To kick things off - I'm working on "The Four Courts" played by Tommy Martin off The Cobblestones CD and "The Dear Irish Boy" played by Willie Clancy off "The Minstrel From Clare" CD.

Jig called "The Callender" and "Walk Out Of It Hogan"
Francie Donelly's Reel
Hicks Hornpipe
Peter Street Reel

I'm working on the 5 part version of Lord Gordon's. It's just a generic setting that should work in a session. I haven't heard any recorded versions of this tune in which a piper plays all 5 parts. McKeon does 4 parts and I think Ennis did 2 parts.

While listening to McKeon's version of Lord Gordon's it seems fitting to make Trim the Velvet my next project.

The March of the Kings of Laois and a pipes version of Cùnla. I'm also trying to work out ways of using the drones to accompany a singer.

Reels:
The Broken Pledge
The Boys on the Hill
The Tempest
The Holy Land

Slip Jig:
The Foxhunters

I am trying to learn regs, and thought The Holy Land would be easy, but all the reg accompaniment I come up with is on the bottom keys, and its busting my a$$ to reach these fast enough. Any tips/tricks?
