Some diddley tunes

[Ro3b]

This isn't really guitar-centric, but you all might enjoy it anyway. It's my former band Roaring Mary playing at Star Hill Music Hall in Charlottesville, VA in 2001. The set of tunes we're doing starts with a Scottish jig, then goes into a Quebecois reel, then finishes off with a tune by Bela Fleck that we learned from Tola Custy, a fiddler from Co. Clare.

I really like it Ro3b! It's on the pod now. My little bit of Tipperary ancestry loves this kind of thing.

I was away from the Fret the last 4 or 5 days & missed this post. Great stuff Ro3B!!

That is some good music. I love the old Celtic instrumental sound. Any idea where more can be found? I also heard some Celtic music played in today's modern style. It was awesome!

That is top notch! Warms this Irishman's heart.
Good on ye mate.

Thanks, y'all!

Tim, if want to get into the real good old stuff, check out my friend Philippe's business, Celtic Grooves Imports. This is the one source in the US for a whole lot of small-label and hard-to-find Irish music, and it's no exaggeration to say that everything he carries is worth a listen.

And if you really want to get hardcore, Philippe produced an album a few years ago called From Galway to Dublin, which is a collection of early recordings of Irish music from the 78 era. It's wicked good.

Thanks for posting that, Ro3b! I was just playing at the Irish pub last night - wish we would have sounded like that. Very well played, and good sound too on that recording.

Thank you for posting this. This to me is feel-good music, and I feel mighty good right about now.
