I think I met Emer's Mother Geraldine and Sister Tara this past weekend. What a talented family! We had two great nights listening to Tara play and talking with her family. 'Wonderful people'!
Maith thú a chailin. Bhi sin go hAlainn. I see Kevin got a mention and a fine banjo player, he is too. I heard him play many's the time in Doolin. The first time I heard him, he was arguing with John King as to how a certain tune started. I finally shouted "Just play the bloody thing" and they did. It was magic.
Why is everybody including Miss Howley changing the second bar of the tune. It is clear from the playing of the composer , Junior Crehan that he is playing different notes.
Very nice job Emer! Lovely. Can someone name these tunes? Also a technical question -- are you lightly resting the heel/palm of your right hand on the bridge for stabilization?
@edelahaye I also play, but not in a band. I started with the guitar in France, when I was 18, and some years ago took up the bouzouki and the tenor banjo. My problem is that I don't play enough, and I don't learn well in sessions: too many people, and most with a background in Irisn music which I hardly have. I plan to get a good banjo, a Deering as a friend suggested, and focus on that and the bouzouki. I live in Cambridge UK. And you?
@edelahaye Ah, Francais ou Irlandais? j'ai habite Reims il y a 17 ans et un de mes amis la jouais de la flute traversiere irlandaise. Il aplein de potes en Bretagne et a Paris qui pratiquent cette musique. Peut-etre est il dans vos connaissances? Il s'appelle Gilles Valentin...
This young lady needs to get a UA-cam channel up and running!
