I love this collection of tune-very easy listening and a reasonable speed to learn from. Thank you.

Including a video of the tunes and stepping from track 1 of this recording “Cover the Buckle” - - -

“Mount Phoebus Hunt” — a traditional Irish set dance (also played here as a reel) by Seán Clohessy (fiddle) and Sean McComiskey (accordion), with Kieran Jordan (original step dance choreography and sean-nós steps for the reel). This tune can be found on our CD, Cover the Buckle: A Collection of Irish Set Dances for Listening and Dancing. Available at www.KieranJordan.com. Many thanks to Andy Bell for recording and editing this piece, April 2015, in Dorchester, MA.

Nice & ‘neat’ steppin‘, fiddlin’ & squeezin’ - lovely! Inspirational and much appreciated… There’s a bundle of favourite tunes here well played, decent tempos and introductions, and the stepping only now and then, tracks 1 & 4, not obtrusive, and an enjoyed stepped introduction for track 6, “The Blackbird”. Recommended!
