The Solstice Reel
This Canadian reel was written by Jason Little. I use it for playing for Canadian Step for Chequered Flag who are a dance team based in Portsmouth U.K.

Sweet tune - I first heard it on "The Blue Lamp", which features the fiddle playing of Jonny Hardie (Old Blind Dogs) & Gavin Marwick.
Jason Little is from New Hampshire. He played a bunch (guitar?) with Cape Breton fiddler Harvey Tolman, and published a collection of tunes from Tolman's repetoire called "Scottish and Cape Breton Fiddle Music in New Hampshire".

Summer or Winter?
Does anyone know which Solstice is intended here?

The version I know is a tad different; weird offbeats and ties and that sort of goings on. (Your version is more straight forward, but mine is more interesting.) I don't know how to group it clearly, but here goes:
X: 1
T: Solstice, The
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
R: reel
K: Fmaj
