A couple of American Reels.
A set of American tunes – sometimes used for nursery-rhyme type songs (“I Found a little baby bumblebee…”), but still really good – cliche’s work!Arkansas Traveller

Cader Idris (Waltz)
A mountain in the south of Snowdonia. The most widespread explanation for the name of the mountain is based on the fact that Cadair means “chair”. Cadair Idris would thus translate as “the chair of Idris”, and the Idris in question is usually taken to be a giant from Welsh mythology who was said to have used the mountain as an enormous armchair to gaze at the starsCader Idris

Rights of Man (Hornpipe)
Possibly written after the pamphlet by Thomas Paine in 1791, which was influential in supporting the French Revolution and promoting the overthrow of the British monarchy. He poses the argument that popular political revolution is permissible when a government does not safeguard its people, their natural rights and their national interests.Rights of Man

King of the Fairies (Hornpipe)
It’s considered a “non-traditional set” for modern stepdancers, which means that a stepdancer would dance a choreographed set to it rather than one that’s been handed down. In competition dancers would dance first the step (the A part), and then the set (the B part). Because of time constraints, they usually only dance the right foot of the B, so if you’re playing for a dancer’s set, you’d play AAA, B.King of the Fairies
