A tune originally written for guitar by Mark Houghton from Chester, England. I think it fits the banjo very well, and as usual my son Paul accompanies me on Bass and Keyboards.

This is a tune I wrote for my wife, Alice. It is off an album we made some years ago entitled 'A Little Bit Of Junc' by The Secret River Band, the 'Junc' meaning the Junction Inn at Rainford, where we play every Wednesday. The banjo is an Ibanez Artist which I had for eighteen years.

I heard someone play this wonderful tune on a hammered dulcimer, it's nothing like the versions played by clawhammer players, I play it 3 fingered with my banjo tuned GCGBD capoed up two frets, please excuse the fluffs as I'm a quivering wreck in front of a recorder, as usual my son Paul accompanies me.

An Irish slow air, composed by blind harpist Turlough O'Carolan who wrote some beautiful music.

Another self-penned tune but in a different tuning (g C G C D#) which I feel gives it a kind of "spooky" sound, hence the title.

Irish traditional hornpipe, accompanied by my son Paul on keyboard and bass, pardon the mistakes which are due to the dreaded recording red light syndrome.

I've always wanted to write a tune with a Spanish/Mexican flavour, ...but this will have to do (wink).

This is a tune I have always liked, so I thought I would do a little recording of it.
