"Castle Kelly" (reel) - totally inspired by David Power's recent recording of it. Power's version reminded of the great recording of the same tune by Paddy Glackin on his album with Paddy Keenan "Doublin'"

I'm working my way through John Skelton's book "A Few Tunes". Although flute/whistle focused, his choice of tunes also work well on the pipes.
