SONGS

.

Another song by Ian Lilly and myself written for St. Patricks Day 2011. A good little chorus to join in on, written my me. I play two hornpipes here called "Harvest Home" and "The Boys of Bluehill". The tune for the song itself is in fact a hornpipe. See if you can hear an accordian, a harmonica, a banjo and of course a guitar in it. I forgot to play the tin whistle and Bohran (Irish drum) but I might add them later! I hope you like it.
