Martin Wynne’s No. 1

I learned Martin Wynne’s No. 1 from the Riches of Clare CD back in 2010. It was part of a great set of reels played by Eric Healy (fiddle), Colm Healy (accordion), Kieran Hehir (banjo) and Seanie McGrath (bouzouki).

Martin Wynne was one of the great Sligo fiddlers of the 20th Century and this particular reel is quite a common session tune.

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 tune with flute player Adrian McMahon from Kilfenora, with whom I have enjoyed many good sessions these past few years.
