The Banshee - traditional Irish reel on viola

It's been a little while since I recorded any traditional tunes so I've been making a little batch of them.
Here's the first one - the Banshee, a very popular reel.
This version is played in a key that is optimised for viola, so it is a 5th lower than what would normally played by traditional fiddle players.
The sheet music for this version, plus a version in the original key for playing along with the violins, is in my pdf book of traditional tunes for viola, available at folkviola.co.uk - this tune is in Volume 1 (here's a direct link to the sheet music purchase page: payhip.com/b/Stru )
**NEW! Sheet music with the bowings and ornaments that I play in this video is available as part of a discounted sheet music bundle of ten tunes, Folk Viola Bowings and Ornaments Book 1: payhip.com/b/N... **

You are the goat for folk viola videos.. Can't get any better! Do you offer private lessons?

[@folkviola]

Thank you so much! No, I don't do any teaching, sorry.
