I know this one. :-) In the Cape Breton tradition they are commonly known as the wedding reels. Working from memory of John Campbell's ramblings during workshops... The first Cape Breton fiddle recording ever made was of the "wedding reel set" and was recorded by Angus Chisholm, Dan J. Campbell (John's father) and Angus Gillis. The record company paid them $100 Canadian and traveling expenses. Marcia Palmater uses that recording as the opening theme for her weekly radio show, "Downeast Ceilidh".
