Bluegrass Today on-line article: New Celtic Banjo Book

From Tom Hanway on 3/20/2013 11:19:45 AM

Bluegrass Today has an on-line feature article about my newest Mel Bay tune collection, Easy Irish and Celtic Melodies for 5-String Banjo: Best-Loved Airs and Session Tunes: 

New Celtic Banjo Book from Tom Hanway

Other exciting news: Irish TV will soon air a nationwide commercial featuring a rolling bluegrass-Celtic banjo with Irish and Canadian overtones.   This is for Molson Canadian Beer.  I played along to the TV ad, working closely with the composer and producer in Dublin.  Big thanks to Irish bluegrass maestro Niall Toner for recommending me for the session.  Best ~ Tom

Linked by Tom Hanway 9 years ago: Today, use of either English or French symbolises social and material success while use of a living Celtic language symbolises powerlessness, backwardness or clannishness.

Linked by Tom Hanway 9 years ago: This Celtic fingerstyle version (G) is based on Micho Russell's (Co. Clare) tin whistle version in F. It has a unique lilt to it and can be played with other tunes.
