Wow Sorcha, that'd be great! Or do you do Paltalk? be cool to hear you there? Mind you, the time everyone in the US is on, it's well past my bedtime (since we're 5 hours ahead of you).

Be interested to hear how you play. One of the tunes I play is "King of the Fairies" which I learnt off Dave Swarbrick's recording (and a bit of sheet music :-), but whilst all the ornamentation sounds right for him, it didn't feel right for me, so I play it much more pared-down now, although at roughly his kind of pace. A friend also plays it (I often accompany him on guitar for it) and he tends to do it quite fast, almost exactly as it's written on the page. Both of us learnt off the same recording. How much of that kind of thing is personal preference, how much is regional variations, and how much is in how the tune "should" be played? cos I'd rather play it "my" way than the "right" way, given the choice.

Grab.
