Creagh, Seamus - Tunes for Practice 2-CD 2009 Suitable resource for learning tunes for players of most instruments used for playing Irish Traditional Music. Tunes for Practice Introducing a new Irish Traditional Music tutorial Double CD by the renowned fiddle player Seamus Creagh called Tunes for Practice. The 69 Traditional Irish Tunes on this CD are arranged in sets with introductions by Seamus Creagh. Each tune is played twice, the first time it is played plainly and the second time ornamentation is added. The tunes are played slowly but not too slowly and they never loose Seamus’ wonderful lift. This CD is a purely auditory tutorial of a compilation of sets with introductions naming the tunes, which are played by a renowned fiddle player at a learnable and listenable pace. Seamus Creagh is excellent Irish traditional fiddle player and is one of the most respected fiddle players in Ireland. He is originally from Westmeath, but now resides in Cork. His relaxed style has brought him to international prominence, particularly his duets with Jackie Daly and Aidan Coffey. He has recorded material for TV, radio and films and has also recorded with, Jackie Daly, Colm Murphy (An Bodhran), Paddy Keenan ( Na keen Affair), Tomás O Cainnin (Irish Airs) and Tickle Harbour (Newfoundland band) among others. Seamus has toured extensively in Europe, Canada, the USA, Asia and Ireland. Seamus Creagh has a beautiful style which is considered as Sliabh Luachra (an area on the Cork/Kerry border). He has unquestionably superb technique, subtle ornamentation and has a delightful lift to his playing. His expressive playing captures the uaigneas (loneliness) which is an integral part of truly tradition Irish music. Tracks: CD1 1. Tuning 2. Kerry Polka, Maggie in the Wood polkas 3.
