beautiful celtic piece,i noticed through the cheers that you are playing for a crowd, where have you traveled to play? One of my dreams is to go to ireland and play in front of a crowd, or a bar :)

Hi @116connor,

thank you for your comment!... I was playing in Florence (Tuscany- Italy) for an Open Mic at the Folk Club "Six Bars Jail"!...

Stay well and good luck for all what you want!...

Thanks for the comment on Sligo Creek. I only wish I could play mine as well as you and Cheetham do. This "water is wide" arrangement sounds great.

And most relaxing to hear.

English or Scots - not Irish - folk song from 1600s, so says Wikipedia.
