One of my all-time favorites is “The Banshee”. There is something about the B part that just sends me. I love it and never get tired of it.
My favorites change frequently and often. Right now I’d have to say Ward’s Jig, Kid on the Mountain, and Gravel Walk. Oh, and the Battering Ram…love that one, too.

Hey, rama – I found a nice version of Maudabawn Chapel somewhere – sat really nicely on the flute (hey, maybe it was yours!). Anyway, if you want me to track down the source, I’ll be happy to … but perhaps it was irishtunes.net (Devin McCabe’s site)?
Anyhoo, lemme know if you want it.
Ooh, one other favorite – Patsy Hanly’s version of The Killavil jig. Among other things, the long E and G rolls he does in place of BEE BEE (or bEE bEE*) kill me.
Brilliant!!! (and a big THANK YOU to Peter L. and his fellow transcribers!)
*(also brilliant)
