“Tripping Up The Stairs / A Trip To Athlone” : https://youtu.be/06JY_oxJtmo
Classic !
This is the sort of stuff that got me hooked on Trad.
Cool tunes. Been a big DeDanann fan for many years. Had a question though. Listening to the first one, it sounded like two plucked string instruments playing together. The lineup lists a bouzouki and a banjo, but neither of those sounded like a banjo. Anybody know the instrumentation on that first one?
Hi - first tune starts as a bouzouki duet. I did add that as a comment “down the page”.

I’ve been meaning to learn the Green Fields of Rosbeigh for months now. This has given me the motivation to get a wriggle on and suss it out!! Thank you
