In our effort to bring more groovy reels in, here's the one that we've twice called "that one on the Lunasa CD that the guitar player wrote". And we've only played it in bits and pieces at that. This transcription seems more of an approximation, but here you go:
1st August
And more slip jigs that got played Saturday night:
Hardiman the fiddler
A Fig for a Kiss
And if anyone knows of a video clip of the Lunasa set that includes that Fleur de Mandragore tune, could you please post it?
And some of those neat Breton tunes with them extra beats in 'em

Tunes of the week
Here`s a few that came out nicely:
- Hunter`s House, a classic by Ed Reavy, pobably his most popular tune.
- 6/8 du Petit Sarny by Eric Favreau.
- The Tailor's Thimble which we played a lot in Vancouver at the Heather. I think we got this one from O'Neill's and from a visting concertina player from England called Andrea. There is an old Scottish jig called The Banks of Allen which this is based upon.

Thanks everyone for making it over to the dark depths of Adams Road for the session last night - somehow you all made our freezing house toasty for the first time in weeks! Many great tunes were played that I of course didn't write down any of the names of....so if anyone did make some notes, could you put them up here? Also, someone left a hat here - I think Hugh. Does anyone know how to get a hold of him?
