Tommy Martin's lovely rendition of "The Fox Chase" at the Southern California Uilleann Pipers Club 2008 Tionól concert held in San Juan Capistrano on November 1, 2008.

Sorry about the minor jump cut at about 6:30 into the video, my Canon HF10 camera auto-breaks the captured files every 2 GB.

Ben Jaber and I playing a set of two jigs on anglo concertina and Uilleann pipes at today's Southern California Uilleann Pipers Club meeting.

Canon HF10 in full auto, DM100 microphone in 120-degree setting. Video cropped about 50% from original.

Testing my new Canon HF10 in 30p mode. Most of these clips were taken in shutter priority mode with the shutter speed at 1/30th, white balance on auto. Last clip at the end of the video was using Spotlight mode later in the evening, so its a bit darker than the rest. Audio with built-in microphones on the camera.

Shot 27 April 2008 at the Auld Dubliner pub in Long Beach, CA.

Here's a collection of clips from the weekly step dance show at The Field, where I often play in a session on Sunday nights and for the dancers once a month.

Before achieving national fame as a finalist on "American Idol", Carly Smithson worked at the authentic Irish pub five days a week as a server, and later, as a bartender, pouring pints of Guinness.

Shot on 13 April 2008 using a JVC GY-DV300U 3-CCD DV camcorder.

Here's Elaine, Craig, and I having a few tunes at Thornton's Pub in El Cajon, CA, about 25 miles east of San Diego.

Its a quiet Irish session week in San Diego, usually we have several more players...

Someone should fire the guitar player. I mean, what was the deal with that last chord... :-)

Shot on a Canon HV20 at 1080p24.
