Anatomy of a "roll" in Irish traditional fiddling
This may be of use to some of you - what constitutes a 'roll' ornament. I often read different explanations of rolls in Irish music, and there are different ways of playing them, so I thought I’d do a progressive ‘build-up’ type of explanation.
Using a short phrase from the ‘Flogging Reel’ , 1st setting, bar 5 :
"The richest person is not the one who has the most,
but the one who needs the least."

Good illustration of the roll Jim.

Yes, thank you Jim.
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - 
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)
