Do my eyes/ears deceive me? or is the mandolin tuned to something other than standard GDAE ? ...CGDA perhaps
Farewell John, such a brilliant wordsmith. A huge loss to music. RIP
He also had a serious talent for a good story, as the second of Sean's videos demonstrates. RIP Arty
On every forum to do with music, there's always a rare individual, who's comments and posts are invariably helpful, never sarcastic or thoughtless. This role was one which Ivan filled. May he rest...
Paddy Cleere in Kilkenny is well worth a look Susanne, he's on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/Paddycleereinstruments/
Sorry to hear this Ivan, your posts are invariably helpful and cheerful. I wish you well, and while it wont be easy, would advocate what many others have said about holding on to some of your...
Tom followed his musical heroes, and made a noise that will never subside. So sad to hear of his passing, last night. RIP

Beautiful arrangement. The two instruments blend seamlessly.
Thanks Will, Just had a couple of runs through the tune using your backing track. Heel for heel and toe for toe! I remember hearing The Alexander Brothers version many moons ago, it's a great tune.

Welcome Tergal, I too have been following your Youtube videos. You have great technical skill, and your style is really musical and sensitive. (sometimes people replace soul with too much...
That's really nice Ken, love the look!
I hope the people at Collings' finishing department are being offered counselling, this is an affront to them. Comes close to criminal damage IMHO.
Jill, as far as I know, Quentin Cooper makes instruments, and the mandolin he's playing is one of his own. What a great blend those three make, magic!

The box player is Josephine Marsh, and that's the Josephine Marsh Band, which might explain the box being more to the front in the mix. I can hear Declan just fine (DJF). :)) I think the whole clip...
For anybody who doesn't know him, it's Declan Corey, a very fine player.
This is an interesting one. My gut reaction is to agree with Eddie and advise you to leave your mandolin at home and have fun.
Irish traditional sessions are not generally advertised. If they...
I've done it too! Every day a school day.
For me, the music I like most is the simple stuff. The tracks where people are playing well within their technical limits. This piece is just that. I often quote a musician friend of mine who,...
