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
