Galway Rambler (The)

A very common session tune, “The Galway Rambler” was one of the first reel I ever learned. It was my friend Gilles Tabary who taught it to me in Switzerland. I associate this reel with flute player Adrian McMahon from Kilfenora, with whom I have enjoyed many good sessions these past few years, and in particular our Saturday nights in the Roadside Tavern in Lisdoonvarna.

I recorded The Galway Rambler on the YouTube channel, you can watch the video below!

Campbell’s Reel

This is a reel I learned from the old LP “The Russell Family”, featuring Micho, Packie & Gussie Russell. This particular tune is played on the recording by Micho and Gussie, both on tin whistle. I haven’t heard it in session that much, but it’s a nice tune nonetheless.
