This is a reel written by my chum Jason's dad. Mr Lester (snr) is an accomplished musician living in Spain , and wrote and presented Jason with this reel. We first gave it an airing (we play fiddle) at our weekly session/folk club just before Christmas, when Jason's dad was across here visiting Yorkshire.
I enjoy it very much, and asked whether I could post it to share on the fine website.
I play it with a couple of variations as follows:

If the string-hopping in bars B5 and B7 is a bit much at speed, playing just the 'main' notes with an A-drone works fine
eg B5 becomes f2 g2 a2 b2 with an A- drone
