about

I first recorded this tune a few years ago after learning it from an Irish fingerstyle compilation album from the 80s, played by Martin Simpson. I later found out it’s not a trad after all, it’s a Turlough O’Carolan tune, so this is my updated take on it. Compared to the other tunes on this record there’s a lot of room for expression and for playing around with the harmonies, There’s so much space in it, it almost lends itself to a few jazz chords.
