--> I wrote the tune last week.
I made the track this afternoon.

All the drum sounds are sampled from a bizarre kiddie keyboard i bought in a charity shop in a town called Largs.
(Largs is famous for a battle between the Vikings and the locals...the locals won.)

Usually i stick a line-out on a keyboard to record it, this time i used a cheap mic i picked up for a pound. (also bought in a charity shop)

I think the shitty mic adds something different to the mix. stops it sounding too clean.

EnJoY
!!!!!!!

edit: slightly louder drum mix link
not sure what mix i prefer this, or original one.

this is fucking awesome. I really think you have figured out a creative way to make real folk music with an electronic edge, the song after this one my dad used to play on his banjo when i was little or maybe it was the highway men that did a make of it, eiter way, I can faintly hear the words in my head.

you know wiskey in a jar?

cheers KQ. we need start that gameboy+banjo collab soon. that will rock many worlds. :D

hardvoltnine: thanks. that means a lot to me. ive always been into the old melodies, but ive never liked the hardcore tradtionalist vibe you find in some folk people. i like to do my own version.
i wasnt aware that the other tune you mentioned had a song associated with it, i would like to track it down.
cheers
