Moloney's Reel?

Whistle
1

My question may have slipped under the radar
in the Sean Potts thread so a new thread it is.

On Sean Potts’ new CD ‘Number 6’ track 6 has 2 reels
Jackson’s and Moloney’s.

Jackson’s I don’t know but Moloney’s I’ve heard before
but under a different name I think, and I can’t figure it out.
I’ve checked on the session.org and JCtunefinder but
nothing comes up.

If anyone recognises it please let me know as this is driving
me :swear: :smiley:

Thanks in advance

Can you post a brief clip of Moloney’s for ID?

There are actually quite a few. Here’s some:

There are others, such as the one on one of the Mike and Mary Rafferty’s albums. I’ve not heard Sean’s album so I’m not sure which one it is. Do you have the first few notes?

Thanks to Irish Marine for those links :slight_smile:
they were a few of the many dots and tracks I’ve
listened to over the last week.

If there is a copywrite issue with the clip could the Moderator
remove it for me

Thanks

I know that as The Shores of Loughrea. Lovely tune.

PS The Shores of Loughrea seems to be the name of a jig, maybe “Humours of” as per thesession.org is a better bet.

I know it also as The Shores of Lough Reagh, from the Cormac Breatnach recording.

Reminds me that I need to pick up a B whistle for the next tionól B session. There’s always a B session, just to be surly.

Oddly, the Breatnach recording is also in EMaj …

On Casey in the Cowhouse, a jig otherwise known as Castletown Connors is named the Shores of Loughrea. Maybe we should split Humours and Shores and call the reel the Hoors of Loughrea?

:astonished: :laughing:

Or the Schumers …? That’s a New York joke.

Hi,

I knew it was familiar but couldn’t find it and there it was
track 1 on Cormac Breathnach’s ‘Music for Whistle & Guitar’ :tomato:
at least I can get sleep now :slight_smile:
it is a lovely tune.

Cheers
