Garrett Barry's Holland's and Orla's Reel. N Holmes, Dave Wood guitar, Karen Tweed accordion

This is a track that I've just re-recorded this time with the help of Karen Tweed and with the original guitar and bouzouki accompaniment. It was first used on Wooden Flute Obsessions III CD. It starts with a laid back hornpipe known as Garrett Barry's. I think the second tune was composed by MacMaster (uncle of Natalie I presume) but has been through the mincer of the Durham Colpitts session and doesn't sound like anything I can trace. The final tune was composed by, close friend of all three musicians on this recording; Paul Ruane, for his daughter Orla Ruane in 1999 (approximately). Paul was a great fiddle player, a founder member of the Tyneside band Cuig. He died on the 3rd August 2016 at all too young an age. He taught me Orla's Reel shortly after he'd composed it and I've played it ever since.
