First Century Reel
This tune was played by Ruby Meeks and I think he may have written it.
It's transcribed from some old notes I had on file from a workshop I attended over 20 years ago. I don't know who gave the workshop - it was at a festival in England - and I haven't got a recording at the moment to check this for accuracy.
A great fiery tune though.

I'm positive it was written by Rudy, has been recorded up in Shetland, you could poss access the recordings. Thanks, NSJ

I've got a tunebook I picked up in Canada which credits Rudy Meeks as the author. Willie Hunter has recorded it and it seems to be well known to Shetland musicians
