Two hornpipes from my end of semester performance for the MA Irish Traditional Music Performance at the Irish World Academy, University of Limerick.
Thank you to Vincent Fogarty for the great accompaniment on bouzouki 🙏🎶💚
🎵 The Good Natured Man : I associate this hornpipe with the playing of Tim Collins and Brian McNamara, who recorded it on their brilliant album "Reed Only". I first learned it with my friend Gilles Tabary (flute player), on one on his visit to Doolin. I have enjoyed playing this hornpipe for many years now and it is still one of my favourites, which I particularly enjoy playing with Adrian McMahon, flute player from Kilfenora.
🎵 McGivney's Fancy : A hornpipe associated with Éamon McGivney, a great fiddle player from Co. Longford originally but resident of West Clare for many years and one of the directors of Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy since the early 1980s. It has been one of my favourite hornpipes for many years now and I loved playing with my friend JB Samzun on fiddle. I first learned this hornpipe from a great recording of James Kelly, Paddy O’Brien and Daithi Sproule called “Traditional Music of Ireland”. Hugh Healy also recorded a great version of “McGivney’s Fancy” on his recent album “Ceolaire”.
Recorded on 1st December 2021
