Really enjoyed that. The section around 2:15 was so haunting – the chords with the 'crushes'. And those fiddle ornaments that sound like the bleating of Irish pipes!
Tell me: wouldn't her instrument resonate a bit better if it didn't have about a pound of rosin stuck to the top?!

It's misleading to call this a slip jig set. The first tune is a regular jig, in 6/8. The slip jigs begin at 2:15 and 3:21. I don't know these tunes, but the oldest comment (from four years ago) gives some names for them.

That's some fine fiddle playing, and the guitar is quite good also. Active rhythm playing, but not too active!

the first tune its from Asturias (north of Spain) and the third tune also i think it's Asturian
