Re: ill only do this once, promise

i know this reel as the doonagore. i learned it off the cd "open hearth" by east clare reed players mary macnamara and brother andrew macnamara, whose swing has a backbeat and a shimmy to it that i really like........

This video is just amazing... I love videos like this one, with a few talanted musicans playing together. In my opinion the whole set is amazing. Would anyone want to tell me the name of all the tunes?

I agree with Enob:

And all three of the tunes in the TMIYD set are really lovely, and played well (IMHO).

Learn them all, why not?

Rook - I agree, and am learing all three as per the set - great pace and loads of lift - lovely !

Re: ill only do this once, promise

Good for you!

And (IMHO) it might be good to note the difference in the tempos between some of the different recordings out there -
I think half the quality of the TMIYD set is
that they do not sound "desperate" -
desperate as in:
"Jaysus!!! How many notes can we cram in at how fast a tempo with how many chord changes from the backers and still have the listeners think I have done all seventeen of the tunes in the set justice with playing them just one chorus apiece?"

If it's a nice tune, maybe play it awhile.
Maybe even twice thru.

Good Luck.

PS Enob:
Have you listened to Beginish?

Re: ill only do this once, promise

Not really, I have heard of them but can't say I have listened to them except odd snippet on Clare FM radio - but I will definitely look them up on your recommendation - thanks for that
Where are you based incidentally ?
