Jack Warnock - The King's Shilling

Jack Warnock - Bó Na Leathadhairce

Starting playing tunes last night on two 22 fret tenor banjos then this happened.. both tuned from D down to B, chunky choon!

Stephen McKee - Melody
Jack Warnock - Accompaniment

Jig in D - Jack Warnock and Stephen McKee

Jack - Casadh an tSugain

I learned this song from a recording of Liam Clancy, and think it was one of the first songs I ever sang in a session - or in public at all!

This song is particularly special to me because of both its story and the fact that it's one of the only songs that my sister and my wee mammy sing with me, in harmony and all! Telling the story of the Dutchman who is senile, and his wife Margaret who takes care of him, it's a story about unconditional love in the face of hard times. Michael Peter Smith wrote the song in the late 60s, and some say the song became more famous than him. Enjoy!

The Dutchman

This is a song I've been singing for a few years now, which I got from a recording of Paul Brady on the famous 'Blue Album' with Andy Irvine. I hope it helps pass the time a bit easier with everything how it is at the moment.
