Turfman from Ardee - Irish song from the Pratie Heads

We heard the wonderful Peter Bellamy sing this song many years ago. You can find it on our double-cd album called "Early Fare." Bob plays guitar in open tuning. My English concertina is a Wheatstone with rosewood ends. See http://pratieheads for more information and http://skylark2.com to purchase cds.

Wow, thanks so much, our first comment! We'll try to do some more videos soon, they were fun. Best to you. Guess the bog is smaller because there's been so much peat cut out of it?
