Who’s posting these tunes?

I play fiddle, concertina, piano, viola, and sometimes viola with two bands in central North Carolina, near RDU and the Research Triangle (actually closer to Chapel Hill and Hillsborough than Durham, but anyway, central). You can see these two wedding ensembles at our site Wedding Music in North Carolina...

One is Mappamundi, which means "Map of the World" and which plays popular wedding music of Western and Eastern Europe, Jewish traditions (klezmer, yiddish, hebrew, israeli, sephardic, songs in Ladino) and American swing tunes for dancing and a little bit of Hispanic music as well.

The other is the Pratie Heads, a duo specializing in music of the British Isles (Celtic, Irish, Scottish, English) and early America - but recently branching out into many other traditions as well!

Fire in the Kitchen, Bagira’s Walk, Rosehill Reel

Here’s a video from September of the Pratie Heads playing at Centerfest in Durham, NC. The sound quality is bad but I wanted to post it because it was the first time we played a festival with Jim Baird, bassist from my “other” band, Mappamundi. In my next post I’ll add the clean versions of the second and third tunes, both written by Bob.
