I’m sure some would find it easier to pick a star out of the sky, but what are some of your favorite tunes (Irish Trad or otherwise)? Or what tunes do you enjoy the most to play in a session?
I’m still learning tunes, so I don’t know a lot of names, but I like The Ivy Leaf and The Mountain Road.
Banish Misfortune
Garret Barry’s
Lark in the morning
Hardiman the Fiddler, O’Farrell’s Welcome to Limerick, The Boy in the Gap, The Girl in the Big House
I like McMahon’s (the Banshee), and the Christmas Eve, and most any other tune that relies heavily on a pentatonic scale. Loads of fun!

Most of them are my favorite.
Currently working on:
The Wedding Reel (Donald Shaw)

These three make a good set. 
I’m in for:

Providence reel- first on the fiddle and then to pipes
Girl of the House since I know someone down here who plays it on banjo
Frieze britches
On the learning to do block
Crooked road to Dublin
Queen of the rushes
The Mountain Road Reel was the first reel that I learned 25 years ago on fiddle. I still play it all the time. Now I have to learn it on the pipes. I’ve only been playing for 3 months so I stuck to jigs and an air.
Nice tunes, SP, I love the Glen Road to Carrick. One day I will learn it…Southwest Wind is one of my favorites, too. I see the Sporting Pitchfork is not on your list though?
