That was lovely, Sharp. Thank you. I don't know what it is, but Irish music always makes me feel happy. My dad many, many years ago was a tenor and, although most of the pieces he sang were from opera, plus traditional Welsh songs, he always included a few Irish songs, as well - delighted everyone.

I'd love to hear some more of your renditions if and when you get the time, particularly some lovely Irish ballads. Thanks again.

Enjoyed your performance Sharp, relax as much as you can, hopefully quite a lot, I won`t mind at all if it produces songs like this one. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing and ATB. jackoj.

Sharp,

I too enjoyed your playing. The second part of the music was haunting and very beautiful. It reminded me of part of the Shostakovitch Jazz Waltz.

Please give us some information as to the origin of your piece.

Sharp,

Many thanks! Its been a few years now since I worked for a Kells technology company. I was introduced to several musical experiences around Ireland but most memorable was Morans Oyster bar in Kilcolgan. Great singing from my Irish companions around the table but the surprise was on me when the table got rapped and all eyes were on me the sole Scotsman! I was not expecting that but on pain of paying for the next few rounds I sang Tom Paxton's Rambling Boy.

That night was also memorable as it let me hear first hand the wonderful songs of Foster and Allen and the Fureys well sung by folk I knew but did not know were accomplished singers.

I do hope you post more of such material.

Ian

lol... Well in all fairness, all Irish think of the Scottish as brothers, so while you might have been away from home, you were most certainly at home with those Irish folk.

History runs deep and so does the Celtic spirit that both our people have share with each other.

Cheers

Sharp.
