Tablature: Magowan's Jig Linked by Jo Ban 11 years ago
Tablature: Newmarket Polka Linked by jkacur 11 years ago: I'm proposing another name for this piece could be "A Study in the Alternate-String Pull-Off" :)
	Music for a Found Harmonium Linked by Tom Hanway 11 years ago: This quirky tune from the Penquin Cafe Orchestra has found its way into mainstream Irish and Celtic music as a reel. I've put it back to its original keys, and it can be capoed up two or four frets.
	Playing at the Irish Rover in Hamburg, Germany Linked by jkacur 11 years ago: Quick glimpse of me playing at my favourite Irish pub in Hamburg. Cheers!
	Take Five Linked by Tom Hanway 11 years ago: This tune has found its way into Irish traditional music circles, and I play it regularly with James Wickham (button accordion) at the Cryan's session in Carrick on Bannow, Co. Leitrim.
Tablature: Sooka Flanagan Linked by jkacur 11 years ago: Here's a song related to "Greenfields of America" Cheers!
MP3: Mason's Apron, The - from Complete Book of Irish & Celtic 5-String Banjo Linked by Tom Hanway 11 years ago: A companion track to Complete Book of Irish & Celtic 5-String Banjo, notice the ascending Barney McKenna (Dubliners) variation in the A part. 3 well-known parts here, but there are always more parts!
Tablature: Cooley's Linked by jkacur 11 years ago: Really fun tune, common at sessions, a little bit tricky to play in melodic clawhammer style. Enjoy!
Tablature: Off To California Linked by jkacur 11 years ago: Standard Repertoire tune, nothing fancy. Comments are always welcome though, enjoy!
