Song - Swinging in the Lane
Over the span of 46 years that I was playing music with my great friend Geordie I never heard him singing. In this rare moment he started singing, out of the blue, Swinging in the Lane. Luckily another close friend Davy Lennon captured the moment. Recorded in Fealty's Bar, Bangor in 2019.

Barndances - Jimmy Doyle's Barndances
Geordie McAdam, Josie Nugent, and Nigel & Dianna Boullier play Jimmy Doyle's Barndances.
I learned these barndances from Jim Moore in 2000. Jim, in turn, learned them from Jimmy Doyle, a fiddler from Dromara/Finnis. In turn Jackie Donnan learned them from me and we played them regularly for years at the Greyabbey Dance for the two-hand dance The Scottish Barndance.
Recorded in Edenderry in 2016 for Josie Nugent's CD Modal Citizen.
