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.
