Back Home In Derry - Day 2.
today we ran through about half of the first half of the set list for the show.
Foggy Dew - summer playing keys, hasn't changed since last time, adam has learnt the basic tune for it on the pennywhistle, and will be looking at pennywhistle tutorials to try and learn some other ways to play it, george has pretty much got the drum down, but i think the soft beaters should be used instead of normal drumsticks - and for the guitar parts, we decided on the chords to play.
I need to practice this song alot more, as i kept hitting off-notes, and running out of breath quickly.
God Save The Queen - this song is done in two sections for two different scene changes, the only problem with the first section was trying to figure out an ending that fit it right.
with the second section we had a bit of trouble with the timing of the 'no future' parts, but with practice will be fine. we also briefly looked at the irish rover, and other ceile songs.
