@MaidinRealta yes the vharacter Tam Lynn was a hero in a scottish shapeshifter story/legend as the balad of Tam lynn. I dont think the reel and the song are related though but the Irish guy who wrote the song in the 1980s did give it a scottish flavour with a name like the Glasgow reel or Tam Lynn. Maybe he likes scotland?
@seonidh .....the guy who wrote it was Davey Arthur, an irish musician in a folk band called the The Fureys and Davey Arthur..the legend and the reel are not related but davey lived in edinburgh,scotland for a number of years whilst growing up...thus the connection. the reel is called Tam Linn..
this first tune is called tam linn and its a lovely reel,, written by davey arthur and george furey,,, lovely playing from the crawley family long my you keep it going,,
I dance with the Niall O'Leary school of Irish Dance in New York City. He plays this in class sometimes. I'm in his adult beginner's class. I just started hard shoe two weeks ago. It requires a lot of practice.
Terrific musicianship! As a lover of traditional sound, I thought the drumset was out of place. I think a bodhran would have been much more appropriate. But, you get 5 stars from me just the same!
Ok. This reel has 2 names, Glasgow Reel and another one i cant remember. Actually it probably has a few names like many other tunes do. The 2nd tune is called tulla. And this tune is always played at dancing comps because of the rhythm. =D
X hiya x am asking you this since you used 2 do irish dancing lol. i used 2 do irish dancing i amm 18 andi want 2 join back up again do you reckon i am 2 old. lol thnx

I adore The Glasgow Reel. There is just something special about that song that is different from my other favorite traditional Irish songs.

The drumset is not very out of place, considering it has been common in Ceilidh Bands for years.
