Some winter tunes

This is a set that Ted likes to play together Sheehan’s into Cameronian. Here are session style versions of these two: Sheehan’s and the Cameronian . Here is a reasonable set of notes for the Cameronian.

Gary likes the Boy in the Boat, which you can hear here starting at the 1:23 mark. You can also hear a bagpipe version here.

I have been playing Devlin’s – a nice Bm jig. You can sample Kevin Burke playing here.

Scatter the Mud

Legacy Jig

Nice listening

I really enjoyed this clip. In the jig set, the second and third are two Sean Ryan jigs that I enjoy playing. Cory plays them also so next time he is at the session, I will pull them out.

Sound of Sleat

No, this does not refer to what you hear when you wake up in an ice storm.

Here is Capercaillie playing the Sound of Sleat , and here is the same tune on cittern.

O’Donoghue’s Opera

In the rare auld times

Another good tune

From Christy: Garech’s wedding with Danu – here are the notes: Garech’s wedding

Here is a pedagogic version, played slowly.

Jug of Punch

Here is a good versions of the Jug of Punch on Mandolin.

Here are the notes to Jug of punch.

To Ireland

This is Farewell to Ireland (or to Erin). There are very many poor versions on the web – this is better than most – a Spanish session.

And here is the same tune by Barney McKenna on banjo.

Here are the notes to Farewell to Ireland.

While looking for it, I found this Trip to Ireland, bu McGoldrick and McSherry, that Christy should love. The notes are here. The second tune is Jutland.

And Christy has found The Dub Reel by these same characters. An approximate set of dots is here: The Dub Reel

A good natured man

Here is A Good Natured Man, in honor of Cynthia’s good friend who died recently. The notes are here. However, Cynthia plays it in F.

A video for Shiela Coyle’s has appeared since I posted the notes below.
