Selection of reels from Huas Workshop and Learners session 12th March 2015

The Mountain Road/Cregg's Pipes

Fiddle & Banjo: Tunes from the North, Songs from the South is the collaboration of fiddler Karrnnel Sawitsky, and banjo player Daniel Koulack. Karrnnel is the most decorated fiddler in Saskatchewan’s history, but is best known for pushing traditional music into a modern context, both with his own recordings, and with the his String Quartet, The Fretless. Daniel is a multi-instrumentalist who has worked in a variety of musical styles, which are reflected in his own recordings of original banjo music, but also has a deep knowledge and love for the traditional repertoire.

The Further In the Deeper

A selection of traditional Irish Reels, The Tarbolton, The Longford Collector & The Sailor's Bonnet played by Huas Duo Sinead Hayes (Fiddle) and Neil Macdonald (guitar) www.huasmusic.com

Irish Reels: The Tarbolton Set

The first reel in this set was written by the prolific composer and accordionist, Paddy O’Brien (1922-91), from Newtown in Co. Tipperary. I learned it from banjo player, Theresa O’Grady, in one of the many sessions that we have played at the South Sligo Summer School in Tubbercurry, one of my homes-away- from-home. A favourite of Sligo fiddlers, Michael Coleman (1891-1945), and James ‘Lad’ O’Beirne (1911-80), ‘The Flowery Fields of Scotland’ is a reel that I associate with the great Brian Rooney from Kiltyclogher in Co. Leitrim. He recorded it as ‘Brian Rooney’s’ on The Goldfather in 1998, and it appears on the album Within a Mile of Kilty (2005) under the title listed here. ‘The Sailor on the Rock’ is a popular reel that appears as tune #559 in O’Neill’s 1001 or The Dance Music of Ireland (1907) under the curiously enigmatic title of ‘Johnny with the Queer Thing’. Now for you!
