So, the only actual discrepancies are ~ ?

16.) "Billy Brocker’s Reel" X 3 / OK "The Maids of Mount (K)Cisco" X 2
"Billy Brocker’s Reel" is here twice ( the first is closest to this take )

On the recording the name given instead for "Billy Brocker’s Reel" was "Mary Bergin’s Reel"…
18.) The Cottage in the Glen (B Dorian) / ~ / ~
~ the first tune or this set is given as ‘gan ainm’ on the recording..
Sean Conway was on an F whistle, so he was playing it even higher, D Dorian…
5.) “Katie Moloney’s Polka” / “The Lisdoonvarna Polka”
Micho Russell
This is as it is given on the sleeve notes, and I’m not sure who ascribed the names. So it will link to the transcriptions I’ve changed "The Lisdoonvarna Polka" to "Micho’s March"… It is also known as "MIcho’s Polka" and "Micho Russell’s Polka"…
13 (Reels) The Folklore Selection
These are the Maple Leaf and the Man of Arran, both by Darach de Brun and both already here in the database.
Duh! :-/
These I should have known, having learned them from Darach… Sometimes I really am quite semi-conscious. One problem was that I only had this on the cassette, and not at hand… Thanks for the help and the wake up call… ;-)
