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.
