Re: [HG-new] Irish tunesAh, someone after my own heart. Planxty Irwin is a favourite of mine too and one of the first tunes I learned to play on HG (yes, I have the Planxty tape with it on) usually followed by another favourite of sheebeg sheemor (or any of a dozen alternative spelling that abound but you know which one I mean) although that does require a LOT of octave hopping but I rather like it. I do tend to play the more haunting tunes as regards Irish music on the HG.

You should listen to the band Planxty's version featuring Andy Irvine on hurdy-gurdy. The wide tonal range may caus problems, but I love to play it on a low G-chanterelle, starting at the high octave and then moving down the scale. Could be worth to try.

Atholl Highlanders, while Scottish, is a faster march and really good fun to play on gurdy as well. William and I play them together as a set and they make for a nice pairing. Have fun!
