My word this is a superb website!

I’ve seen Mr Burke live quite a few times now back in the UK and two of my all-time favourite tunes he played were ‘Itzikel’ and ‘Kitty O’Shea’, so I would love to hear his take on these two tunes. I learnt to play both tunes but there has always been some ‘swagger’ missing from my versions, so any tips would be very useful.

On the other hand, I don’t mind what Mr Burke chooses to play…they’re all an utter joy to watch and study.

As suggested by alanboyce previously, Galway Bay & The Drunken Sailor would be fantastic.

Personally I would love to hear Kevin’s suggestions and tips on how to speed tunes up once the basic melody has been mastered.

Thanks all.

Hi everyone, Paul here. I’m an Englishman abroad at the moment, and probably the only traditional Irish fiddler living in Muscat, Oman (it is a cool 46 degrees here as I write this).

Many thanks to the good people at fiddlevideo.com…what a fantastic resource!
