sorry for what I think is my bow going to slow at :25 or so. also..the double stops especially droning on A while on d string is still a work in progress. I recorded fiddle first when practicing then decided to play around with adding the other tracks later on.

Nice one @GregW - always loved that tune, and have played along a number of times to Pierre's version.

Nice mix, well done, and pleasant listening clap clap clap

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Ahh, I do like an Irish air.

That's a lovely ear-picture you painted there, @GregW - and the drones sound just fine.

What a calm and atmospheric interpretation. Taking the music to another level somehow with the production, image etc. A lovely surprise to come across during our confinement, here in France. I know the tune as Fainne Geal an Lae, from the book of Traditional Irish Airs, by the piper, Tomas O Canainn. Thanks for sharing that with us.......
