Thread Name: Tune Req: The Bucks (favourite version)
Subject: Tune Req: The Bucks (favourite version)
As I look over my shoulder these days and see the old boy with the scythe and salt shaker making ground fast up the home straight, I have become a tad introspective regarding music. I enjoy most genres and have my favourites in them all, classical, traditional and some modern jazz, pop, but I have always preferred traditional folk music.
In my life I have attended many concerts and unofficial sessions and of course the internet has opened many doors, but I've come to the conclusion that "The bucks of Oranmore" played Here      by Noel Hill is the finest interpretation of a traditional tune that I have ever heard. The complexity of the tune beside the masterful playing is sheer magic.
In this recording the effect on the audience can be shared by all who listen...….Any other favourite renditions of this great tune?
