The story of Morrison’s Jig was that it was a tune composed by Tom Carmondy, and that his fiddler friend Morrison played/recorded it for him. You’ll hear the fiddle playing the repeated motifs in the melody… dance the night away! Alternate Titles: Cry Of The Celtic Tom Carmondy’s Favorite Port Ui Mhuirgheasa The Stick Across …
Tag: international music
We admit to using "international music" as a bit of a catch-all for pieces that don't fit into our other categories, such as "hymns", "Christmas", and "classical". But having a catch-all simplifies things a bit, because we might have had to create dozens of other categories otherwise. Think of it as a place to view new vistas!

Eugowra Rocks / The Morning of the Fray – Eight handbells
Our Australian friends have songs commemorating some interesting events! Eugowra Rocks, a city Down Under, experienced the biggest gold heist in Australian history. The criminals got away – for a few years – with about £14,000 of the precious metal. That was in 1862, so their haul would be worth millions of dollars today. It’s …
The Humours of Whiskey – Eight handbells
We’re not entirely certain as to which definition of “humour” applies, but perhaps the most apt is “state of mind” or “disposition”. Our arrangement of this happy jig comes with some fun twists (no pun intended…) – and quite possibly is a bit more challenging for a quartet of two-bell ringers than a duet of …

Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron – Eight handbells
Yes… Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron is a song about laundry. But it’s a piece of music full of energy and fun. This is our full-powered version of the song we previously released as one of our “surprisingly easy” pieces.. Nevertheless, we hope you’ll try it, and find it to be as wonderful as …
Auld Lang Syne – Eight handbells
Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish reference to “the old times”, the “times gone by”. That’s why we sing it as December 31st vanishes into history. Happy New Year!
