Hi Tina,
You are Awesome!
Ramon.

Great job. Good to see you got the whole band involved there near the end. Irish folk sounds great on uke if you ask me..

There's been an increasing number of ukes used in Irish sessions across the UK. This is a really nice mellow example. Nice to hear ITM (Irish Traditional Music) played at a steadier pace too. Cool. If you want a true idea of if it's acceptable with ITM players, however, you should post it to www.thesession.org, but be prepared - there are some very traditional traditionalists on there too. I play irish box and play a few tunes on uke too. It has a lovely, almost harpish tone and, although it's too quiet for a session setting, works really well for solo accompaniment and individual playing.

That was awesome Tina!

That was awesome. Irish I could play like that.

Very nice job on the tune. "Rights of Man", by the way, is a hornpipe. 4/4 time, but with some swing to the eighth notes.
