    Default First track from the new Simon Mayor O'Carolan album released

    Enjoy: 'Princess Royal' is the first single release - now available across all streaming and download platforms - taken from the album 'Carolan' by Simon Mayor (scheduled for release 10th March 2023). This is Simon's setting for mandolin quartet (two mandolins, mandola and mandocello) of one of the most popular melodies by the Irish composer and harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738).

    Also of note, Simon's O'Carolan Workshop coming in March.

    I hear so many people say you can't play Irish music on an F style mandolin, they all stand corrected.

    What can you say? Absolutely first class in every way. I've always thought harp music souds great on the mandolin.

    I haven't heard Simon's stuff for a while actually. Really good to hear this.
