I’ve written out the tune with triplets on the F in the second part. The F could also be rolled. Switching between triplets and rolls could make a nice effect.

Also found on…

Noel Hill and Tony Linnane’s album…

Entirely different tune

There is another tune with this name which is entirely different in the key of A.

What to pair with Last Night’s Fun

Does anyone have a recommendation on tunes to pair with Last Night’s Fun? I’d like to add this one to my set list but it needs a mate! Thanks!

Mike Rafferty recorded the Abbey Reel after this tune. https://thesession.org/tunes/477
It seems the combination of these two tunes is not his invention: they were already paired by Tulla Ceili Band. Anyway, that’s a lovely set of single reels.

Last Night’s Fun - - Killoran’s Reels

On Joe Ryan’s An Buachaill Dreoite, track 7 this is the first of two reels titles "Killoran’s Reels". Anyone know what the 2nd one is?
