Another lively tune by the blind irish harp player Turlough O'Carolan:

Hope you enjoy it!

Lovely work Wilfried, these tunes work beautifully on the ukulele. Thanks also for the recent e-books, I am enjoying them very much.

That was awesome, Wilfried! Really enjoyed your arrangement and playing, and thanks for the tab.

O'Carolan's music seems really well suited to the uke, as does Celtic and Irish music in general.

What is that feather thingee you have on your mic?

Thanks, Campbell and itsme!

Yes, irish (and celtic) music works fantastic with the uke, I'll probably have to make more e-books with celtic music.

The "feather thingee" is a Wolf windshield covering a Zoom H1. Without the windshield this recording wouldn't have worked at all, it was quite a bit windy.

Best Regards
Wilfried

Thanks! Ah, O'Carolan was such a great musician. Just now reading more of his tunes, all waiting to be played on the uke
