Session - Green Fields of Glentown

A clip from a session in Oviedo. Dolfu r. Fdez, Pepín de Muñalén, Stephanie Swanton, Sarah Jones, Borja Vazquez, Alberto Ablanedo.

the first tune is The Porthole of the Kelp by Bobby Casey, I think we got it from a Catriona MacDonald album.

The second is The Green Fields of Glentown (traditional).

The third is A Tune for Emily Ball, who was a cook in a fiddle course that Aidan O'Rourke (the composer)taught and Sarah Jones (the fiddle player on the left) attended. The tune is quite dear to her, I guess.

The last one is Ornette's Trip to Belfast by Donald Shaw.

Thanks to all the people who helped with tune names!

@rick83120 the session is an incredible resource for anything folky.  :)

[rick83120]

Is this Oviedo, Spain or Florida?

[rick83120]

Absolutely amazing set. I was really happy to be able to find the sheet music to "A Tune For Emily Ball" on The Session website.
