Irish / Scottish fiddle at Heinhold's Pub in Oakland, video by Triple Spiral Productions

J.O.Forbes of Corse / St. Anne's Reel performed by Brian Theriault and Skip henderson at Historic Oakland Pub, Heinhold's First and Last Chance. Both Brian and Skip play weekly at Quinn's Lighthouse, about a mile away, and then (most of the time) end up here. These tunes are traditional Irish/Scottish tunes played on fiddle and accordian.

Heindhold's First and Last Chance is known for being Jack London's "Local Pub." Surrounded by modern office buildings, it has survived with a character all it's own. You're not drunk, the floor actually IS slanted from the 1906 earthquake. Brought to you by Triple Spiral Productions.

@333spiral - oh, you can play any of them in an Irish way (though it'd be a bit of a shame as Scottish, Cape Breton, and French-Canadian are all truly lovely styles and I wish i could play in any of them) -- also, I'm not personally sure if it's French-Canadian, or Cape Breton (I've been told "definitively" both), so I'm not going to go round telling people it's one or the other. :) Brian and Skip play them lovely nonetheless! Nice vid, btw!

@zinalee Thanks...it's hard enough to get these guys to sit in one place for a video on the morning after Quinn's, much less have them tell me the history of the tune, although I suspect they would surrender to the latter easier than doing another of the former. :)

Neither tune is Irish, but lovely playing from the lads. :)

@zinalee Thanks for the correction.....Although one of them is Scottish, what would be EVEN better than pointing out the impropriety of the title, is telling folks that it (St. Anne's Reel) is of French-Canadian origin. :)

Friggin" GREAT!!!

@333spiral - LOL! I'll bet! It was worth your (and their) aggravation, though.

Wow, this really makes me think of Cape Breton! Great playing. Nice production all around, right down to the credits.

Great shooting. Great playing. Fantastic tune selection. Love the smile on Skip when he launches into St. Anne's. Thanks, fellas. It's a home run.
