This reel is called “Reel des cinq jumelles” (Reel of the five twins) which is named after quintuplets who were born in the early 1930s and were taken from their parents to be placed in custody of the Ontario government.
Beautiful reel!
Waltz clog (track 10)
La Valse Clog (or clogue) is a traditional tune from Quebec. Philippe Bruneau’s version is quite popular, I heard people say he composed it but everywhere I check it says “traditional”, so this tune might be older than Bruneau. One should ask Jackie Daly from who he got it.
Bruneau’s recording:

There’s also a clog hornpipe (followed by jig and reel), from master Bruneau again:

It’s not very good quality, and the tunes are not on this recording, but here are the 3 musicians playing together in a session around the time this record was made.
