I already posted the tab for the first tune in this set. Now here's the second tune, a reel called "The Cloonagrow". Here's the link to the tune in thesession.org:

Here's a video of Charles Monod on Concertina and Vincent Fogarty on Bouzouki. The first tune is The Battle of Aughrim. But it is a slightly different version of this well known march. It refers to the playing of Micho Russell. Lovely playing from both of them. The other tunes are The Cloonagroe (Reel) and Micho Russell's Mason's Apron (Reel).
I tried to tab the first round through the first tune.

Alan Reid posted a video of his backing of the tune Banish Misfortune on the bouzouki group on Facebook. I tried to tab the first round through the tune.

Here's the link to the video, but I think you need to have a facebook account and you have to be member of the bouzouki group to be able to watch the video.

I first hesitated to join, but a few days ago I couln't resist and I have to say, it is really worth it. Can't wait for another video!

I spent a lovely folk workshop weekend in Texel, Netherlands. This is the teachers concert I filmed there. Luke Ward on his Sobell together with Brendan Mulholland on Flute and Aaron O'Hagan on Pipes. Great craic!
First the two videos that Aaron posted on his youtube channel:
The Hut on Staffin Island - Kiss the Maid behind the Barrel - Palmers Gate
Trip to Killavil - Scotsman over the Border - Health to the Ladies. Jigs
special Guest: Rolf Wagels on Bodhran
Here's the full Concert out of my camera:
I really like Daoiri's version of this old song. He uses some nice chords here. I tried to tab the chords, which can only be very loose, because he plays very free. Capo on 2nd fret. Hope this might be helpful. Maybe I'll try to tab the intro one day, but it's a lot of work.
By the way, if someone of you has some tabs, helpers or anything to with with the irish bouzouki to offer which I can post on my blog, this would be very appreciated.
John O’Dreams
written by Bill Caddick
When midnight comes and people homeward tread
Seek now your blanket and your feather bed
Home comes the rover his journeys over
Yield up the night time to old John O’Dreams
Across the hills the sun has gone astray
Tomorrows cares are many dreams away
They stars are flying your candle is dying
Yield up the darkness to old John O’Dreams
Both man and master in the night are one
All things are equal when the day is done
The prince and the ploughman, the slave and the freeman
All find their comfort in old John O’Dreams
When sleep it comes the dreams come running clear
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here
Sleep is a river, flow on forever
And for your boatman choose old John O’Dreams
Steve Knightley from Show of Hands shows some nice Chords and shows how to use them.
Tijn is a fantastic bouzouki player from the Netherlands. Here's a concert filmed in 2015.
Ye Vagabonds and their lovely version of the classic Song "Lowlands of Holland". I tried to tab the intro because it is so beautiful. Capo 2nd fret. The bouzouki is stringed in octaves, so it sounds different if your bouzouki is stringed in unisons.
If you find any mistakes please let me know.

Lyrics of Dubliner's version:
The night that I was married and in my married bed
Up comes the bold sea captain and stands at my bed head
Saying 'arise, arise, young wedded man and come along with me
To the Lowlands of Holland for to fight the enemy'
Oh, Holland is a lovely land and in it grows fine grain
It is a place of residence for soldiers to remain
Where the sugar cane grows plentiful and the tea grows on each tree
I never had but the one sweetheart and she's far away from me
Says the mother to the daughter 'leave off your sore lament
There's men enough in Galway to be your heart's content'
'There's men enough in Galway, but alas there's none for me
Since the high winds and the stormy seas have parted my love and me'
'i'll wear no stays around my waist, no combs all in my hair
No handkerchief around my neck, to shade my beauty fair
And neither will I marry until the day I die
Since the high winds and the stormy seas have parted my love and I'.
This song is not about Holland, but about Dutch Guyana (Surinam)
Donal and Paddy speaking to Carl Corcoran about their lives in music at Blas International Summer School of Irish Traditional Music and Dance, in association with the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention.
They also play some tunes together.
A wonderful love song from Daoiri's latest album.
