Boil Dem Cabbage Down (on uke in Dungannon)

This is an impromptu #ukulele version of Boil Dem Cabbage Down, one of my favourite old-time tunes, on the famous hill in Dungannon. My playing partner is Hugh O'Neill, Earl of #Tyrone.

Thanks to my good friend Jon Donnelly for doing the filming. We had planned to do some outdoor jamming, but the weather forced us inside and the video just happened spontaneously. 

We only got one take, but that was all we needed.

It's a fantastic old-time song with everything from #possums, fireflies, and raccoons, to dogs, mules and butterflies. Not forgetting bed-bugs and cabbages!

Hugh O'Neill is one of the chieftains who left Ireland in the Flight of the Earls, but I'm glad he came back to help with the video. He plays a great C chord!
