Subject: RE: Belfast Tradfest
I play on the slow side and i would play reels at about 196 to 200bpm ,i would play some reels faster than others
The same applies to jigs for example the lark in the morning jig i would play faster than say "the price of my pig"[a mournful sort of tune].
Dave as far as i know plays morris tunes and English dance tunes,
IMO they are pleasant too.
I happen to like some tunes from both genres, and dislike some from both genres, i hope never to hear again the dingles regatta mish mash that Seán Ó Riada was responsible for
