Sure! I mean ... uh, maybe. I mean ... uh, well, I'm really not so sure, y'know.

Re: The Confidence Reel?
Have you tried humming a couple of bars into the Tunefinder App?
Or, do you have a link,youtube or Discography where you heard it to discover a more common alternative name for it?

Re: The Confidence Reel?
Seriously, all I know is the only place I can find a tune of that name is on this CD by the Beverwyck String Band.

Maybe ask Peter Siegel

So do I have to join some flute magician's union to find out?kkrell wrote:There's a trick to it.
A friend told me that he heard it at a session and liked the tune and wanted to learn it. So I am trying to find out what it is for us. I have never heard it and can't find it in my usual sources.

Re: The Confidence Reel?
Since your source is, may I say, fairly vague, is it possible that it was the Congress, misheard?

Or The Contradiction or The Providence?

Re: The Confidence Reel?
Or how about say "The Convenience" and flush this whole matter down the loo?
LOL
Best so far is that CD with a track by that name. I will try to get more info from there. Thanks Kevin.

Anyway, I've given you the only instance I can find of the name, as played by that contra band. You can hear it on their CD, and for all I know, they may have composed it. Get crackin'

Re: The Confidence Reel?
If it's the Convenience Reel, there's a story behind it -- there was a festival of some sort, and if I recall correctly the weather was not exactly session-friendly or else the crowds were so thick, a bunch of musicians ended up playing the tune in the loo. John Skelton was one of those musicians, and he suggested the name. I don't know whether this was before or after John's band Shegui recorded the tune.
I wouldn't put it past him -- sounds like Skeltonia to me!
Anyway, great tune and here's some ABCs for it:

T:Convenience, The
R:reel
E:7
S:Tom Creegan
I:speed 350

Re: The Confidence Reel?
I remember Shegui in the early 80's playing Sunday nights in the Victoria on the Holloway Road (London) - great band, great nights, great haircuts but the convenience there wasn't anything to write a tune about.....John's band Shegui
