Subject: RE: Folklore: Carickfergus From: GUEST,Triplane Date: 28 Jan 14 - 06:31 PM A haunting melody and some nice memorable phrases that folks can relate to . We performed it unrehearsed with Guanjo vocal and mouthie(harp) at local pub session to "unfolky" folks and got great unnexpected applause. |
