As a Monaghan, I recommend this tune for dancing, cleaning, doing paperwork, alleviating depression, all tribute to my ancestors!

I mostly play Medieval / Renaissance style, but this inspires me to learn more Celtic traditional.  Great playing, btw.

It's not often anymore that you hear music worth tapping your foot to. This is one of the many reasons I love folk music, and you play it beautifully.

Just got my first mandolin and was looking for a good tune to learn - thanks for posting this and thank the Lords of Youtube for the ability to slow it down to half speed! Much appreciated.

Beautiful playing with an absolutely beautiful mandolin! If been lucky enough to of had a chance to play one identical to this one from the 1920's and I have to say that its just brilliant! Keep up the excellent playing!

I just want to thank you for these videos, not only are they just a pleasure to listen to, but I've been getting into Celtic mandolin and playing in some sessions with people and your precise, clean technique gives me both inspiration and keys that help in numerous ways. Every single video is appreciated, so please don't stop making them!

I played along to this on my classical guitar. What a great combination they made!

My wife is about to take up the mandolin - specifically because she hears my partner and I playing reels from the Alistair Anderson book. Great playing!

Sounds like you have really good acoustics where you are playing. That's probably why it sounds so clear and distinct. Really exquisite.

I've been thinking about getting a mandolin and learn Celtic music like this. Haven't decided yet but this is very inspiring.

Nice Jig and very well played.  Nice clear tones also and nice speed.  I enjoyed much. Thanks, Marie

Love this tune and beautifully played can't quite master it

[alessia]

Ok I haven’t even finished listening I have already downloaded the sheet music for this. I want to learn how to play it on my mandolin. Great tune, excellent playing! Bravo!!

[Havnerson]

At least 15 of the viewings are mine. Fantastic job man. This made me decide to buy a mandolin.

[BrentBowers]

Excellent. I'm just a chord player on mandolin at present but this is really inspiring.
