It seems like eons since I shared a video, so while I had the camera out for Andrew H's collab thing I also recorded this, which I've been working on for ages. 

It's inspired (aka copied note for note as far as I can manage) by the Corrs version and I learnt it by listening over and over to their video. I wish I could get it to bounce the way it should, but I just don't seem to be able to get the feel I want (probably because it's at the limits of what I can play, technically). I'm reasonably happy with it though, and continuing to improve it.

It is a Bach Bouree from 2 years ago when I try to get it to play, but I am sure it is fantastic.

@Jim Dunleavy -

What a wonderful surprise! 

I think you did a great job of capturing the feel of Sharon Corr's playing! 

Thanks for sharing this tune & your fiddling, I enjoyed listening - and watching!
