Default Eleanor Plunkett [Carolan]

I’m on a mission to learn as many Carolan tunes as I can. This is an improvised version of Eleanor Plunkett in G played on my Cedar on Walnut OM, which is a vey nice guitar for this sort of thing.

Thanks for listening.

Well done and beautifully played! I love O'Carolan's music and play a bit of it on my mandolin (never tried any on guitar). Great job.

That was nice. There's an ensemble (Simon Mayor and friends) playing near me in a few weeks featuring (some of) Carolan's work. Now thinking about it

I would be all over that! Simon Mayor is a really great mandolinist.

Thanks for the push. Only about 15 mins drive from me in a church venue. Might just mosey along.

Very nice. Carolan really had a way with pretty melodies, and they work so well on the guitar. Well done!
