Paddy's Trip to Scotland

An Irish reel played on English concertina.

The triplets are played using three fingers 3-2-1 (where 1 is the index finger) because they are all preceded by the same note - i.e. the sequence of a quaver (eighth note) followed by a triplet is played with fingers 1-3-2-1.

Notes for the tune can be found here:

though I learnt it from Dervish's Boys of Sligo recording (first tune).

Interested in your 3 finger triplet technique - must give it a try. Mever come across this before: always used the standard 2 finger method...

Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some 1920's trading cards of musical instruments, including the Concertina.

Great playing. It´s a Donegal tune and also works fine on the fiddle. I learned that from the recording 'Fiddlesticks' and Altan make too a fine version of it. Like the triplets & the explanation. :)

All the best.
