Last Nights Fun Live
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90’s. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle. Rodger Landes on Bouzouki and Connie Dover on keys. Nothing really special about the first 3 tunes, but I always did like the arrangement we pulled off on the last tune in the set.
Love it, "Look at your list" Ha ha ha!

When I hear these tracks, I always feel I missed out on some great times. But, having said that, the atmosphere comes through and the music is superb. Long live folk!!
I just love the atmosphere these tracks have, such good fun. What a fantastic night out!
Wonderful! I do an Irish duet with a fiddle player every St. Patty's day, and I know how exacting this kind of music can be. When it's this good, it's a pure delight to listen to.
Impossible not to want to clap along...super infectious and fun :) Plus the quality is amazing for having previously been on cassette.
oh yes what a way to start my late Saturday:) thanks for sharing!
I never realized until listening to this, but a song by a band I love (Black 47) is based on this tune. nár lagaà dia do lámh
This track jist reminds me of how good Irish and Scottish music is, It has a great fun factor to it. I dare anyone who listens to it not to smile or tap their feet. Excellent work Kirk bet you had some awesome times playing live!!.
Great stuff! Beautiful melodies, played wonderfully - kinda makes you want to get up and jump around for a bit. ;)
What wonderful fun and such amazing musicianship. I wish Tess and I were there! I like the sound of your front woman, she's very entertaining. Oh wow, well played!
As always, Fantastic! Sounds like it was a fun night for sure!
I Just realized that I hadent clicked the Follow Button for you... I nearly missed this... Utterly Sublime Mr Lynch. I aspire to learn to play like this! Freaking AWESOME!
thanks for not letting it deteriorate off the cassette. pleasantries abound !
very wonderful,,, a teat for the ear,, heart,, and intellect( i enjoy visualizing the notes while they dance about on the different instruments, while complex it is also very distinct and clear to the ear as i follow along) what is the bouzouki?,, on my third listen.... very captivating,,,, please put up more,,,,and finally being a solo person,, i am amazed at how well you all work together,,, wow to you all,, well well played Richard
you read my descriptions and you're still asking me if I know the name of that tune? Haha...I'm pretty sure I got it from you! Galtee Rangers might be one of them...
crackin' set and yes that closer is a firey* arrangement - nice one! the adjective of fire?
Man, brings back some nice memories (except for Dugger's snoring)...I always thought you guys had some great arrangements. I miss you playing the pipes, I don't miss me playing the pipes.
Sweet Baby J. Great stuff!
Amazing!! Thank you!
... "Which one?" "Look at your list!" Oh, man ... haven't laughed that hard in days. A metonym for a magic moment! This is so great! Love that you uploaded this. I long to learn what I need to learn so I can one day play some of this music, myself. Sometimes, one forgets what one wants to do, and the rush of an inspiring reminder is the most wonderful feeling. Thing is ... there's a lot to learn to play this music, as well as this music is played, here in this beautiful track, and I think a lot of it is almost beyond knowing. Unless one can somehow learn to be open to the ineffable ... maybe. Don't know yet!
You cannot beat a good jig ,I got hooked on them when I heard the 'Mooncoin jig' on the Lp Commoners Crown by Steeleye Span in the 70's.They,like the blues are deceptive ihn that they seen at first sight simplistic in their arrangement and structure BUT the true complexity of them lies in the virtuosity and interperetation of those playing them. This is an impressive little set and I'm hooked again !
PS - Woooooooooooo-hoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
A complete treat! Wooooooooo-hooooooooo!
I don't know a jig from a reel but this is fun! Kavin
