Alison, here are the results of a search I did for the Fairy Reel. They offer several different formats for communicating the melody, so hopefully at least one will be useable by you. I use the GIF files, which are images of the sheet music. There are 14 Fairy Reels listed; these might contain some exact repeats, some slight variations, and some completely different tunes with the same name, so you may have to look around the list.

I didn't know there was a Fairy Reel song. I learned it in my ceilidh dance class, and it's one of my favourites.

Good luck, Marion

Oops sorry... should have been more specific.....

I know the tune "The Fairy Reel" but I want the tune for the song in the database.... I don't think they're the same tune.

Thanks for you help though

Alison, is this the one? The B part appears in both Irish and American fiddle tunes but I can't think of the Irish title tonight.

Regards, John
