Subject: TAB: Carolan`s Draught (Turlough O`Carolan)
This is my attempt at a fingerstyle transcription of Carolan`s Draught,
a lovely tune by Turlough O`Carolan, the great 17th-century blind
harpist. After learning one or two arrangements of his other pieces by
the likes of John Renbourn, Duck Baker and Davey Graham, I recently went
to see a gig by Maire Ni Chathasaigh and Chris Newman (Irish harp with
guitar accompaniment). Maire (no, we`re not on first name terms, it`s
just that the surname is so outrageous to my English tongue) is a
stunning harpist (and Chris is an intimidatingly hot guitarist), and
after buying their tape The Carolan Album, I was inspired to try my
hand at this one.
All comments gratefully received.
Regards,
Barry
