new recording

Hello guys,

here you have a recording of myself on my Aebi/Bicego/Gallagher D set. Two reels, and I used only the tenor drone and the bariton reg. Sound quality is not the best as i used a zoom h4n digital recorder…SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds
I would be happy to read your comments.

And if you like them, please add a like on my facebook page :thumbsup:

all the best!

You have a pleasant, unhurried, flowing style. And it is refreshing to be reminded just how much music one can make with a single regulator.

Is that second tune The Commodore? I’ve been working on that tune recently. Nice how you navigate that Fn sequence in the B part.

Cracking playing and beautiful tone :slight_smile:

Please could you tell me what the first tune is called?

It’s a version of the Shannon Breeze isn’t it? Or Crossing the Shannon, whatever name it has.

I think you really got into your stride on the second tune and I enjoyed the nice bouncy style at a good steady tempo :thumbsup:
All the best,
Mike Delta

I know the first reel as The Funny Reel, and you can hear it in Joe Burke album “The Funny Reel” :slight_smile:
I learnt it in a session in Cork city. I don’t know the name of the second one.
Thanks for the comments!

I got it from a concertina recording long ago, one of Tommy McMahon and Bernard O Sullivan. They called it the Kilrush Races. O’Neill had it as the Shannon Breeze but it’s more common as Crossing the Shannon or Across the Shannon in Clare. It seems to go around among concertina players a good bit, Jack Talty and Cormac Begley recorded it recently as well.

I always found the h4n to be a great audio recorder. It gives a very flat response which can be coloured in post.

You see a lot of pro and semi pro videographers using these.

Is that Tom (Aebi’s) Kennedy style chanter?

Yes Brazenkane, it’s a 4 keys Kennedy model, with my own reed.
