An Irish Raga (2011) 5-10'
for
Solo Guitar

Programme Note

An Irish Raga is dedicated to Ravi Shankar, the master Indian sitarist. I created this piece to coincide with my performances at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Shankar was performing at the main festival at the same time. I was privileged to witness him performing there. He is in his 90's yet still performs with great dexterity and musicianship.

An Irish Raga is not notated, it's a piece that's in my head and it is mainly improvised around some melodic figures in Irish and Indian modal scales. Therefore every performance of the piece is quite different.
