about

Here are a handful of the better solo mandolin recordings I've made over the past few years. You can watch me play all these tunes, among many others, at www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsnpf5HCKhFaiDscoE93Rq8f9h-U9YPYT.

I learned Garrai Na Bhfeileog, a hornpipe also known as The Garden of Butterflies and Poll Ha'Penny, from recordings made by Mary Bergin and Jody's Heaven. The Star Above the Garter is a traditional Irish slide of which I'm particularly fond. The Connaughtman's Rambles jig is a common session tune, and The Britches Full of Stitches is a polka which might be more common at sessions were it not so widely-known. The Full-Rigged Ship, a jig, is in fact a Shetland Islands tune. I learned Chief O'Neill's Favourite from the Dubliners's recording of it.
