What a great demonstration. Some of the triplet playing reminds me of the older American banjo tunes. There's a freaky "Boy In The Bubble" moment in this at about the 7:20 mark where someone's cellphone goes off an it plays the College (Sailor's) Hornpipe - 18th century Scots/Irish. Made my morning.
