Liked on YouTube: Cooley's Reel & The Musical Priest

Cooley's Reel & The Musical Priest
Two reels which I decided to play slightly slower than normal and to a rather funky beat. I originally recorded this set of tunes in late 2003 and they still sound quite fresh. I used a 'fishman pre-amp and piezo pick up', on an old French violin which was given to me by a neighbour. The first tune is called Cooley's Reel and was composed by a well known Irish box player called Joe Cooley. The second tune is normally played in a higher key, but on my version I chose to play the Musical Priest in a lower key and in a slightly more folk rock way. I hope you enjoy this track and the few photos' I took when I visited Northumberland on holiday.
