This great Fermanagh reel is one of my favourites to hear played on the flute.
I first heard it as recorded, full of life and gusto, by Desi Wilkinson on his album The Three Piece Flute (an unsung classic of traditional flute recordings). I've always heard it associated with the Fermanagh fluter Eddie Duffy, and have heard Cathal McConnell and others influenced by him play it. It often featured in the flute-heavy sessions in Belfast back in the day, when we had more air in our lungs than sense in our heads.
The first part of this is clearly more than casually related to The Dublin Reel.
And here's a treat I stumbled across - a recording taken from a radio show of top Belfast fluterer Gary Hastings playing this one along with another classy, unusual reel from Eddie Duffy:
