Maurice Duncan's trip to Ballycastle.

[Ptarmigan]

When well known Campbeltown Fiddler, Maurice Duncan, came over to Ballycastle, Co. Antrim for a holiday, in September of 2012, he made such an impression on the local musicians, that I felt compelled to compose this wee March in honour of his visit.

Incidentally, this is another wee tune that came to me, while playing my Nyckelharpa. However, I play it here, on my Fiddle, Mandolin, Nyckelharpa & English Concertina.



Maurice now lives in Oban & is a member of the Oban & Lorne Strathspey & Reel Society.

Following a couple of requests from musician friends, I decided to post another version of this video, over on Vimeo, this time featuring mostly video clips of me actually playing the instruments.
