The Battle of Aughrim - Accompanyment by Vincent Fogarty
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.
If you want the whole tab in pdf form just write an email and comment.
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.

Alan Reid - Bouzouki tutorials on Patreon
Some months ago Alan started his Patreon page on which he regularly posts tutorials for bouzouki and banjo. If you pay 5€ per month you have access the the growing library of videos, Tabs etc. Up to now he posted tutorial videos which describe the style of Donal Lunny and Alec Finn (50 min!) and also 2 videos in which he gives lots of hints of how to accompany tunes in Mixolydian modes.
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!

Luke Ward, Aaron O'Hagan, Brendan Mulholland - Live in Texel
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:
Daoiri Farrell - John O'Dreams
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.

Ye Vagabonds - Lowlands of Holland
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.

{t:Lowlands of Holland}

{st:Ye Vagabonds}
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 [D]love lies in the salt [G]sea and [D] I am on the [Bm]side
en[D]ough to break a young thing's [G]heart that [D]lately [A]was a [D]bride.
But [D]lately was a [G]bonny [D]bride and [G]pleasure [D]in her [Bm]eye.
For the [G]lowlands of [D]Hol[G]land has [D]twined my [A]love and [D]I.
My [D]love he built a bonny [G]ship and [D]set her on the [Bm]sea
With [D]seven score good mari[G]ners to [D]bear her [A]compa[D]ny.
But the [D]weary wind be[G]gan to [D]rise, the [G]sea be[D]gan to [Bm]rout
And my [G]love then and his [D]bonny [G]ship turned [D]with the [A]shins a[D]bout.
There [D]shall nae a quaff come on my [G]head nor [D]comb come through my [Bm]hair
There shall [D]neither coal nor candlel[G]ight shine [D]in my [A]bower [D]mair.
Nor [D]will I marry a[G]nother [D]one, un[G]til the [D]day I [Bm]die
For the [G]high winds and [D]stormy [G]seas have [D]twined my [A]love and [D]I.
Oh [D]hold your tongue my daughter [G]dear, be [D]still and [A]be con[Bm]tent.
There's [D]men enough in Gallo[G]way, you [D]need not [A]sore la[D]ment.
Oh there's [D]men enough in [G]Gallo[D]way, a[G]las there's [D]none for [Bm]me
For I [G]never had a [D]love but [G]one and he's [D]drownded [A]in the [D]sea.
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)

Intro:
{t:Sweet Portadown}
{st:Daoiri Farrell}
{c:}
As [Dm]I went out [C]walkin' one [Gm]morning in [Am]June,
I [Bb]spied a fair [Am]damsel in the [Bb]sweet summer [C]bloom,
Her [Dm]cheeks they were [Am]rosy, her [Gm]hair it hung [Am]down
And she [Gm]came from Black[Am]water near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down.
I [Dm]stood in a[C]mazement as the [Gm]breezes did [Am]blow,
And the [Bb]blood in my [Am]veins like a [Bb]river did [C]flow
I [Dm]thought her the [Am]fairest in all [Gm]Ireland was [Am]found,
The [Gm]day when I [Am]met her, near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]Idown
Says [Dm]I my we [C]lassie, I [Gm]don’t know your [Am]name,
She [Bb]answered me [Am]shyly, I’m a[Bb]fflicted the [C]same,
Says [Dm]I mine's O’[Am]Connor, a [Gm]name of re[Am]nown,
She [Gm]says mine's O’[Am]Driscoll from [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]Idown,
I ex[Dm]cused myself [C]kindly, I [Gm]said if you [Am]please,
We will [Bb]both take a [Am]ramble in the [Bb]Blackwater [C]breeze
I’m [Dm]sorry she [Am]said, but I [Gm]can’t go to[Am]day,
For I’m [Gm]searching for [Am]young lambs, that [Bb]have gone a[Dm]stray.
Then [Dm]I will go [C]with you, in [Gm]search of your [Am]flock,
And the [Bb]sun it did [Am]dazzle on her [Bb]dark amber [C]locks,
We [Dm]searched the [Am]whole day, till the [Gm]sun it went [Am]down,
And at [Gm]length we lo[Am]cated them near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down,
As we [Dm]made our way [C]homeward, we [Gm]sat down to [Am]rest,
And we [Bb]watched the rock [Am]thrush on the [Bb]Blackwater [C]cress,
I t[Dm]old her I [Am]loved her, as the [Gm]sun went [Am]down,
Be[Gm]hind the [Am]green hills near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down,
She [Dm]said if you [C]love me, you [Gm]must be ex[Am]cused
For [Bb]I am a [Am]poor girl, so you [Bb]must be re[C]fused,
I [Dm]work hard for a [Am]living, the [Gm]whole year a[Am]round,
And be[Gm]sides I would [Am]never, leave [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down,
I won’t [Dm]ask you to [C]leave it, the [Gm]place of your [Am]birth,
For [Bb]I know it’s the [Am]grandest and [Bb]fairest on [C]earth,
But if [Dm]you’ll con[Am]sent for to [Gm]be my own [Am]bride,
It’s [Gm]married we’ll [Am]be by the [Bb]Blackwater [Dm]side,
We [Dm]went to her [C]parents, they [Gm]considered a[Am]while,
Her [Bb]mother looked [Am]on me, and at [Bb]length she did [C]smile,
If [Dm]Flora con[Am]sents, so [Gm]we’ll consent [Am]to
And it’s [Gm]married we [Am]were on the [Bb]18th of [Dm]June
Come [Dm]all ye fair [C]maidens, as[Gm]semble to[Am]night,
And [Bb]marry your [Am]first love, even [Bb]though at first [C]sight,
Don’t [Dm]marry for [Am]riches or [Gm]fame or re[Am]nown,
For [Gm]we living [Am]happy near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down.

Matt Heaton - Accompanying Slides
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.
