Ive been playing violin for 23 years and I learned alot from this brilliantly done video. I will be watching and practicing this video for a long time.
Thanks for the slow tune! I've noticed a lot of trad fiddlers use that accent note instead of Bowing the same note twice..I definitely need to practice this move
Joe and Seamus composed it.... they had been at a session in a neighbouring village and had heard a reel that they liked... home the next week they tried to reconstruct the reel from memory.. but neither could piece it together... they created this one out of fragments they remembered and tried to capture the feel of the tune... they came up with Cooley's reel as a default... so often folk tunes evolve this way... My friend Mick Flanagan lived in the Cooley household and a a boy recalls the day they composed the tune after giving up on recollecting the one they had heard..
Thanks a lot! This vid format is absolutely perfect!! So many other tutorials talk so much you cant get any sense of how the tune goes together. 😉 And thanks for the history as well! Really cool. I hope you'll go put up a Patreon so we can help support you making more of these. 😊
I'm so happy I found this, thanks a million Duncan. I do Irish dancing down in Northern Ireland, Belfast and this is good for practising for my competitions :)
Fiddling and playing violin are two completely different skill sets, though. Many violinist have an incredibly hard time learning the swing of fiddling alongside the rolls and timing differences, and vise versa.

Outstanding
I wished I could see your bowing tho so I knew which string it was on
Excellent!!
showing the bowing would have really helped, right now its not clear which open string is being played when
the best fiddlin ive seen yet
Duncan Ross Cameron any better it would be violinism
Poly, You must not get out much then.
