2 reels and 1 jig: The Road to Errogie/The Banshee/Knocknamoe

Hi!

I decided to record something again, to show my relatively new whistle - Kerry Pro Low F.

The first song is called The Road to Errogie, and I try to play Flooks´s interpretation of it, as you hopefully can see : )

The second reel, The Banshee, I learned from TinWhistler, here on youtube.

The last tune is a jig I learned from a video of Michael Mcgoldrick´s playing, the Knocknamoe jig.

an mhaith ar fad! dia leat

[abraxas123]

I am curious what this means, can you give me an english translation? : )

[feilimb]

It loosely means 'Very good altogether, fair play to ya' :) 'Dia leat' literally translates as 'God to you' but is used in not such a religious context - while listening to a live song/music and it is also what you say to someone after they sneeze!

[abraxas123]

Aha! Thank you for the nice comment and the gaelic lesson : )

great playing!!

My only critque would be that on the B part of the road to errogie you always play that opening phrase the same way. while its a lovely phrase the ear picks up on it very easily and so that is an opportunity to do some variation that the audience will notice :)

the first one that comes to my mind would be:

(on a D whistle) degd/egag/abba/gggd...etc.etc.

[abraxas123]

Thanks for the tip. I will add some variations to the B-part. I still have quite a lot to learn from great whistle players like yourself, I guess. My technique, timing and variation skills will hopefully improve over time, as I am still quite fresh on the low whistle and flute.

Very nice dude! I like your interpretiation of Flook's interpretation, cause I really like Flook - hah, that makes sense, doesn't it? xD

Anyways, you're doing very well, there are some mistakes, but your playing the whistle half as long as me and somehow you are way better than me - tell me your secret and keep the good things coming! See you ;)

[theherpman94]
