#47 Burns March, played here on the Hammered Dulcimer, English Concertina & Fiddle. I couldn't resist using my Bari/Treble on this one, as there's a wonderful opportunity to use a few Bari notes in the 2nd half. This is the only composition in the Irish wire-strung harp repertoire similar in structure to Ceòl Mór that is documented with intact formal variations. It was collected by Edward Bunting, further along the Causeway Coast here, in the late C18th. Cheers, Dick

#48 ~ Carolan's Welcome
Played here on Hammered Dulcimer, English Concertina, Fiddle & Tin Whistle.
Composed by Turlough O'Carolan (1670 - 1738), he had it listed simply as #171. It was actually The Chieftains who gave it the title we all know it by today, for they adapted it as theme music on the occasion of Pope John Paul II's historic visit to Dublin in 1979 & the title has been used universally since then.
It appears on The Chieftains 9 album: Boil the Breakfast Early.
Cheers, Dick

#54 Hi,
This is our group - Scad The Beggars performing live in the President Andrew Jackson Marquee at the 24th Annual Broadisland Gathering held in Ballycarry, Northern Ireland, last Saturday.
Gave me an opportunity to expose my Baritone / Treble to public scrutiny.
Cheers, Dick
