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:

This is the second round through the tune as played by Vincent Fogarty tabbed by me. First the video again:

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.

The [D]love that I have cho[G]sen I there[D]with be con[Bm]tent
The [D]salt sea shall be fro[G]zen be[D]fore that [A] re[D]pent
Re[D]pent it shall I [G]ne[D]ver un[G]til the [D]day I [Bm]die
But the [G]lowlands of [D]Holl[G]and has [D]twined my [A]love and I[D].
My love lies in the salt sea and I am on the side
enough to break a young thing's heart that lately was a bride.
But lately was a bonny bride and pleasure in her eye.
For the lowlands of Holland has twined my love and I.
My love he built a bonny ship and set her on the sea
With seven score good mariners to bear her company.
But the weary wind began to rise, the sea began to rout
And my love then and his bonny ship turned with the shins about.
There shall nae a quaff come on my head nor comb come through my hair
There shall neither coal nor candlelight shine in my bower mair.
Nor will I marry another one, until the day I die
For the high winds and stormy seas have twined my love and I.
Oh hold your tongue my daughter dear, be still and be content.
There's men enough in Galloway, you need not sore lament.
Oh there's men enough in Galloway, alas there's none for me
For I never had a love but one and he's drownded in the sea.
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.

Intro:
Just found the time to make a little tab for this tutorial by Matt Heaton. In this series he talks about accompanying slides. He takes the DUDUDU - Jig Rhythm as basis and omits some parts. He ends up with D_DU_U|D_DU_U| etc.
This is how it looks in Tab:
The last bar is a little variation for endings.

Darren Lynch presents the classic song Spancil Hill on a Six String Bouzouki.
{t:Spancil Hill - Darren Lynch}
{st:Darren Lynch}
Capo 4th fret
Last[Gm] night as I lay [F]dreaming, of pleasant days gone [Gm]by,
Me [Gm]mind being bent on rambling,to [F]Ireland I did [C]fly,
I [Gm]stepped on board a vision,and [F]followed with a [C]will,
Till the [Gm]first I came to [F]anchor at the cross at Spancil [Gm]Hill,
T’was [Gm]on the twenty [F]third of June,the day before the [Gm]fair,
When [Gm]Ireland’s sons and daughters,and [F]friends assembled [C]there,
The [Gm]young the old the brave the bold, their [F]duty to full [C]fill,
At the [Gm]parish Church near [F]Clooney,a mile from [Dm]Spancil [Gm]Hill.
I [Gm]went to see me [F]neighbors to see what they might [Gm]say,
The [Gm]old one’s were all dead and gone,the [F]young one’s turning [C]grey,
I [Gm]met with tailor Quigley, he’s as [F]bold as ever [C]still,
Sure he [Gm]used to make me [F]britches when I lived in [Dm]Spancil [Gm]Hill.
I [Gm]paid a flying vi[F]sit to my first and only [Gm]love,
She’s as [Gm]fair as any lilly as [F]gently as a [C]dove,
She [Gm]threw her arms around me saying [F]Johnny I love ye [C]still,
She was [Gm]Meg the farmer’s [F]daughter,the pride of [Dm]Spancil [Gm]Hill.
I [Gm]dreamed I held and [F]kissed her as in the days of [Gm]yore
Ah [Gm]Johnny, you're only jokin', as [F]many's the time be[C]fore
Then the [Gm]cock, he crew in the morning, he [F]crew both loud and [C]shrill
I a[Gm]woke in Cali[F]fornia, many miles from [Dm]Spancil [Gm]Hill

Here's a tab for the Intro and the first two lines. Accompanyment of line 3 is the same as line 2 and then the first line repeats.
