Very enjoyable although I like bluegrass music the roots of many songs are here in the UK. You mention a Stephen Sibbald. I met a Stephen Sibbald at Lorient, France in 1992.He was busking on a fiddle. He was about 6 foot 3 .
He was an excellent artist , would this be the same guy? He would be about 40 now.
I would like to contact him. Hope you do not mind my enquiry? paintinatube.
I play it on fiddle as well (been playing about 7 months now) and I can actually play it faster on fiddle than violin! Important to get the bowing right - short bow, loose wrist and down at the base of the bow - good exercise! :-)
Lovely played tune, thx 4 that. And the Mandolin sounds great!!
W'ere gonna play the tune today in combination with "The Banshee" as a set of 2 on our regular session in Holland Zeddam.

Thanks for this, lovely performance.
I'd not heard the tune before; the relaxed pace is all the better for getting me started with it on fiddle. Now I've got to speed up!

Are you playing downstrokes on every note there?

No - downstrokes mainly on the upper strings (to get the power) and up-and-down on the lower strings - mainly... :-)
