Ronnie and The Cyclones - Rights of Man

[jerrydf]

OK, music lovers - look the other way for a few minutes.

For the rest of you, here's my virtual band Ronnie and The Cyclones with two cute traditional tunes, Rights of Man and Berendans.

There's a history of the tunes in the video.

Good luck.

Hi Jerrydf, fun stuff, especially Berendans.

Thanks Rik, much appreciated!

Well I'm a music lover of Scottish and Irish music and anyone dong Irish covers I want to hear it!  Covers on guitar are rare so this is a real treat.   Takes top skill to play these melodic tunes.  Melody is the main driver no matter the instrument.  The second tune is particularly busy and must be a challenge to anyone, whatever the instrument. There are probably 100's if not 1000's of obscure pup tunes that deserve to be played.   Thx for adding the history notes.

Played a fair bit of this sort of music myself in the past, so really enjoyed this, especially Rights of Man.

nicely done

Cool

Rights of Man is a right good guitar stomp. As is Bear dance. Nice recording.

Cool stuff,

at the very end did I hear you quote a little riff from Them's version of Baby Please Don't Go?
The pull off, then slide down...

Yes, probably subconsciously at first, but then I realised. The Grease Band also used the riff.

It's great to see your enthusiasm for Irish and Scottish music! Irish covers on guitar are a rare treat, showcasing top skill. Melody is key, and it's impressive to tackle such intricate tunes. There are countless obscure pub tunes waiting to be played, each with its own rich history. Thanks for sharing your passion!

Awesome, not to offend you because I mean it as praise, But the spirit of the songs makes me think of Dexys Midnight Runners.?

Indeed, I listened to this three times in a row.
