West Coast Of Clare
This is my first own video I post to youtube. I'm playing my old Stevens Bouzouki here, trying to play the intro of West coast of Clare, one of the best songs by Andy Irvine. This is nearly the arragement he once played live on his bass bouzouki. I restringed my zouk for this to achieve that bass bouzouki sound.
Here's the tab for this intro, I made it with Tabledit

Andy Irvine-Songbook reissue out now!
Arild has informed me about the reissue of the Andy Irvine Songbook. Information to be found at: http://www.heupferd-musik.homepage.t-online.de/song_buecherei.htm
It's not only a reissue. There are several new songs in it. I will order it today and hope to get it next week.
Well now that I got it I have to correct, there is only one new song in it: My heart tonight's in Ireland. So if you already own the old one you don't need necessarily buy this new one. It's a lot of money for one song.
A review of the original book is to be found at Kieron's website (I did steal the photo from his website):
