August Irish Tune of the Month

I heard this jig on a 78 by the Balinakill Traditional Dance players. They did it with Carraroe Jig and called it Lambert's. I love their sound. You can hear it on an old Folkways LP called Irish Dance Music. It may be on the CD reissue as well.

Hot contra dance medley from The Gnutones, Live! CD

Update: Oct 29/12: Downloading is now available for this tune. Thanks for listening.<br><br> I been composing tunes in the last couple of weeks, and a couple in Ireland have been helping out in recording them. They are called Dulahan Ireland. We are "friends" online through TradConnect.com. <br>Their ability to play so well a new tune astounds me at the least.. I have not tried these tunes at this pace, about 160BPM in 12/8 time which is the dotted 1/4 note gets the beat. <br>The tunes are slides, and I have one more coming which is Carpenter Bill which is a double jig in 6/8. <br>I have not allowed downloading at this time until I get permission from them to do so. It's my song yes, but it is their performance. So keep checking. <br>Comments on the structure of the tune is welcomed. I don't think you will have a problem with their performances.<br> Enjoy: AJ

Having fun with my first really decent bow, (a Codabow) and the Stainer. I think it's going to be a good combination!!

A fiddle quartet (me, myself, & I & I + some dog notes & jingles) on fiddle and Octave Fiddle. This is what happens when one gets a new set of strings in the mail and is a rank amateur at recordings ;-)

Tunes from a Tuesday at Patrick's Pub in Providence. I think Jay Gilbert is playing the tenor. I learned Bear Island from John McGann, I miss him so much. I really dig the sound of session back round noise, it just relaxes me and the amazing thing is it's the same everywhere you go!

This is a fiddle tune that I was trying to play some time back when I left the fiddle. But now I have the fiddle back out and starting up where I left.

Set of Irish Reels performed by Character Fleadh

A waltz from the British Isles done with fiddle, viola & guitar.

I'm still just learning this one, but it's starting to okay! I'm playing it on my Hopf.

Friends and I from our band Wylde Thyme.

I learned this lovely Shetland Islands (Scottish) waltz from the playing of Aly Bain & Willie Johnson.

I was trying to "simulate" somewhat of the recording from Saint Vitus Dance Band. I was playing a solo at a request and the mixer decided to throw on the echo. Hides some of the mistakes.

An Irish Reel, the Mason's Apron, followed by a Scottish Reel, Big John McNeil. Recorded on my Zoom Q3.
