I was asked to post this on Youtube. Eddie Corcoran was a guest player on Seamus Tansey's first LP recording released in 1970. The recordings were made in 1967.
Seamus very generously gave him a couple of solo tracks, including this Ed Reavy reel, which deserves to be better known and played more.

Thank you Kenny. Nice whistle playing and a Reavy tune you don't often hear (I never have, in fact!).

It has been doing the rounds on the sly for years. I learned it long ago from Seamus and Manus McGuire's recording of it and had it sitting nicely on the pipes.
Eleanor Kane was, under her married name, the Eleanor Neary who played the piano on many great recordings. One of the few who played the melody on the right hand.

See here, if you are into that sort of thing.

Lovely. There's also one on the first Coleman archive cd, playing Kitty in the lane with Paddy Killoran. Bit on the quick side perhaps. Have heard others that I can't think of right now.
