Subject: RE: Help: How fast to play at irish sessions?
Fioon, I said it was not a good example but I provided a link to a midi of the Silver Sire in the hope it would at least provoke a too fast/ too slow discussion with something as a base point. I set the tempo at 220 for that example.

Rich, I have heard the Moving Cloud at paces well beyond my capability and it has still sounded musical - never forget Chris Sherbourne doing that to me once in a session in Bangor, N Wales - I got my revenge my mixing some polkas with reels - at least I confused him - and all in fun!
