I've been asked to make a CD & I have some things in mind, but I wanted to bounce it off thesession.org for some more ideas.
Just to give you a general outline of what I'm going to do; it's going to be solo fiddle with piano, guitar or zouk (not at the same time) backing.
A few tunes that I'm pretty much sure I'm going to do are:
Col Frazer's
Sweeny's Dream/Merry Harrier's/Ballinasloe Fair
The Grey Goose/Tell Her I Am
Forget Me Not/Bunch of Keys
& a few others
So, what tunes would you folks suggest, any favs?
There's some pretty warty clips of my shtuff here http://www.myspace.com/mediatorstage
(just look through for the fiddle vids)
I was thinking of the Queen of May, I forgot about the Providence - but that's def going to make it on. Jennie's Welcome is too hard for me, I should work on that one.
Never was Piping so Gay.
The Orange Blossom Special. (as played "Irish style" by Frankie Gavin
I wish I never met you. (Composed by Andy McGann)
Larry O'Gaff
Paddy Fahey's no. 236, in the key of G mega-minor.
Thinking of recording... Tune suggestions?

The Mediator Stage is a music series that I help with. It's mostly community based but we've had a few Irish concerts.
