This is brilliant. Old school learning and tradition. This is pure Irish tradition music and heritage. Keep it simple let the melody be the most important thing. Melody is story of the tune. Martin still holds and remembers the players of old and grew up when playing by ear was the norm. Players who worked the land and played tunes in the ceil house for personal and family entertainment.
Very interesting. As I listened to Martin and Liam talk about the language needed to articulate the nature of the music, I wondered if language is really needed as the music itself IS the language. Just a thought.
Thank you to ITMA and Martin, such an insight, i've been trying to play for years and if i had heard you all when i started...well...great stuff..keep going thanks again.
Amazing. Very inspiring. Very quickly becoming one of my favourite instruments alongside the pipe organ. Hoping to get myself one and try learning at some point.
yeah, that was the early days of electricity. I don't think the recordings are only useful historically or for developing virtuosity, though, if you know what I mean.Incidentally, Bill Evans famously used a Japanese analogy to describe jazz in the liner notes of "Kind of Blue." happy listening!
Wonderful. How do you access these archive recordings?? Especially that first slow air - so strange and unearthly in its tonality.
The music during the conversation is very distracting. Otherwise, a lovely series.
Is someone able to tell me the name of the tune Martin Rochford is playing?
" . . . Buddhist temple rather than Burger King!! : - ))"

Let the music speak and give the commentary a rest.
Have to say - Martin Hayes is an absolutely top notch musician, whatever your musical background.

Martin has expertly put into words what I've thought all along. Thanks Martin and ITMA. Great stuff.

Martin’s comments on the philosophy of ‘the music’ are spot on! Wonderful stuff!
Great to hear Martin Hayes....the ultimate exponent of traditional music.
Really found the film and talk from Martin Hayes insightful. Thank you so much.
