One of the very great reels from the only Fisherstreet's recording "out in the night", music from Co Clare. My favorite.

A Sean Ryan composition

Duplicate entry. See:: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/6465

Certainly not. This is a reel, not a jig.

For sure it's a problem. In the case of Paddy Fahy for ex. who never named his tunes, people can believe he wrote only one tune in his life!

Anyway I should not have posted it with all the versions already here... but I did not find it on the advanced tab. sorry sorry

Well, finally I think that if not the best I've heard, that version is quite natural, and maybe also the most played in most places.
But as usual, I don't have the truth.

The Silver Slipper

In Ceol Rince na hEireann vol 5 from Denis Murphy, who may have known it from Paddy Killoran. Not a Seamus Connolly or Sean Ryan composition in any case.
