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!

Tra Veglia: an Italian waltz for weddings

Maybe my enthusiasm for instant gratification is getting out of hand. Bob and I (the Pratie Heads) did a series of wine-tastings at Whole Foods featuring music of various countries. We had barely played this tune through the whole way twice before I switched on the zoom to record it! Here you have it, raw from rehearsal… it’s a great tune…
