It’s been a minute since I’ve been around here but I’ve had this tune on repeat for weeks. Enjoy!
Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh : “Going to the Well for Water” (also called “The Kaiser Slide”)
One of my favorite Julia Clifford tunes and one of my favorite tunes to play. You can hear the Julia Clifford version here and the entire John & Julia Clifford album “The Humours of Lisheen” here.
(and if any fiddle geeks are wondering: that’s a custom instrument from Norwegian luthier Salve Håkedal and the mic is a DPA 4099)

playing a Welsh bowed lyre made by Owen Tudor (19th Century) from the Boston Museum of Fine Art collection
funny how the tune sounds more Scandinavian than Celtic despite geography
