Blackthorn Stick/Swallowtail Jig/Swallowtail Reel

Bb tin whistle & sofa.

I was too close to the camera and there was a moment of confussion when my mother came in and danced.

I'm bored so I'll comment about the tunes:
-I had a piece of the first jig in my mind, so I searched for it with the ABC searcher on TheSession.org . I found it and learned it. But I forgot about that "a" in bars 5 and 13.
-A friend of mine told me she had just learned the Swallowtail, so I decided to re-learn it. But among other mistakes you can hear I start with "BEE GEE" most of the time instead of "GEE BEE".
-Once I was listening to "The Late Session" on RTÉ.ie and I liked a set of tunes a fiddler, whose name I can't remember, was playing alone. So I transcribed the first tune. It happened to be the Swallowtail Reel in E Dorian, when that reel is normally played in A Dorian. So this is his setting, sorry for stealing it.

P.D. No, we don't have a cat.

Simply Incredible ...

Two guys, a flute, and a sofa can make me sit and head-bang more than a lot of the metal music I listen to ;D

This video never fails to put me in a good mood. Same with the Hip Angus Hop/Roaring Barmaid video. :) I find that despite being subscribed to your channel for years now, I always come back and rewatch all my favorites.

Ich liebe es. Kann mir das tausend mal anhören. Mein Körper fängt automatisch an sich zu dem Rhytmus zu bewegen, man kann einfach nicht stillhalten bei dem Lied.

das ist doch mal geile mucke.

wer braucht da noch einen deppen wie dieter bohlen, der aus einem haufen scheiße den größten mist raussucht und den auch noch zu einer menge kohle macht.

leute wie diese beiden sind es, die spaß an der musik haben, und bei denen es spaß macht zuzuhören.

weiter so, und viel erfolg für die nächste zeit
