For some reason some of the tunes don’t link into the data base, especially odd for tunes like Willie Coleman’s or Jenny’s Chickens? Any suggestions how I could correct this, if indeed it is something I can do anything about

Your apostrophes are the curly, smart-quotes character that doesn’t match the regular keyboard apostophe, ’ instead of ’. Did you paste the names out of a word processor?

Thanks for the tip. I pasted the names from my ipod but I originally got them from the Oidhreacht an Chláir website, so I assume that this is where the oddity arose.

Link is wrong

… for the first tune. I thought I recognised it, but need to check further.

Tune 1 track 5 (Tommy Peoples playing a pair of jigs) automatically links to a reel of the same name; it’s worth visiting the comments to get more information about this discrepancy.

The reel is called “The Kinnycally Klansmen” in Peoples’ book, but I can’t see the jig that he plays on this track.

Aha, found the jig in the book: it’s Kinny Cally Hill, so I’ve notated the tune from the recording and re-linked.
