Description

4 May 2023. Bill Black is very well-known in Irish music circles for - among other things! - his advocacy of Irish music, his tireless work in collecting tunes, converting them to ABC format and making them available to players world wide via his incredible website, http://capeirish.com

***NB Printable versions of tab used in these videos are available to download for free at my website, TheIrishMandolin.com - follow the link to "learn some tunes".***

Notated, tabbed for mandolin and played on his Belmuse EM-190 electric mandolin by Aidan Crossey. More on this and many other tunes from the Irish musical tradition at www.TheIrishMandolin.com - follow the link to "learn some tunes".
