Mike Rafferty tunes
I went to the Catskills Irish Week the past July and took a flute class from Mike Rafferty. Wow, what an experience! He taught us lots of great tunes, but he didn't know the names of quite a few of them. Below I've listed the tunes that I don't have names for. They're all sound clips, all played by Mike, recorded on my H2. Unfortunately we were stuck in the front parlor of a hotel and you can hear every vehicle go by outside. But you can still hear the tune clearly enough. If anyone knows the names of any of these tunes that would be very helpful. I like to know the names of the tunes I'm playing!
Thanks!
Dinny Delaney's (Hornpipe)
An Buachaill Dreoite (The One After Kilcooley Woods)
This is what Mike called it.
The Swallow's Nest (The Stolen Reel)
Again, this is what Mike called it. He said it has a different title but he stole this one from another musician, hence the name.
The Five Mile Chase
Bill McEvoy's No.1
Lilies in the Field
The Maids of Tulla
The Trip to the Cottage
I figured out what jig number 1 was.
The Maid on the Green
Anthony Frawley's
Dinny Delaney's (Reel)
Larkin's Beehives
*Edit:
I'll leave these tunes up for a little while longer for anyone who wants to listen but I'll eventually delete them from my box cause it's kind of full. If you'd like me to send you any of these files send me a PM and I'll be happy to do so.

Hi Tiff,
I sat in on his afternoon class the last couple of days - if you were in that one, I remember you.
I think Unknown Jig 4 is Anthoney Frawley's (I thought I heard him say "Anthony's Frolics", but Catherine McEvoy plays it on her album with the other name).
Unknown tune is Delaney's Reel again (that's what I heard him call it). Some interesting rhythm in there, I remember feeling as lost as everyone else seemed to be as he taught the pieces of it.

The One After Kilcooley Woods is An Buachaill Dreoite. Mary MacNamara plays it on Ceol Na mBan: Clare Women Of Music & Song. She plays a dramatic Fn at the end of the second bar, as does Joe Ryan and Mick O'Brien.
The Stolen Reel is the name Mike gave to The Swallow’s Nest, a Paddy O’Brien tune.

Ahh,
Dinny Delaney's is one of my all time favorites. I had posted a you tube clip of that tune from work and was happy with the way I had played it. Its funny because I learned that tune from Mike but I still like his phrasing better than mine. Of course, He is Mike Rafferty and Im not.
I wonder if that has anything to do with it!

Hi Ben. Nice to hear from you! Yep, I was in that afternoon class and I remember you! Too bad you didn't play along with us in class but it was a nice little session outside afterward.akfluter wrote:Hi Tiff,

Thanks for the names of the tunes. That hornpipish-version of Delaney's was a bit confusing at the time but listening to it after that day it made more sense. We all struggled with that one, didn't we! Oh, welcome to the board!
Thanks David! I remember that Mike mentioned The Stolen Reel was a Paddy O'Brien tune but he couldn't remember the name.David Levine wrote:The One After Kilcooley Woods is An Buachaill Dreoite.

Yeah, that is my absolute favorite TV show!deisman wrote:Wow - how cool you got to take a class from Mike. I'm a fan of his. Love your avatar by the way... When I look at it I hear Carol's infectious laugh again.
It's a great tune. I watched your youtube video, Josh, and your phrasing is quite different from Mike's. More flowing or something. But I like them both. And no one is Mike Rafferty except Mike Rafferty!joshD wrote:Dinny Delaney's is one of my all time favorites.

I think you are right about it being the beehive
