Silver Spear / Maid Behind the Bar / Mountain Road

After special psychological techniques (in other words, blackmail) I was able to convince my brother to accompany me with the guitar, once again, as I play the whistle ;)

What you hear is the following reels: "The Silver Spear", "The Maid Behind the Bar" and "The Mountain Road".

FAQ:
- SORRY for looking so often to the side. The TV was ON and I was distracted... And I don't know why I have such a serious face in this video :P
- The guy that pops up behind the glass door is Alexandre, he got interested in what was going on :)
- The last reel is not very audible because it's played mostly in the lower register... The guitar overwhelms the whistle :)
- Yes I can play these reels faster than this ;) Yes we can play better than this but my brother's availability is a "once every six months" kind of thing so we never practice together :(

Lucky, that you have a brother so naughty as to be easily blackmailed! ;)

How did you come to be interested in Irish music? Do you live in the U.K.?

My Irish-music-band friend has instructed me to study you and learn.

@gracefulfish No, i live in Portugal. Don't know why i got interested, i just did :P Good luck on your learning!

You sound great!

[cesarpim]

Yes, it's a Dixon Trad.

Thanks for the compliment.
