O’Carolan’s Draught

String Loaded performing live an uplifting version of the Irish tune by Turlough O’Carolan.

O’Carolan (1670 – 1738) is considered by many to be Ireland’s national composer and is most known for his mastery of beautiful melodies. O’Carolan was said to have been strongly influenced by classical Baroque music which you will hear coming through in this stunning piece.

Thank you to the ever wonderful Andrew Clermont’s Supper Club for having us and Judy Heytman for filming!!

“O’Carolan’s Draught” is available on String Loaded’s award winning album “Continuous Line”.
