A lively piece for mandolin and piano - 1969

this version has a rhythm guitar part in accordance with the chord symbols  indicated in the original score

I'm sure the second (slower) section must be a deliberate 'steal' of a very well known theme.

Musician : Dave Lees - Instrument: Paul Shippey "Tone" mandolin (2016) - Titles: The Fisherman's Island / The Fermoy Lasses
Two Irish reels played on a brand new Paul Shippey mandolin. This is a great mandolin, and has given my enthusiasm for playing a huge boost.
The first reel is one of the many tunes composed by Ed Reavy (1898-1988) a fiddle player born in Co. Cavan who emigrated to the USA at a young age. The second is a traditional tune that's been around for a very long time.

Retired
Wrote a number of short pieces of music - both instrumental and choral - in the 1970s and 80s. Originally trained as a classical violinist. Also guitar (self taught).
Having suffered an injury to my left shoulder I am now unable to hold a violin in position, and have difficulty with a guitar at full stretch, but I find I can manage a mandolin and so am now, though much out of practice, revisiting violin music and playing (and writing) pieces specifically for the mandolin. I hope you find something among my efforts which you enjoy.

Scores and parts are available for most of these pieces; please message me if you want any of them.
