With next Saturday being St Patricks Day I thought I'd get in early with an offering. Post your Paddy tunes here.

My tune is written in 1700's by Turlough O'Carolan the famous blind Irish harper & composer. On listening I should have used a Paddy tuned harp!

Nicely played Aussie. I raise a glass of guinness to you.

One of my first postings on youtube when I returned to playing harp after a long break was an Irish lament (Caoineadh Cu Chulainn) written and played by Davy Spillane on Uilleann Pipes.

I heard this tune on Riverdance and was captivated by it. The harmonica shares the the melancholic aspects of the irish pipes and I have mimicked some of the techniques used on the pipes.

Apologies to anyone who finds the pre-song showing of the harmonica to the camera irritating. It’s played on a G harp :)

Another bit of mockery. Hope this woman doesn't appeal as 'she is not available'. Hope it's not thrown out of the forum for inappropriate content(not blues).

Another good 'un Aussie. What chores? - A pint of Guiness, please.

Honkin. Don't think that new buttlock harp holder will catch on.
