The Devils of Dublin

Here you go Josh. I pulled a version of this off the wooden flute tune data base last fall and tweaked the ornamentation to fit my style. Nice tune. You can make the melody flow more by replacing some of the rolls with strings of notes, so the A~F3 in the first half could be played AFDF instead, etc.

YOU’RE MY HERO!!!

Well, who’d have thought that the Merry Blacksmith would be a manifestation of the Dark Forces? This tune appears to be a version of the Merry Blacksmith, and not in the least diabolical - quite the opposite.

I heard this at my local session and I was told that it was the Michael Coleman version of the Merry Blacksmith. I didn’t realise it had a different name.

The Connacht Reel

While doing a search on tunepal.org, I fell on the above 4th setting as a possible match in addition to Devils of Dublin proposition. It is named The Connacht Reel from the Book "Treoir". I don’t remember from which database it is, so thanks to the original transcriptor.
