Name that tune!

Irish Flute

Can anyone name the tune/tunes he is playing? Sounds really cool and I would like to learn it.

Thanks !

The first one is Strike the Gay Harp albeit in typical Sylvain Barou fashion.

Good ears!

I never would have guessed, but now that you say it , he is playing it a bit differently.

Thanks alot for the help!

I may know a different version of Strike the Gay Harp, as the one I know is a 3 part in D. What Sylvain is playing there I know as a two part Bm jig called Mulvihill’s.

Junior Bear is right:

Strike the Gay Harper: http://thesession.org/tunes/1216

Mulvihill’s. Also known as Three Halfpence A Day.

Isn’t Sylvain great though…

Ah! So it is!

I stand happily corrected.

Thanks gents. :slight_smile:

I assume that’s the politically incorrect version ? :poke:

Best wishes.

Titled in O’Neill’s as Strike the Young Harp, btw…

… where it is C rather than the nowadays more usual D. Not that that matters, since it isn’t the tune in question. :slight_smile:

Wha…? Oh, say it ain’t so.

“It ain’t so.” Happy?

Well, now I’m going to have to go back and actually read the *%#@ thing. So, no.
