The Foxhunters is a commonly played slip jig amongst Irish session musicians. Played by Joe Nobiling on a mid 1930s Gibson mandolin.
Very nice Joe! The band that I play in, plays this in G, rather than D, and we go into Kid on the Mountain afterwards.... it's one of our favorite medleys!
Sounds like a good pairing.
Tally-Ho! Hounds Away!
As we say in Texas, Yee-Haw!
Another version of the Fohunter's Jig on a Kennaquhair Cittern - GGDDAAEEBB...
This hasn't been a tune of the week?
Thanks for another great mandolin and guitar contribution! It's such a good combination. And I'm very impressed with your dexterity on this tricky tune.
A tune that's deep in the heart of every Fairport Convention fan, as the third tune in the groundbreaking Liege & Lief medley! I've never managed to get it under my fingers, so Mike's wonderful duet may give me the kick I need. Martin
Ah, Fairport ... Still a great band today!
Wow..Mike, that's excellent...what is the name of your lady friend? so we can compliment her too.
Really nice Mike - this is going to take some work to get the timing down on this piece - don't think I ever tried 9/8 time before. It's like the one you posted yesterday. Really like them - great job. Thanks
The guitarist is my lovely wife, Korah. ... I love Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson, jointly and severally. This tune was a favorite at the Irish trad session we used to have in town.
Great playing you guys, this is a lovely tune. Thanks. Suddenly thought, ’wait a minute, I’m sure I posted this too.’ Here it is, a very stately version, sorry I doubled the tune thread: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/group.php?discussionid=6589&do=discuss
This is the official thread for foxhunters while we’re on the subject of new puppies, Ginny!
