episode 1: Willie Coleman’s Jig
I was asked to play this a while ago but haven't had much of a chance to play anything lately. The request referred to the "lovely flowing style" of a certain well known flute player. I'm afraid I can only do stumbling but the tune can still hope...
episode 1: The Lazy Dog Highland
This one used to be played by Con Cassidy. I should maybe let lazy dogs lie and not try to rush them. The tune bit me in a few places on this occasion for not following that advice but time constraints and all that these days ... (25/08/08 -...
episode 1: Follow me Down (reel)
I haven't had many chances to post tunes lately and this one was a bit of a rushed job. Any sound of a screaming baby in the background is hopefully a reflection on his distaste for bedtime rather than for my playing. Sorry; who am I trying to kid...
episode 1: The Moneymusk (highland)
There are lots of versions of this highland. This is in danger of sounding like none of them but it is an attempt to at least resemble a version I heard on a recording of the fiddle player Jimmy Lyons from Teelin, Co. Donegal. It's far less fiddly ...
episode 1: Laddy Redican’s (reel)
I think this is also called the "Forget-me-not". Any notion of a sieve-for brains like playing a tune with a name like that doesn't seem right somehow so I'll just keep calling it Redican's.
episode 1: The Four Courts (reel)
I was asked to play this one so long ago that I nearly forgot but here it is; caught just in time. I used to think the title of this tune has something to do with petrol stations. I then learned a bit (a very little bit) about spelling. Any quas...
episode 1: Top it Off (slip jig)
Here's a slip jig. It's maybe more of a slip shod in this incarnation. It's a good tune for anyone with a memory and a set of pipes. I have neither but tried to make do all the same.
episode 1: The Mathematician (hornpipe)
1 + 1 = ????? Never could add up (or hit a high 'A' - worried about hiatus and all that stuff).
episode 1: The Hawthorn (slip jig)
Here's a wee tune I stole out of Ceol Rince na hÉireann 3 (uimhir 57). I know it's meant to be bad luck stealing or interfering with thorn bushes in the wild. Hopefully na daoine beaga don't take such a dim view of thorn thefts from tomes.
episode 1: Dinny O’Brien’s Reel
I dinny play this before 'cause I dinny know it right. Chance I still donny but here's a try. (See CRÉ 3 uimh.145 for more reliable version.)
