Name: Queen's Recording - Tension on the Shore / Cathair Rua / George White's by Oisín Ó'Murchú
Duration: 4 min 50 s
Description: Few rough and ready tunes myself and Micky Fearon threw together to record for our mate Peter Close's assignment on mic techniques in Queen's University, No mixing uncut - 3/12/2018

Recent composition remembering a local man, Jack Gunn, who frequented our public house in Scotstown. He lived about two miles down the road from us and my father often left him home in the car from the pub in the evening. Sure enough, Jack would usually arrive back on foot into the pub minutes after my father's own return!

Jack's Guning It

Named after two fictitious men living in Co. Monaghan who forged an unbreakable relationship through consuming pints in the local pub. They rented a bank of turf in the bog and shared the load equally. Two mighty men; mad for turf and buying and selling sheep unknownst to themselves! Composed August 2016.

When Gerald Met Fiddler

A hornpipe in the key of G major written 3 years ago in October 2014. Influenced very much by piping music and has more of a feel of a set dance about it than a hornpipe really, aside from the fact that the second part is not lengthened in the fashion of a set dance, which is 12 bars. In particular, I wrote this tune imagining it being played in the style of the duet playing of Peter Carberry and Padraig Mc Govern.
