I don't know why, but i somehow love Irish national music!

[AltoViola1]

I really like this music and he's playing very very good!

@bingturkby I've heard various folks call the tune "Sackows", although Americans universally call it "Tripping Up the Stairs" (or "Tripping Upstairs"). Never heard the third tune that I know of, under any name, although it has bits that call to mind various tunes which it's not.

Unfortunate playing in any case. I like Savall's playing in other styles, but this sounds like he's reading the tunes off a piece of sheet music and putting in some stock early-music ornamnents. Shame.

Is the video frozen for anyone else? .__.

@hallbagger Yes, the first tune is definitely Tripping Upstairs

[MrWeluvit]

@olivertheaverage It is, and it's a good one!

[olivertheaverage]

is this a cd?

[hallbagger]

I think these are in reverse order: Tripping Upstairs, Gusty's Frolics then Sackows. After the break is slowed down reel that I can't quite remember
