Wow

This album has just been released in the US.

My first impression was: "bummer, no Kevin Crawford."
My second impression was: "WOW!"

Check the klezmer track (#7). Beautifully done, the pipes doing the reedy sound you'd expect in this kind of music.

#10 - Dub question

Does anyone know of another name for "Dub"? I cen't find any ABCs for this tune. By the way, I am learning this whole set, Jizaique-Baby Rory's-Dub on the uilleann pipes so I've decided to transcribe the set and post it here. All most done but wish I had a Dub trancription to compare to.

Re: #10 - Dub question

Maybe it's too late to answer, but I suspect the set in question comes from Michael McGoldrick. He previously recorded Baby Rory's slip jig and Dub reel as his own compositions in "Morning Rory" (http://thesession.org/recordings/display.php/217). He also loves and recorded some Breton tunes, which may be acquired through his friend, Ed Boyd because he was a disciple of Pierre Bensusan.

More than 1?

Is there more than one version of this album? The copy that I have has twelve tracks.

Re: #10 Dub Question

I have the Lunasa, The Music 1996-2001 book and they say that the Dub reel is a variation on The Tap Room.

#5 Gan Ainm

In the Lunasa book they list this unknown by the name of The Boys of Ballisadare.

These guys truely make me sick

I thought Fleur de Mandragore was recorded in a studio until I head the applause at the end. These guys are so tight and they can really jam. Definately one of the best CDs in my collection

Lunasa: Track 5 third tune

What is marked as Gan Anim on Lunasa's Album is probably The Boys of Ballisodare slip jig (after Hogties and promenade)

Tune names and keys?

Hi, can anyone tell me the names of the tunes in "Mi na samhna" on Lunasa's self-titled album, and most importantly, if those are the original keys? Don't worry, I'm planning on trying to learn them by ear.

Thanks!

Of the tunes that I've heard off of this album, I like most of it. Great music, though, track 7, titled "Iuil", I can't stand. Parts of it are OK, but not something I would listen to very often and then that chromatic part makes it worse. Other than that, what I've heard it all good

Bealtaine Track 3

Is called The Boys of Ballysodare jig
