Flying to the Fleadh/Glass of Beer (Patrick Davey/Ireland)

I call this "Grainne's Set" as both these songs were introduced to me by Irish harper Grainne Hambly. I take both her harp arrangements more or less verbatim, adding other instruments to "Glass of Beer" to create contrasting chaotic pub sound to "Flying"s clean lines. Again, Gary's double violin tracks add huge energy, and Peter's percussion makes us sound like there's 6 of us instead of 3 playing. "Flying" was written by Irish piper Patrick Davey and is a fine example of the living Irish music tradition.
