Oh my goodness. This song is home.

Thank you :)

Fabulous

A tune and a half 👌

👌

It reminded me of grandad planting spuds. In the garden when I was a sprout, true midlands men we are

Feckn class, this tune is well saved

What an awesome sound Nigel! Top notch playing too! I'd recommend this to any fiddle fan...

Lovely! Thank you.

Hi really nice tune.! May use this for vlog for our ANZAC memorial and Coronavirus shutdown story please.

I am slowly getting sophie together. enjoyful!

yeah!!

Lovely

Amazing

Just wondering because of the title, is this the same violin song from "Darby O'Gill and the Little People"? Or a completely different one.

Beautiful and sad very much

Dude, I love your playing.

Great job, buddy! Love it.

Superb Playing.

nice twirly bits

Wonderful rendition

wow! that was wonderful!

This is great!

Yesss !

grand playing!

Absolutely lovely! Thank you !

To call this a 'tricky tune' is both apt and kind. I have called it far worse. One must master a lot of 'trick' techniques to do this. Great job!

Excellent playing, I like your sound and your style, very unique and respectful of the tune. Thank you for posting.

OK, very nice, using it for my example collection of "Excellent Fiddle Style," but we don't even get your name! At least you tell us the names of the tunes (which a lot of TH-cam videos don't).

I love it! You are filling the space with just the fiddle

Fine fiddling and very nice ornamentation. My only, mildly, critical comment is to keep rigidly focussed on the beat and don't lose it at the expense of pretty ornamentation. I personally like constructive criticism as it has helped me in the past but I feel a bit uncomfortable posting to someone I do not know who is already doing a fine job a playing these tunes. I also have that fakebook and it rocks as a source of great tunes!

I sure did,hup!!mighty stuff .

I enjoyed that.

Great song & great video :-)

Superbly played and quite an individual sounding style too.

<3

I really enjoyed that. Very nicely played thank you

Thanks - the 1st tune also works slow - hopefully get to putting another version up sometime . . .

nice playing! and those strings sound really nice. great tone.

Thanks Mike, will pass message on to Matt

Thanks Edsel - I'll look those up and try them out

Matt (songwriter/singer) says 'He was a great uncle of Bernie Lyons my father in law. A wanderer who never settled - great fiddler, clock fixer, tried the priest hood but didn't like it, bit of a break down, just kept travelling rough and playing the fiddle. Nobody knows what happened in the end although Bernie did meet him a few times when a child. From County Mayo.'

The version here is based on the one in the Fiddler's Fake Book, and is very similar to the one in O'Neill's. I know a different tune by the same name (don't know where it came from) - maybe I'll record it later.

You da Man! But is that first tune really Pipe on the Hob?

Nice tunes:)

Thanks Many tunes can be found at 'folk tune finder' (do search, can't post the link here) All tunes in this this (FBI) selection come from the Fiddler's Fake Book - (easily ordered online)
