Duration: 1 min 42 s
Description: A quick recording of Tam Linn on my 25.5" scale Joe Foley Irish Bouzouki made by Joe Foley from January-April 2015.

A trial version of My Heart’s Tonight in Ireland by Andy Irvine on Fylde Bouzouki for the guys at the Mandolin Cafe; played at the 5th fret, tuning GDAE, in the key of G. It’s recorded straight into the PC mic so very clicky and tinny. The purpose is to help some of the members try to play it… at least that’s the theory.

My Heart’s Tonight in Ireland

This is quite a simplified version of Andy Irvine’s song “Baneasas Green Glade" both from his early Planxty days and later solo albums, as well as the version recorded with Mozaik. Chords are simply Am, Em and D, then Am Em and D followed by Am Em G Am, back to G C Em and Am. 
The verse: “We’d sit in our Glade” goes: Am Dm Dm Am Am G Em Am. - We’d sit Am in our glade Dm till the heat Dm of the day Am walk down Am to the zoo G to sit Em to play Am. An easier way to play it than some songbooks suggest, as I say in the track - ignore the key Andy plays in, just find your own preferred pitch. It's a very simple version but quite effective.
