Irish Folk Weekend Bonn

I'm back from Irish folk weekend in Bonn. We all had a great time playing together. Thanks to Sabrina, Ekhart and all the others who made this weekend possible. This time we were 10 bouzouki players. We learned the tunes Far from home, Jim Donoghue's and the song Aragon Mill besides some techniques and Rhythms. On Friday evening there was a concert at Fiddlers Irish pub with Séan Reeves & FEW, who are Séan Reeves, Michael Lempelius and Jonathan Williams.
Here is some information about them:

This time I did not capture the workshop tune. Sorry for that. Instead I post some videos from the bouzouki workshop by Michael Lempelius. First is a song called Aragon Mills:



I will post chords as PDF as soon as I finished them.

Next a Song by Richard Thompson called Beeswing:
