Tam-Lin Reel/Glasgow Reel is associated with Davey Arthur who used to play with the Fureys. It is probably based around a traditional melody as the style of flipping between strings is reminiscent of many fiddle tunes.
Having said that, it is a great tune by any standard and so much fun to play.
It gets played a lot in the sessions and sounds great when loads of instruments join in.

I have spent hours trying to find a version even half as good on spotify, it doesn't exist. This is perfect.
Thank you so much for your encouraging comment.
Magnificent energy and feel for the music.
Amen brother, Katy Adelson, does it well I learned this from here, couple weeks smoked it
Beautiful!! 😍🙌✨
I like the version by Dave Hum. It can be found on Spotify.
I am without words. This is wonderful. Because i am a teenager i normally dont listen to Folk music but with this song i discovered my love for folk music.!!!
I grew up Irish dancing and this is the best of the best. thank you for keeping the culture alive ❤
I'm really not one to loop songs since repetition bores me very easily. HOWEVER, I've been looping this song for the past three hours with almost no pauses and I can't get enough of it!
Hey, that's fantastic, thank you so much.
I also loop this song and "Old Trevor. Both addicting and never get tired of hearing them!
@Gr8ful I think there's an official way to loop a single song, but for me I just put it in it's own playlist and looped the whole playlist.
The very best version of this I have ever heard. So polished, so spirited and sublimely uplifting. I am addicted too....gives me such joy!
@Gr8ful Try putting the cursor on the video, then right click it. A window should appear with "Loop" as a choice.
This is the most beautiful thing that my ears have ever heard
😃 😃😃
You don’t get out much

Hey, PeakFiddler!
Im an African-American male.
Im 66 years old, and I've just now taken up learning how to fiddle!
Your "Cooley's Reel" video ( and your 2 instructional videos on how to play C. R.) has inspired me to learn how to fiddle!
I know its gonna take me awhile to master C.R.
I've already memorized and can play the first line of C.R., but my timing is waaaaay off, and needs serious practice🤣.
Once I've learned "Cooley's Reel", "Tam Lin" is next.
Stay tuned!!
~Ken B.
It takes a while before you feel as though progress is being made, that's what I first found anyway, but stick with it and slowly it starts to happen.
Right on, my dude. Keep with the fiddle and best of luck on your journey. Cheers!
Unapologetically country. Folk music will never disappear with musicians like yourself bringing new energy to it
Now that's how you play fiddle!! Makes it come alive!
Glad you are enjoying this one
I love this! The Southern American mountain music came out of the Scotch-irish music. I can listen to this all day.
The best Tam Lin on you tube
Peakfiddler, I offer my sincerest gratitude for this most elevating version of yours. You made me literally cry out of joy while dancing to this and I still simply can not get enough!!!
I re-recorded this and put it on all the streaming platforms, including spotify. You might like to take a listen to the new version. open.spotify.com/track/6FXE3a0GTkvlIc4XhE2sDt?si=5d0d4f744a704d59
I Listen so often to this the best available Version and it makes me always cry of Joy and sadness...nostalgia Here We Go!!😢🤝☺️🥀🌈🕊️🌊🌬️🐲🫂🌠
What I love is the steady totally rhythmic tempo. Your. bowing into the phrases gives meaning to the melody. Masterful.
This one made me cry. You're such a good fiddler. Life is so beautiful, the sounds, the sights I love it.
Peakfiddler, you are a connection between ancient and modern violin and fiddle playing...I LOVE your sound, rhythm, technique, style and all the beautiful detail you bring to this music. It is a smile I will carry with me all day : )
That's a wonderful sentiment Alice, thank you so much for making such an encouraging comment
Greetings from Glasgow. Fantastic playing.
Love this tune and how you play it ! This is the best of TamLin version I've heard. This is a great and exhausting challenge you offered us (this end of video is a proof of it lol). Thanks for sharing !
How could you hear this and not feel happy, I love this!
I love seeing this man playing. It is not only that he is fantastic fiddler. Talent only is not enough. U have got to have equally a beautiful soul to produce such music. There is lots of soul in this performance as well as talent :)
Best version of this song by far! Makes it instantly one of my favorite songs to play at a local session.
...stunned and without words to describe how lovely this little song dances around my delighted heart and soul.... thank you 'Peak'....!
You managed to write a post.😂
This tune is addicting! The first time I heard it was done by a hammered dulcimer and fiddle and I was humming it most of the day.
First time I heard this tune was at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, played by a duo called Brollywacker, the main melody was played on a hammered dulcimer and their version started off quite relaxed, but with each repeat picked up the pace and it ended up quite the scorcher! This tune has been a favorite of mine now for over 30 years. I think this is the first time I've heard the tune expertly played on a fiddle.
Excellent player would love to see him in a Irish pub in a band 😂
Used to play out with an Irish band a few years back, it was a lot of fun.
i use it for my irish dance music lol
I don't know how to put this, but this is probably my preferred reel and I have to say that your interpretation is by far the one that moved me the most, despite the fact I've been spending far too much time listening to it, interpreted by various musicians. I discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm still amazed by your work. I've been raised in a family where Irish folk songs accompanied our growth, and what I'm hearing right now sounds to me like the soul of Ireland asking me to pick my fiddle and start playing, though I'm not Irish at all. I started learning violin with classical music and almost gave up. That's when I started fiddling and few are the things able to put a smile on my face like struggling while learning a reel, or playing in a pub during a session can. Your videos just remind me of theses times and what I missed while not playing for years, and I finally started playing again. Thank you and keep the hard work, through your tutorials and interpretations you really are giving people both motivation and joy
Gorgeously played. Full of musical tension, rhythmic anticipation and swing. Nice tempo, allowing (were it session play) other players to assimilate the tune. Guitar nicely in the offbeat, matching Irish dancer's downweighting.
That's a great description, thanks for watching
I haven't heard this song since watching Irish Dancing shows put on at my elementary school and THIS IS IT. It's the tune!! So well played.
Oh, this playing is like spreading warm butter on a morning toast. That is what mastery is about.
Making the ol' strings sing. Brilliant.
Hypnotic and wonderful!
Greetings from the Basque Country.
Greetings to you as well, thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Magical tune played by an even more magical fiddler.
Many thanks indeed, Docfloc
Already commented last year on this sublime version....and I am going to reiterate...simply the very, very best version of Tam Lim EVER!!!!!
Wow, thank you!
Blessings on You, shining man! My fiddler friend linked me in here, thanks to him this medication infuses the air! Hugs from Hungary!!
Wonderful!
By far the best version of this song i have ever heard!
Best version on youtube.
I have a cassette tape of a group called "The Melting Pot" that I purchased at the Dingle about 20 years ago...their medley starts with this tune, and I've always loved it
perfect for me to practice to. i do irish dancing at this is the type of reel music they use for my comps and i love it
Great fun, but very energetic.
I love how you look so absolutely natural playing the violin - like it's a part of your body. Wonderful!
I don't use a chin rest, so maybe that's the reason why. Thank you for your comment
@@peakfiddler True! I have only recently started to try and learn how to play the violin, and I'm trying to get used to playing without a shoulder rest right from the beginning, too.
How do you know you're watching a master? They do something you KNOW damn well is fiendishly difficult - and they make it look like they're just doodling about, and "anyone could do this, y'know . . . "
Thank you, sir!!
Hey cheers Jack
One of the best versions of this great tune I've come across - I always return to it from time to time. Other versions might be more 'polished', but this one simply has an excitement, drive and 'feel' (from great authentically 'folk' ornamentation, slides, bowing and everything else) that are perfect. Great backing too.
I love this song it is the one that I learned my first reel to.
Wow! Absolutely amazing...Your face said it all at the end!! I can only dream of becoming that good. Think I probably would of fallen off the stool. Thank you! You are an inspiration.
Yes, that tune is as good as a fitness work out!
Not feeling well today and this just made my spirits lift! I will carry this tune inside me throughout the day. Thank you!
This is what good music is supposed to sound like
Spot On!!!
You brought Tam Lin to life!!!
Thank you for uploading!!!
No problem 😊
Superb interpretation of a classic of Celtic music
You've inspired me to take out my fiddles again after many years....I shall be practicing your tunes again..I used to play many of them ...wow ,you are really an inspiration..Thanks...👍
I'm here because we played some abridged version of this in school (I'mm a cellist of five or so years) and I wanted to find an authentic rendition. This blew me away.
First recorded in 1979 by The Fureys and Davey Arthur on an album called Emigrant” known by the name of Tamlinn great tune!! thank you for your nice rendition of it, sounds lovely cheers 🪕🎶
I love Tamlin Reel, especially when played like this. This is my study tune, which is the best motivator next to the classical such as Strauss. Great key change too!
Bravo. As it should be played 💝
Many thanks indeed
This tune is the BEST of all Fiddle registry... Thanks a lot Peakfiddler, I listen this record everyday since 2/3 months when I go to work in my car :-)
This tune as well as Cooleys and the musical priest are my faves
Awesome work
Yes, this is a great performance of Tam Lin. I love the modulation. Thank you!
This is a Master Class on fiddling. I would say I can play this but after watching and listening to this I’ll only admit to knowing where the notes are.
I have a violin I bought from deiter at ashgrove, Australia, 1993, still trying to play it. I'm scots irish, I'll get there one day!
love the note-for-note playing with the banjo. a superb rendition of a great tune
My favorite version by far !
One of my favorite reels!
been listening to this for years still great!!!! found this at the start of covid and been here ever since
Thanks for listening
Sir, you played very well
Just everlasting , never grow tired of this
This is probably my most rewatched video ever. Soul stirring.
Absolute blast to watch you playing this. Just brillant! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for creating the very best ear worm that has taken over my every waking moment. I have even had to learn 2 new chords in order to attempt to play along (badly) on the guitar. It's fantastic, thank you. My favorite part is when the banjo comes in, and the key change, and everything else!
I really like the paintings you put behind. They add to it a lot!
I learned about "Tam Lin" as song no. 39 in Francis James Child's collection of ballads. It's a great song and you play it really well ! Sorry that I only came to discover your channel today.
Mis respetos totales ! Hermosa música tradicional, aunq no hago parte de esa cultura la siento mía.
The way you're playing this tune is amazing! it's now my favourite tune,thank you so much for sharing your music and keep it up!
Absolutely brilliant. I find Tam Lin a truly hypnotic tune, but this version is entrancing. I'm playing it on banjo but your amazing take on the Glasgow Reel makes my efforts sound like a very slow air!
Thanks for sharing this. Subscribed immediately.
Hey that's great to hear, I play banjo on quite a few tunes, just seems to sit well in a mix with the fiddle.
Could not agree more, the first time I heard this I thought "a reel? Surely not". My efforts on guitar and mandolin would tend to match your "slow air"!! I love the tune.
I'm also learning this song on the banjo!
Agreed, this is perfection. Love every minute of the piece.
Best rendition of the song ive ever heard.
Bravo!!! Them long notes cut right through me
This is one of, if not the best recordings of this reel you can find. Hup!
This is a fantastic tune! Can't get it out of my head. Your music is addicting! So may tunes, so little time to learn them! Only started playing fiddle going on 6 years ago (at age 68) with some missed lessons and practice because of illness. Love your videos and such a variety of tunes. Many I have already learned but not able to get up to speed because of arthritic fingers. But not giving up! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, there is no doubt that playing the fiddle/violin is certainly a lot more strenuous than many instruments. Particularly, if you stand up to play. However, the plus side is the fact that it is also very good exercise and helpful as one grows older.
Don't forget, that you can always slow down the videos using that little wheel symbol underneath the video window and there is nothing wrong with playing at a more sedate pace, I know I do it most of the time, well that's my excuse anyway, haha
That sounds like a lifetime of discipline, practice, love and devotion packed into 3 minutes... incredible!!! Amazing!!!
Thank you for uploading and sharing your work!!!
omg this is so beatifull..greatings from sunny Greece
Just wow 🤩 You’re a great player! I’m a clarinetist about to tackle this, and I was looking to listen to style and happened upon you. Amazing 👏👏
Fantastic tune and so well played! I love practicing my Irish dance to this!
Incredible tune, and incredible performance too!
Your interpretation of this tune is wonderful!
One of my absolute favourites - you are as they say proverbially - rocking it!
I am taking you with me (and my broom) to my gig at the Adult Day Care Center where I dance for the clients and lead them in sing along. Today I will put you up on the TV screen and dance the Traditional Irish Brush Dance to your sublime and exciting fiddling. Perfect dance tempo. Thank you!
That's great to hear that you were able to share some of the fun
My heart beats so strong.
Thank you so much for sharing this great tune and your wonderful talent with us 👏👏👏👏👏🙏
Go hiontach ar fad. Ceol a bhuail go láidir sa chroí 'sea é!
What a marvellous rendition! Bravo!!
Sounds great on a flute too! Thanks!
i love this tune
Wow, so fast and so clean with a touch of bravado. Great stuff!!
Ugh you play this reel so beautifully I wish you were my musician at a feis
1:49 EPIC key change (A to E) really shows off the high range of the fiddle
Yeah, sounds very good
It's actually from D minor to A minor. You just play a string up. Cool little fiddle "trick" one can do.
actually better to think modal rather than key - D Dorian to A Dorian
Its also cool to sit back and say wow! this cat has skills. the way he draws that note at the top of the A part. And, feel that right before the key change? when he settled into the tune He was vibrating at just the right frequency. he has other moments where the feel is so real, but one stands out to me as the moment of the song . right about 1:25 through the whole turnaround and pegs a beautiful note at 1:35. I don't know the tech terms for his movements but, I love that shit man!
FEELING HEALING FREQUENCES hola 👋
Hello
Me pasas tu foto de perfil?
Oh, the beauty... You'll amaze the spirits.
Thank you so much for this beautiful tune. It's been in my short list of looped songs that I am learning for the flute and concertina. It is so fast and so perfectly satisfying - until I start trying to play along. Just based on the numbers, at first, by chance I hit about every 10th note. I decided to not take the easy way out and just gently drone a single low 'D' for the entire tune. I am slowly getting it. Very slowly. Today I discovered the Tam LIn of Carterhaugh melodic slower version which is also beautiful. More my speed, then I listened to the Jig version. Like that too! So my short list includes all three tunes. I'm also learning the violin but I'm not even ready to try the melodic version on that instrument. By the way... once you listen to Tam Lin; it's almost impossible for me to stop trying to silently sing it in my head. It's not even individual notes after a while, just one unbroken note sliding all over the place. How does he do that ?
This is amazing! I dance and play, and this is true artistry on both fronts. Thank you for sharing! You've brought such a smile to my face and cheer to my heart, I'll probably be replaying this for the rest of the evening.
Interesting modulation to the A-minor. Lightens the dark a bit. Fantastic!
Lovely versions of the songs
Really brilliant and beautiful. Well done 😎
I'd love to learn this tune! The way you play it, it gives me goosebumps!
Just friggin' fantastic!
Sr definitly you are the master ....
