    Default Help! Anyone know the names of these 3 reels?

    Can anyone help me identify the names of the 3 Irish reels being played here?

    I'd be very grateful, as it would help me conclude a small archiving exercise, and I'm stuck!

    thanks! Kevin

    The first is "The Bird in the Bush" and the third is "The Earl's Chair." Not sure about the second...

    Second one is similar to the Congress reel, missing an A part and with some variation.

    Certainly the Congress Reel is the second one, pretty well the standard session version round my way and I agree with Wolfboy about the first and third reels.

    mainly Irish & Scottish but open to all dance-oriented melodic music.

    Fantastic - nice work indeed, and I'm extremely grateful. The accordionist here, Robert MacDonald of Valtos in Skye, with whom I played for a number of years, tragically died young of cancer, and I'm putting together what recordings we have for his family, and this was the last missing detail, so much appreciated. Robert also played in Runrig.
