Just listened to Dick's version of The Wild Hills of Wannie. About the same speed overall as I do it, though I start slower, use a lot more rubato, end more definitely waltz-like and put in a lot more notes, as Billy Pigg did. But the question I wanna ask is... what on earth did you do to get the Japanese gagaku music come up as related???

Actually the gagaku sound would fit a standard folk band quite well:

sho -> moothie, concertina or melodeon
ryuteki -> whistle or flute
hichiriki -> smallpipes or uillean pipes with the drones off
Japanese drum -> bodhran

"Etenraku" for your next Irish session?
