Hi Will,
The instrumentation is great in that it supports the singer, without
putting it's self in front of the singer. I listened to some of the
competition and the original stem, and I like yours the most.

traditional Irish ballad, as an open collaboration project.
I found this song totally captivating so decided to try my hand.
This is what I achieved. I hope you like it.

Mark hasn't set any time limit so I'm sure he'd welcome more entries.
For those interested in such things...
I loaded Mark's audio into Rosegarden then played along on a MIDI keyboard.
The nature of the song meant that cheating with copy/paste wasn't an option
(which is actually a good thing) so I played through multiple times until I
had a feeling for the whole piece, then built up track by track.
In order of appearance:
Mark (of course)
Rushes
Wide Bass + Ghost Ensemble
Moor Drums
Post Horn
Ghost Ensemble in particular has a very slow attack, and Rosegarden's 'jog'
command came in very handy.
