So pretty.
Very nice 🎻🙏
Is the sheet music available for this music?
Fab. Interesting backing track too.
For wha'll be king but Charlie?! Wonderful work.
Very good. I find Angus's jigs simple but nevertheless cracking dance tunes.
My new favourite
Great stuff.🎻
John should love this.
This is such a lovely light-hearted jig. Well done Liam.
Classic Australiana.. Thanks
Wonderful. Such a happy jig. Thanks for fixing the attribution
Excellent mate. Quite beautiful.
Great version. I wrote this on guitar but with fiddle in mind.
Welp, I better keep practicing. Really magnificent playing my guy!
Thanks again
This one should have been in the jig book 🙂👍
Fantastic
Amazing tune even if not really a mazurka
❤🎻🙏
This is an inspired piece of work.
Loved it :) ceep it up !
Thanks again.
I love it, bro
I remember this from when Tas Heritage used to do it.
I love the light feeling of this tune.
Yes. Brings Angus back to life.
Fun. Lovely and crisp
Perfect. Perfect tempo. If Eileen McCoy was still alive she would be smiling.
They just keep getting better.
Delightful 🎻
A sweet little jig written by a very young fiddler. Liam does it justice and brings out its essence.
sometimes there are more than one note beeing played. and it sounds great. Real music, thank you.
Beautiful 🎻🙏
Great
That is a lovely tune which you played beautifully.
More, please.
Thanks Liam. Nice backing track too.
Very sensitive rendition.
Love it
You have Eileen's style just right
Great
Love the way you build it up.
This is probably the least folky jig in the book. You bring out the complexity of the melody so well.
Just right
Thank you Liam! Wonderful exercises❤
Jolly late 19th century music hall feel
Smashing…this jig has got me moving and twirling around at brekkie time. 😊🎶
A favourite - what a gorgeous tune.
So beautiful
