CelticMKE Milwaukee Irish Fest Irish Fest Scrapbook School of Music Summer School Ward Irish Music Archives
We had a great time playing tunes at the first Family Session of 2020! Here’s a list of the tunes that we played, to the best of my memory. Feel free to drop the Irish Fest School of Music a note if I missed a tune or mixed up a set.
We Won't Go Home 'Till Morning/Cuz's/Britches Full of Stitches - A major (polkas) Jimmy Wards/Connachtman's Rambles (jigs)
Humors of Tulla/Drowsy Maggie/Mountain Road (reels)
East at Glendart/Out on the Ocean (jigs)
Off to California/Boys of Bluehill (hornpipes)
The Battering Ram/The Blarney Pilgrim (jigs)
Note: most of these link to the versions of tunes listed on thesession.org. Settings on thesession.org may or may not resemble settings played in the Family Session or your local session. When in doubt, ask to record at your session to capture the local versions, and (as always )- listen!
