Fig for a Kiss + Breakout (LOTD, Ronan Hardiman) - Irish Fiddle Tunes! | Katy Adelson

Happy St. Paddy's Day! Here are some fun Irish Fiddle Tunes: A Fig for a Kiss, which is a slip jig, and Breakout, which is a modern tune by Ronan Hardiman for Lord of the Dance. Both of the tunes have a "slide" vibe to me, so I tried to play them kind of bouncy. I hope that you like this version of the tunes! They are fun tunes to mix into things.

A lot of people like the Breakout tune but don't always realize it's not a trad tune -- it also sounds nice with Coleraine. I'm an advocate for mixing old and new tunes together in a set, even though I know some people don't really like that... I just think there is a lot we can learn from the old tunes and modern music. We can mix some of the jazzy modern stuff with some of the traditional music and make something fun and different.

I recorded this footage back in 2020 in Crested Butte, Colorado. I went car-camping around that area during the pandemic as a bit of an escape. It is a beautiful place! The hiking footage is from a small scientific research town nearby called, "Gothic." I was hoping it would be a little more cloudy and misty to create a mythical vibe for the video, but it was super dry with lots of sunshine for the entire visit. We were actually having a lot of bad fires at the time...I'm glad those have been put out...

I feel like I've been struggling trying to feel creative with all the stuff that's been going on these past few years with the pandemic, fires, and now the war...I'm hoping I'll be able to shake out of this. I'm glad that I had written down all my ideas before the pandemic started. Reading over that list helps me move back into the mindset that I had had before all of this started...

Thank you for watching, and I hope you have a good rest of the week! =) Please stay safe!
