Irish Song & Jigs: Cold Blow and the Rainy Night

Firstly, a song I learned from Planxty. I really like the lyrics of the first verse, sucha cheery description of his misery.

At the end, I follow with two jigs, "Tripping Up the Stairs" and "Father O'Flynn's". Since I was in the mood, I also added bouzouki, guitar and harmonica, but I couldn't be bothered to make any video of that, so it's just music.

Comments are welcome:)

@mrmeister1991 Thanks:) How long have I been playing... depends on the instrument. Harmonica for 5 years, guitar for three-and-a-half years, concertina and bouzouki for just over a year.

Saschakreher My concertina is a Stagi G/D, so I can play tunes in Dmajor without trouble. On a C/G, you can only play that tune if you have a 30-key instrument, otherwise you can't make the C sharp that appears a lot in these tunes.

fantabulous ... many thanks ... good stuff!

@TijnB42 Yes. My C/G was a present and I didn't know that it is also available as G/D. Well so I have to practice some more G-tunes and the next one has to be a 30key. Thank you.
