning - "Creamer's " is the other Charlie Harris' reel.
