Donal Lunny at Custiys Music Shop

Donal Lunny playing Bouzouki and Mary Custy playing fiddle with two fine jigs here. I can't understand what the name of the first jig is, the second one is the battering ram.

The Blacksmith

A really good version of the blacksmith by Kyle. He's got a real powerful playing on this one. A tribute to Andy Irvine and his well known version of this song.



And another video:Two tunes from the album Dual by Eamon Doorley, Julie Fowlis, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh and Ross Martin calledTha 'm buntata mor / An Bairille. The second tune is also known as The rocky road to Dublin.

Ralf P. Wacker's Irish Bouzouki Book will be translated soon


Ralf, the writer of the German book for the Irish Bouzouki just informed me, that his book is currently translated into English.

The Uilleann piper of his band is studying in Limerick, where she is working on a translation. Let's hope it will not take too long before we can announce a new book for the world market. And I can promise you it will be of great interest for all players of the Irish Bouzouki.
