Does anyone know which “Martin Wynne” the Bothy Band did in their famous set “A Jig and Five Reels”? I have come across several reels by that name but none matches what the group actually is playing? Any help? An ABC file?
Here it is in ABC format… (note to self - disable smileys)
X:1
T:Martin Wynne’s #1
C:Martin Wynne (1914-98)
R:reel
D:Bothy Band: Out of the Wind, Into the Sun

I believe the first bar is more usually given as
A~F3 G~E3
(or AFFF GEEE if you will)
Thanks. I realized my problem: I was listening to Rip the Calico and trying to find the music under the title of Martin Wynne’s. No wonder they don’t match!
It’s Paddy Keenan’s pipe solo on Calico that so intrigued me. (Actually the flute is playing along so that would be a duet, eh?) I think it would sound fabulous on low whistle.
