The Bubbling Wine
I believe this is another of Tipperary box player Paddy O'Brien's well-crafted compositions. I remember hearing it played in Leeds occasionally. It's a shame I left the place before learning it and have forgotten about it for long. Thanks a lot for reminding me.

Daimh play it as a slow reel, would that be the way you know it slainte?
# Posted on November 13th 2009 by bogman
Nope, nobody plays "slow reels" there. They just play all the reels nice and slowly in a distinct style. And I'm pretty sure they have never heard of the band. Many of Paddy O'Brien's compositions have been popularised in Leeds and this is just one of them.

Now listen to this clip: http://leedscce.com/images/26%20-%20Track%2026.mp3 Maybe it's not as slow as you expected.

Nice clip but what's it got to do with this tune?
# Posted on November 13th 2009 by bogman
Obviously it's nothing to do with the tune, but hope you've got an idea of how it's played.
# Posted on November 13th 2009 by slainte
Well, ask a couple of friendly questions and I get a couple of pretentious and arrogant answers. On you go yourself slainte.
# Posted on November 13th 2009 by bogman
No, seriously I didn't mean it. I'm willing to apologize if my comments sound arrogant.
Now please let me sleep first. It's almost half past three in the morning here.

Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding. I did enjoy that clip. Thanks.

"I'm willing to apologize"
I think The Sun used that phrase recently.

Lovely playing on that clip, Slainte.
Should be heard by all those who slag the banjo and play at high speeds.

Sorry to be back here. I was really busy today.
conscientious objector, I now admit my comments sound a little abrupt and impolite. It seems I was trying to be friendly in a wrong way.... Anyway, we both like this tune, right? And I believe we both agree that the tune shouldn't be played too fast. I'd love to listen to Daimh play it.
No Cause For Alarm, did they apologize for excessive nudity?
murfbox, the banjo player is Jody Moran, a great musician and singer from around Leeds. He's been a tutor in Miltown for years, I heard. And the piano accordion player is Michael Tennyson, who has an enormous stock of both old and new tunes, including some obscure compositions by Paddy O'Brien. I think I heard him play this particular tune a few times and it might be he who introduced it to other musicians in Leeds.
Edgar Bolton, thanks again for posting this tune. It brings back lovely memories.

Here's a mighty rendition of the tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46PJbDip2xQ
Incidentally, the fiddler is from my country, but I don't think I've met her before in Ireland or Tokyo. If I had, I could instantly recognise her: I've never seen anyone playing Irish tunes on the fiddle like that.
Now it's time I learnt the tune.
