Cregg's Pipes
"This three part version of Cregg's Pipes was recorded by the Flanagan Brothers in New York in 1927. It includes a part which is common with the opening part in "The Coalminer", another of the "big" Flanagan reels."
This is what Paul Brock says about this version of the reel on his 'Mo Chairdin' LP.

Lunasa
I like how Lunasa plays this tune, it's very beautiful and calming, especially the chords they use in the third phrase.

Not at all like Joanie Madden version
The sheet music here is nothing like the version of The Level Plain on Song of the Irish Whistle CD by Joanie Madden. Any one know how I can get the Joanie Madden version or why the difference? Thanks.

I'm not sure how Greig's Pipes was given this name, as the only tune I have heard with this name is the tune I posted above, I thought this tune used to be on this data base but now cannot be found.

Lunasa version
Does anyone have Lunasa's setting? Or can anyone tell me how I could get said setting?
