My favourite flute reel. Will tell more later. Any one have a proper name for it ?

Missed opportunity....
Kenny, I was speaking to Mich a couple of days back - he told me that at a session in Copenhagen, he heard a couple of musicians from the North of Ireland playing this tune - the bad news is, he didn't ask them the name of the tune...

Rings a bell...
Would it be off a Battlefield Band album? Anthem ftcm, perhaps?
Lovely tune though.

This is my favourite flute reel ever. I heard it played at the Lorient festival in Brittany in 1983, as a flute duet by I think Deirdre Collis’s father and uncle. Great old-style Sligo flute playing, quite like Kevin Henry’s style. I’ve never heard the tune played or recorded anywhere since, and no one I’ve tried it out on has recognised it yet, far less come up with a title for it. I’m very happy to give it its’ original name if someone can identify it, but I don’t want to add it to the legion of “Gan Ainms”.
Nothing to do with "Battlefield Band" recordings , Danny, as far as I recall.
