Slow airs.

session savage

Hi all.

Was just wondering what are your favourite slow airs?
Meseff, I love the fairest rose.
Also, do ye like people playing slow airs in a session? Some people I play with hate them in a session, they only like to play them themselves.
Personally I love to play them but also to listen to them.

opinions?

Beanstalk

I like playing 'the little fair child' on the mandolin, but only for a small group of people or on my own. I've played in the local a couple of times but only when it was real quiet, it's tough when the pub is noisy...

ZorbaTehZ

My favourite slow air to play is probably Eamonn an Chnoic. The only time in my opinion when a slow air should be played is right at the end of a session not too far from finishing up, and I think that it definetely has its place in a session and I really do like to hear them and play them myself.

The Moorlough Shore (Dolores Keane). Though would have to be sang with order and little noise if in a pub venue, as with most slow airs.
