A Parcel of Land

This is one of the tunes Charlie Lennon wrote for his suite “Island Wedding.” The setting here is by Frankie Gavin and was transcribed from a tape of an Irish radio show.

The Dowry Reels

This great reel is played after Bag of Money. The two together are titled “The Dowry Reels.” They sound great on the flute as well as on the fiddle.

played by Paula & Melanie Houton with Ryan Molloy
