Haste to the Wedding (fiddle)

Here's "Haste to the Wedding" on the fiddle, the popular Irish jig in D. I decided to learn "Haste to the Wedding" after hearing this traditional tune played by The Corrs, though I play it in the traditional way instead of a "Celtic rock" version.

"Haste to the Wedding" is one of the few Irish jigs to make it into the Appalachian fiddle tradition.

This is my own arrangement.

@maddie1363 You're in Ireland, right? An actual Irish person telling me my Haste to the Wedding is good is incredibly flattering. Thanks!

@japecan Thank you so much! I got it like that by playing along with the Corrs, and combining that with the jig-playing advice given to me by my fiddlehangout　dot com friend Dick Hauser.

ye i,m Irish but I assure you my friend your version of Haste to the Wedding is as good as any i have heard here in Ireland ,including the Corrs version,i tried learning it from a video of The Corrs performing it on u tube but with the mix of other instruments it was hard to follow ,yours is crystal clear

thanks to you i now have a good grasp of the tune.Some of the U.S fiddlers ive heard are incredibly talented, bluegrass etc. keep up the good work my friend
