Missing links

Can’t understand why these titles aren’t linked to the tune - nearly all of them are here. Is it an “apostrophe” thing ?
These are CD versions of 3 “Outlet” LP records, 2 compilations, and also the “Accordion Champions” LP, which is 100% reels. As noted elsewhere, they can be purchased along with another 7 Outlet CDs for £12.95 + £5 P&P on ebay - the best deal you’ll ever get, although it appears you can occasionally get them even cheaper than that. I wondered how long it would take people to pick up on this. I’ve already given 3 sets away to players I knew would appreciate them.

“Celtic Souls: Irish Celtic Ballads & Traditional Music” 10 CDs for a fiver 😎

I had added the links between the 10, and a single entry for the set, but Jeremy seems to have deleted all that information. I’m guessing he didn’t like the box set entry I made giving the name and links to the 10 CDs…

We have an ill computer and I have been dealing with that. When things are back together I’ll redo at least the links… This set of 10 CDs for a fiver is a steal, even if it were only the Murphy brothers fiddlin’ away… There’s also some great wind music and squeezing too…

Murphys ?

Kellys! 😏 ~ John & James & friends

The ‘Murphy brothers’ are another story… 😎

On track 27, it is the Abbey Reel. Perhaps the “Abbey Rule” indicated on the album cover is a typo.
