SEISIUN -Air & Reels

An air written by whistle player/fiddler Scott Mettey to celebrate the 50th birthday of friend and Seisiun bandmate P/M Joe Brady.  Then three sprightly reels to carry the set away.  The first is The Star of Munster, followed by Throw It Across The Road, then All-Ireland box champion Mike O’Hanlon slides in to jam on The Silver Spear!

A Maid Went to Comber

Great song from The Lonely Stranded Band that tells the all too familiar tale of an Irishman talking a young woman into brushing off her work so he can chat her up!  When will they ever learn?!  Comber is in Co. Down in the North of Ireland.

Scott Mettey – Morning Jig

Multi-Instrumentalist Scott Mettey offers a little snippet to show how one can multi-track with various Irish instruments.
