Denis Murphy's

I got this tune from Jackie Daly and Séamus Creagh (accordion & fiddle). It's a variant of 'The Chorus Reel', but different enough to have a different name.

When I joined the workshop in Sligo last year, the organizer Carmel Gunning, who is a great whistle player, was going to give us a lesson. But unfortunately, she was too busy and just left us the music of the tunes. This is one of them. Basically the same.
