Oh I love these trad, timeless sounds! What phenomenal musicianship! Crazy energy - fantastic spirit! The atmosphere really comes across in this recording - and the applause at the end? That's me!!
Fabulous sounds, Sir FS!
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone

I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…
I'll thank and type Paul MacDonald one more time. Maybe he'll google his name and have a bit better chance of landing here for his R&C's. I like this a lot, Kirk.

Hey, I even clapped at the end. Just couldn't help myself. Wonderful suite. The minor keyed opening had me smiling with a tear in my eye. Hugely enjoyed this. Glad you scrounged it up. Sounds good and feels good.
This is a mess but when we tried to clean it up it killed the spirit of it so we decided to just take off our critics hat and just enjoy the energy of it.

My baby say she loves me. Gonna love me forever…
Recorded in 2001; me on guitars and vocals and Frank Reynolds, the drummer from my most recent band, on drums. Drums recorded in our barn's hayloft onto three tracks of a cassette four-track recorder (along with a scratch guitar track), then transferred…
The chorus of this groove is in 5/4 and the verse in 9/4. You can hear me fall apart at the very end… guess I got worried.
Lyrics:
*Try not to get worried*
*I am with you always*
*Try not to get worried*
*And don’t forget*
*Simply…
Hanging out in the living room with one of my sons, just making stuff up. I wish I'd had the recorder closer to him - whistle too loud, guitar too soft.

Great playing, the different instruments blend together wonderfully. Wish I could say I had played on NPR!
Boy ... This is GOOD!
Kirk, this is super. Lowland pipes go staight to my soul.
...wow...love it
Love it ... shared it on Facebook as I'm sure some of my friends would like it too ...
What Sister said and double it! :) Mighty fine fiddling, pipes and whistle!
These live performances are just outstanding. Please, please, please keep digging them up and sharing them with us!

beautiful playing and overall sound, incredible arrangement!
such rich sounds. a pleasure to hear this.
Really liked that, I've had you on for the last hour or so, very pleasant
Some nice spacey fx on this, reverb and echo delicately used.
Wow, great, I've heard stuff like this before but it's usually by Irish folk, and it's really cool, love it.
very well done kirk
Man this hits home. I love this. So awesome! Thanks for posting this!

What a great way to start catching up on my listening backlog! Really enjoyed listening to this.

Spacey and spacious. You worked that delay to near exhaustion. Good for you. Much Enjoyed.

Lovely stuff there! Missed this one somehow
Nice! I'm digging the raw edge to this one, especially that guitar stuff at around 3 minutes.
Well- that kicks some ass. Nice transition into the mellower part as well.
Very enjoyable. Maybe I have a case of that insanity
Beautiful stuff man! This in one of those Hedges C tunings?
Makes me wish I had a guitar that had a decent twang bar on it. Nice work!
Yeah- I'm digging this one for sure!
Beautiful track!
Sweet!
Very nice! Really dig that LO Fi guitar sound in the solo
Excellent! What a fun track!
Damn nice groove!
Wonderful! I'm stealing that tune!
Excellent! Great vocals and love the guitar work!
Nice! Love the interplay between the synth and vocal lines!
Beautiful!
Interesting note choices. I like!
Sweet!
Interesting sounds. Nice!
Found myself getting quite lost in this!
