JB Samzun & Charles Monod - Aughavinna - Irish Traditional Music from Doolin, Co. Clare

Collier’s (The)

“The Collier’s” is a common session tune and one of my favourite reels. I associate this tune with the great Tommy Peoples, but also with my friend John Fitzpatrick, who is a great local whistle player here in Doolin with a style that reminds me very much of Micho Russell.

I recorded this tune with my friend JB Samzun on our album “Aughavinna” which we released in 2020. If you’d like to support Tunes From Doolin you can order a CD or Digital Download Here.

I also published a video of “The Collier’s” on the YouTube channel, you can watch it below!

      Thanks for the comment Martin! Unfortunately I am “only” a melody player and wouldn’t know much about chords 🙁

Humours of Glendart (The)

“The Humours of Glendart” is a common session tune which I learned through various sessions. I associate this tune with the great accordion player from Lisdoonvarna Bobby Gardiner, who lives in Tipperary. It is always a great pleasure to see Bobby on his visits to North Clare and a pleasure to share tunes with him.

Apples in Winter (version)

This is a version of the well-known jig Apples in Winter (standard setting here). I got it from Jack Talty and Aine Bird on the album “Tunes In The Church”, and it comes from the playing of Tom Carey and Solus Lillis I believe.
