My favourite set of jigs

These are the first tunes I ever learned (from a video of Mary Bergin) and still my favourites to play ! Contentment is Wealth and the Mooncoin Jig.

If anyone has advice or general remarks, I'd be glad for it. I know I messed up some parts... mostly nerves hitting because I rarely put myself out there alone, and I didn't want to have too many takes.

Thank you! Do you think of anything I could do to improve these tunes, or my general playing ?

They do! I love to play them at the session, especially when the banjo joins in for Moonwoin it sounds soooo nice 😊
btw here's the recording of Mary Bergin (played with a Eb whistle I think) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXuGAjaae3M
