Lesson One: Beginning Irish Tenor Banjo One of the most difficult things about learning a new instrument is that you get bombarded with information right off the bat - most of which is not germane to the level of skill that you have.

Children and teens are able to handle this chaos, but adult learners have a harder time with it. I hope to simplify things a little by starting with the very basics. If you have Enda Scahill's books (and I urge you to get them) or any of the other how to play books out there, you will see that they too start from the very beginning , the music. Tenor banjos have been around about a century now but it was not until the 1960s that the. The Otter's Holt. Good traditional music sessions around Northumberland This isn’t a definitive list, but if you can sing a song, or play a few trad tunes, you’ll be more than welcome at any of these venues.

The Otter's Holt

I’ve not visted each and every session listed but I’ve heard good reports from musicians who have. This is nowhere near a full list of all the sessions currently active in Northumberland – I’ve stuck to the ones that seem to be the most popular or well known. Most of the music played will be Northumbrian, but quite a few English and Scottish tunes, even a few Irish, have been absorbed into the Northumbrian repertoire. Irish trad music isn’t that well represented in Northumberland though there are a few enthusiasts (including me!).

ComhaltasLive #248 - 3: A Set of Reels from the Allow Céili Band. Irish-American Acetate Discs, 1940–50s. Acetate discs were originally used in recording studios from the 1930s to the early 1950s, before the introduction of tape recording, for making test copies of recordings.

Irish-American Acetate Discs, 1940–50s

They consisted of aluminium plates covered with a thin layer of lacquer, and sound was cut directly onto the lacquer. They were only intended for temporary use and became inaudible after many playings. Acetates were also used in radio work, and some commercial companies recorded performers on acetate disc for a fee. The eight acetate recordings presented above come from the collection of the late John Brennan, a Ballisodare, Co Sligo, flute player resident in Dublin, and they were donated to the ITMA in 2008 by his son John who lives in Denmark, per Peter Sorenson. John Brennan was friendly with the Sligo fiddle players James ‘Lad’ O’Beirne (1911–80) and Martin Wynne (1913–98), who were resident in New York and whose playing is featured on the discs.

Transcriptions of Joe Cooley's playing.

There only exists one album of playing of Joe Cooley, the charismatic button accordion player from Peterswell, Co. Galway - the album simply titled "Cooley", on the Gael-linn label (originally as an LP - cat. #CEF 044 - in 1975, later re-issued on CD as cat. #CEF CD 044). Though not anywhere near the quality of a studio recording, this album that was compiled of field recordings of his playing after his death does manage to bring across his unique style of playing - wild, driving, deliberate, but never too fast - and clearly demonstrates why Joe Cooley managed to influence so many other musicians, both of his own generation and even some who know him only from the stories and this one album.

Not only his style was unique, also his settings of tunes were often very much his own. I've taken the time to listen closely to his playing (the recordings, of course) and tried to transcribe the tunes as he plays them. I have made the transcriptions available in 3 formats: Playlists.
