Well, the tunes I’m currently learning are mostly ones that Eve has found at sessions - and a great collection of tunes they are too!
- The Sweetness of Mary (strathspey)
- Cliffs of Moher (jig)
- The Flogging Reel (reel)
- Heights of Casino (jig) - tricky with all those dotted notes!
- Blue Idol (jig)
- Catharsis (reel) (some tricky cross-bowing on the second part)
- Sean Ryan’s Jig (jig) - I’ve heard it at festivals - but most recently at a session in Brisbane where my daughter held up her mobile phone so I could listen to the tune in Canberra!
All these tunes are on http://www.thesession.org - a great resource for tunes. I’m looking forward to hearing the other tunes that Eve has in mind for me to learn - she’s got a great ear for an interesting tune or rhythm.
Cheers
Jerry
