Do you do barbershop?

Not barbershop; usually solo acapella, sometimes with an accompaniment from one of the musicians. I get requests for “The Orange and the Green”, “The Wild Rover” and “The Hills of Connemara”, some of the rebel songs and the Irish-American standards.

I pick up harmonies pretty well but you need partners and rehearsals to do that well! I just do the stuff I’ve sung along with for 50+ years. Most fun I have all week.
