this man is the reason i picked up the flute when i was only 11yrs old. i'm 27 now and i play for the love of it and it's just so much fun. he is an inspiration.
My word... Matt Molloy never ceases to amaze me with his playing... He's incredible when playing dance tunes at any speed, but he puts so much feeling into airs...
The Session used to be a live recording that aired on tv back then!! Matt molloy, some legend!!if only i was half as good as him, bin playin for ten years!!
@Nanoune69Fr Technically the volume pulse via diaphragm is tremolo, and vibrato is pitch pulsing via a finger over a lower tone hole. But yes, magnificent examples of both here.
Regarding the comments about Elvis Costello, he appeared on this "episode" of the show, but doesn't appear in this clip. Apart from Donal Lunny and Arty McGlynn, other musicians include Sean Og Potts on pipes (son of Sean Potts of the Chieftains), Cormac Breathnach on flute (better known as a low-whistle player with the band Deiseal), Nollaig Casey on fiddle (Arty McGlynn's wife) and Damien Quinn on bodhran (former member of the band Cian). Can't remember the names of the two additional percussionists.
Great flute playing , here playing with Bass guitar , but he wouldn't play with Hammond organ Bass and drums in Paris in 1979 when the bothy band recorded mo ghuile mare rte has the recording
I have a friend who worships Elvis Costello and cannot believe that this is him in this set. The guitar player looks like Elvis when he was married to the woman from the POGUES. Can you help me with this?
I started with low whistle, it sounds nice, but the flute has so much more expression, different timbres... also high-pitched notes are much easier to play pianissimo...
The best flute player to ever come out of Ireland!!!!
The BEST FLUTE PLAYER EVER LIVED❤❤❤❤
Thanks

Mighty stuff!
Great stuff !!
I have one in my shop right now, great flutes! Even signed by Sidney Pratten.
well love this tune thanks for posting xxx
5:55 Parting of Friends ...... I think I'm having this played when I eventually slip off this mortal coil .
Unparalleled. Up the Irish
Superb
Thanks
I'm pretty sure the flute in the clip is the Pratten's Perfected mentioned by "gorkys6" below. What a great set by the greatest player!
The player that comes in at the end is using "pipers grip". Pipers play with their fingers flat on the chanter.
This is roots for us who fought against
"The Gravel Walk." You can find a version on a very early Boys of the Lough album by fiddles tuned an octave apart as I recall.

masterful. He's really amazing.
I always laugh when I see someone with a beard playing flute though. I don't know why, I just can't help myself.
Quel magnifique vibrato diaphragmatique sur son slow air ! (5:55 => 8:17).

Noel Eccles is one of the percussionists, and I think the other guy's surname is White, but I could be wrong.
The first tune is "The Independence" hornpipe.

Why does the video cut off at the end?
Found it: its Jim Donoghue's (2:34)
could someone please tell me the name of the tune starting at 2.34? Thank you
Jim Donohue from Sligo
What's the name of the first piece? I'm trying to look for the score. Could you help me?
Anyone else noticing 'cry of the celts' ending by ronan hardiman? (-:
Why must the go on an ruin it towards the end with bongos and synthesizers and stuff? Up until then, flutetastic perfection.
What the name of the Slow Air at the second part? Pls help
Air: The Parting of Friends/Paddy Ryan's Dream
RCherryman: Probably an Olwell flute.
That's Cormac Breatnach.
He is the best flute player of the generation, don't get me wrong, but doesn't anyone else think his outfit is a bit ... odd ?
What is, "The Session"?
What's the name of the reel that starts at 3:41?
theceltictipper - gravel walks
