Q: tune name

Is there another name for the tune “Dorothy’s reel” in the Heather Clark tutor?

Thx!

I think you mean “Doherty’s Reel”?

I can’t remember the tune she called by this name, can you post a line or two of abc?

If its the reel that Bill (and I) think you mean, from the Red Book, its also more commonly known as “Killarney Boys” or “Killarney Boys of Pleasure”.

There’s a load of Doherty’s reels I think… Johnny, Mickey and God-knows who else…

Confusing, eh?

Thanks Bill and Boyd!

I was looking for the score and some fiddle recordings of this tune for a friend so I have someone to play it with, but my search came up with nothing.
Now we know why :blush:

Doherty’s, Doherty’s, Doherty’s, Doherty’s, Doherty’s … Doherty’s :wink:

Cheers!
