BANJO, TUBA, SNARE DRUM, FLUTE. HUMOROUS YET HOPEFUL, MARCHING ON TO AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING, BUT THERE'S NO SENSE BEING LATE.
A popular Irish traditional hornpipe which leads into a faster reel at 1:23. Jolly, fun and pounding, this is gauranteed to get the heart pumping.

Fiddle, guitar and bodhran come together for a powerful and booming performance. 100% live performance. This track has two titles because this is traditionally how many Irish pub tunes are performed, as a double set of short tunes, the first leading directly into the second.
The Munich street musicians play full of vim and vigor! Authentic folk music from the south of Germany!
