Daoiri Farrell - 2 videos I took at a workshop weekend in Halle, Germany in 2011

I first met Daoiri in 2011 at a workshop weekend in Halle, Germany. This weekend was presented by the Halle Music School which was led at that time by Flute and Whistle player Alan Doherty.
In the first video Daoiri plays my Dreizehnter bouzouki. I asked him to play Paddy's green shamrock shore.



 The second video is a song I don't know the title of.

Jig Rhythm lesson - Strumming Triplets

This one's for guitar, but as it is about right hand patterns it is useful for Zouk also. It is about strumming triplets in a Jig Rhythm. It takes some time to play it fluently, but it's worth the effort. By the way, Nye published a book about accompanying Irish Music. You can get it here:

Tijn Berends - The Sauna, Inches from Dublin

Here's another fantastic video from Tijn. So much drive in the right hand. He writes about this:

Here's a nice set of reels, played on my trusty harmonica and my shiny new Joe Foley bouzouki. The first tune is one I wrote myself last week called "The Sauna", inspired by a gig I had to play in a hellishly hot tent. The second one is called "Inches from Dublin", originally from Padraig Rynne (or so I'm told) but I play the version by uillean piper Michael Boere.
