I have to come back and listen to this every now and again, just because I can't get it out of my head. The two lads are just brilliant together.

Easily the best version I have ever heard

well said, Stuart. Understated and elegant, and tempo is perfect, too. Simply superb.

Great players

[@Melvorgazh]

Reminds me of John Doyle in a slightly more relaxed way.
Does anyone know an album with 2 giotár players, 1 flatpicking and 1 backing on most of the tracks?
Maybe with a few songs in between the sets of Irish or Celtic trad?
The Giotár is not too new in Irish trad nowadays, too me it truly was adopted. 🙂
The backer vaguely reminds me of late Micheál Ó Domhnaill in his style.

[@tomweekes5602]

Beautiful tunes. Melody on the guitar is great and accompaniment on the other wow. Conal playing standard tuning (I think)!

[@Cranaboy]

Thanks! I'm actually using Drop D here; you can still do all the cool stuff from standard, and the low D comes in handy!

[@tomweekes5602]
