Turlough O'Carolan's well-loved piece "Sí Bheag Sí Mhór" arranged for fingerstyle guitar. Sometimes known as "Sheebeg [and] Sheemore" in English. A beautiful, timeless melody which blends aspects of Irish traditional and classical music.
Here I'm playing a custom Irish-made Avalon guitar - featuring ancient bog oak back & sides and bearclaw sitka spruce.

[THIS IS A RE-UPLOAD WITH AUDIO FIXED - The bass was EQd too high in the older upload]
Ive finally finished a composition Ive been toying with for a long time. Its a dedication to the woman who kickstarted my journey into music some 25 years ago, my grandmother Teresa. She taught me my first few notes on a wee keyboard when I was a toddler, and Ive been playing those notes ever since.
