Hut on Staffin Island Set

In this video we're playing one of our new tune sets, which starts off with a composition by Scottish accordion player Phil Cunningham called "Hut on Staffin Island." We're playing it here as a slow reel in the key of G (it was originally written in D), then follow it with the well-known tune "Cregg's Pipes," and finish off with a great reel called "Father Kelly's." This video was recorded at the McKinney Farmers' Market at Chesnut Square on April 24, 2010.

Flashpoint http://www.myspace.com/flashpointtx is a trio of young Texan musicians playing the traditional music of Ireland. Members include Joseph on flute, whistle, and guitar, David on fiddle, guitar, and piano, and Daniel on banjo, mandolin, whistle, and bodhran (drum).

[TheHeartwood]

excellent choice of tunes and superbly played. What make is the banjo that Daniel is playing is a vintage one ?

[misterdaviddude]

@TheHeartwood Thanks!  Yes, Daniel does indeed have a vintage banjo. It is a Paramount 1925 Model A, if I remember correctly.
