No family get together this year due to covid so this will have to do....I always get a front seat in the house to enjoy John and Co...maybe next year.
John Sheahan simply is the best (fiddler, tin whistle player, well maybe not the best banjo player ;) and, sadly, the last surviving member of the original formation of the Dubliners (Barny McKenna, Ciaran Bourke, John Sheahan, Luke Kelly, Ronny Drew). May they all rest in peace, as well as my old friend Jim McCann (member of the Dubliners 1974-1979), and may John still enchant us with his proficiency on the fiddle for many years to come.
I play most of these songs, however I play mostly by reading the score, and only know a few by heart. You can almost always tell when someone is playing from memory, it's the flow and the extras they throw in to trill it a bit more. I started play fiddle at age 58, now 72 but it's been a bit hard to put many of them into my memory. Maybe I can do it when I get to heaven, or maybe I'll only make it to the stairway! ℗.
Mr. P. Hart I started playing my great great grandfather's violin at 33 but didn't start fiddling until 35 years later - March '16 - and have improved - as one with no talent and dyslexia - more than in all the past years. Love Irish music. I can't remember much and have to use the sheet music.
My parents handed me my first violin at age 3. They're german and this is what we do...we play Beethoven and Mozart. ...but then they sent me to my violin teacher who was an Irishman and a fiddle master. ...and I always had much more fun ripping through those Irish reels and jigs. Those classical compositions require so much precision that you can't dance around much. You have to really keep your eyes on the sheet with most of that stuff. The irish stuff you can memorize eventually with enough repetition...doesn't make it any less difficult. There's some Irish stuff I can't play at all, or even come close too, but I'm considered a very good classical violinist. Mediocre Irish player. Anyway, I love both my home culture and the Irish culture. I love everything about the beautiful, soulful, poetic Irish people and I'm married to a gal from Donegal. Love our European heritage. We must protect it from globalization. ..oh and the bluegrass from the USA is great too, it has tons of roots in Ireland.
Kyle O'Bryan Yeah, maybe not collectively, but there were for sure many places and times around the world where people lived in paradise. Shit, i personally lived in paradise for a couple of days.
Someones "Paradise" could be "Back home" to a place many memories were made.. A place that reminds you of someone, Makes you feel good inside. My paradise is in the mountains where my dad and I get away from the city and dig for gold. A surfers paradise is a beach with that perfect wave.
My paradise is outside my back door! I live near the south-west coast of England. I'm a west coast kind of person. I'm surrounded by chartreuse green grass, big, craggy hills with trees, like the Swiss Alps, mild almost every day. Some wild life; hedgehogs, badgers, foxes, shrews etc. It's like home on the west coat of Ireland, by the sea, with towering cliffs and mountains - and the same chartreuse grass! Similar people and a similar atmosphere. Mmmm... Paradise.
I saw John, Eamonn and Barney and few other musicians play all the the Dubliners classics in Vicar Street a few years ago. It was by far the best concert I'd been to in years and I got to share it with my mam. John played The Marino waltz and it was magical. So sad that Eamonn and Barney have since passed. I loved their energy on stage. Just incredible 😍
I just LOVE to hear these two master musicians play! Awesome! America has been Blessed by the Irish who came, bringing their music with them! This music lifts the spirits as nothing else can!
I think John Sheahan is one that's not usually in the spotlight but he's been crankin' out the fiddle parts as well as the tin whistle parts for a while, and he's mighty talented! I wonder what he's like as a person
Irish music always puts a smile on my face. The Irish have faced way more than their share of bad times, but somehow manage to make the most optimistic music. I'm very glad about that.
Many years ago, I would put my daughter to sleep to MarinoCasino, when she was about 1. I had noticed her becoming relaxed and falling asleep while it was being played. Soon enough, I would play it 5-6 times in a row each night; her father got sick of it. Wonderful memories. :)
You know great musicians when there's only two of them and they have the whole audience engaged with them. Wish I could see something this awesome live. Maybe someday we won't be in quarantine 2020. 😊
I really liked that! From the beginning it was great but when he switched to the tin whistle it was fabulous. The tin whistle brought to the tune a really authentic Irish quality. Such a humble but noble instrument. Love it!
I had a great conflab with Eamonn a few years ago in Matt Molloys pub in Westport ,a very gentle person who shielded his huge talent so well. Cherish the memory.
I love how they admire and respect each other, these talented men always cheer me up! I hope some day I could travel to Ireland and hear some Irish music :)
I always loved the dubliners but havent listened to them as much till i left ireland almost gives me a feeling of being home " home is where the heart is" rip the dubliners
Love the music. Thought this might help someone. a) Marino Casino - 00:39 b) Gerry Cronin's Reel - 05:17 c) Denis Langton's Reel - 06:35 (I think) d) Irish Washerwoman - 07:50
RIP, Eamonn Campbell. We've lost a master to the great ceilidh in the hereafter. The Dubliners and their music are the best evidence we have of a loving creator, by whatever name.
I watch videos in youtube since a long time and I never have wanted to leave a comment. I discovered The Dubliners yesterday and I felt like: "How I never heard of them?" So I want to thank The Dubliners, because now I know my soul has a piece of Molly!
..same with me,although I am from Germany, I have spend some time in Dublin and fell in love with the country, thheir people and their music ... God bless Ireland ..
I have always been enamored with the Irish. I absorbed anything Irish after I found out as a boy they are a major part of my fathers roots. Great people the Irish
_I saw John play these tunes last Wed, Night 20/11/19 (ten years after this video was uploaded)...The man is now 80 years young and looked younger in real life than in the above video. Unfortunately the above guitarist (Eamonn Campbell) passed on a few months ago and Michael Howard (Classical Guitarist) played with him on the night. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings I've ever attended.._
undeniable, irresistible music bringing calmness and pleasantness, immediately always brings me to ground , thanks for sharing , very majestic yet very humble, close to nature ::)
Had the pleasure of Jamming with John into the early hours in 2019 at Casey's Bar at the Fiddlefair Baltimore. He must have played over 100 Walzes that weekend a lot of them he wrote himself. He's also written a little book of poems. Absolute legend ❤❤❤
People often forget - because John is such an awesome fiddler, that he is an amazing whistle player as well - check out his early versions of the belfast hornpipe :)
Time after time, I return to this video to cheer me up. I owe it to my former teacher with Irish heritage to have gotten me interested into Irish music (The Pogues). If I didn't listen to The Pogues, I would not have discovered The Dubliners. Oh, these are such lovely tunes and lovely musicians!
John Sheahan is a musical talent;) In my opinion he plays to wonderfully beautiful instruments and he plays them with such grace and skill that it becomes very pleasant to listen to! Went to a Dubliners concert the other day - and boy can they play/sing!! A wonderful experience;)
No flashing lights, no fireworks, no elaborate backdrops, no sound systems - just pure music. What more can I say?
No family get together this year due to covid so this will have to do....I always get a front seat in the house to enjoy John and Co...maybe next year.
you said it all mate
No sound system?
lol they have mics and speakers mate
The word "love".
céad míle fáilte
Not only is John Sheahan underappreciated, but so is Eamonn Campbell! He is so fantastic a guitar player. He matches John's playing perfectly!
that's why the dubs are the best those two are legends
He also matched Barney pretty well.
John Sheahan simply is the best (fiddler, tin whistle player, well maybe not the best banjo player ;) and, sadly, the last surviving member of the original formation of the Dubliners (Barny McKenna, Ciaran Bourke, John Sheahan, Luke Kelly, Ronny Drew).

you knew Jim McCann?
Eamonn is a fantastic guitar player . His timing is impecable...Absolutely beautiful music

+Mr. P. Hart Ah you give me such hope! I am 54 and started playing the fiddle a year ago. It's never too late to learn. :)
*Tunes* not songs.
... and no, it's never too late to start learning :-)
Mr. P. Hart I'm sure you'll be going to heaven lad

Ps, I'm terminally ill, tho doing okay atm, and it sure concentrates the mind. Each day so lovely in my little parallel universe.
Love listening to John Sheehan playing , he’s a maestro
The whole thing is just magic.
I have watched John sheahan play the Irish washerwomen with Andre Rieu and a full orchestra but nothing beats him playing it with just Éamon on guitar
The last remaining original Dubliner. John is an amazing musician. What a star.
I saw John, Eamonn and Barney and few other musicians play all the the Dubliners classics in Vicar Street a few years ago. It was by far the best concert I'd been to in years and I got to share it with my mam. John played The Marino waltz and it was magical. So sad that Eamonn and Barney have since passed.

Would loved to have been there with those 3❤
I just LOVE to hear these two master musicians play! Awesome! America has been Blessed by the Irish who came, bringing their music with them! This music lifts the spirits as nothing else can!
After nearly 9 months of quarantaine this still makes me smile, lovelely and beautifull

@@augustinepa1240 thanks for that👍🏻😉
It’s now 15 years since I heard this and it lives free in my soul
I think John Sheahan is one that's not usually in the spotlight but he's been crankin' out the fiddle parts as well as the tin whistle parts for a while, and he's mighty talented! I wonder what he's like as a person
It's like Santa playing the best music ever
+El Buen Santi haha yea, first thing that came to mind was santa
Santa from dublin
santa and genuinely nice looking krampus
John Sheahan is Irish Santa
:D Eamonn Campbell would be happy to hear that, he is funny lad himself.
Irish music always puts a smile on my face. The Irish have faced way more than their share of bad times, but somehow manage to make the most optimistic music. I'm very glad about that.
A glass of Guinness never hurts😊

May John Sheahan live forever!
such an inspiration and amazing entertainer.
😊😊
I had the chance to meet John Sheahan in person ... and even play with him .. he's sure the nicest person you can imagine.
All the talent we have lost from this band over the years is heartbreaking ..
The Irish in me melts my heart when I hear music like this.
Proof that God loves us, and that She wants us to be happy!
Just let them at it. Two real musicians. Well done guys.
You know great musicians when there's only two of them and they have the whole audience engaged with them. Wish I could see something this awesome live. Maybe someday we won't be in quarantine 2020. 😊
Not Irish but married to a first-generation Irish lady. Love their music!
I was threetimes working in Ireland, since I love this country and its music!!
OK thanks just listened
Drunk
Sorry

Real folk and masters of instruments, again and again. That's what we need with love. Thank you.
I really liked that! From the beginning it was great but when he switched to the tin whistle it was fabulous. The tin whistle brought to the tune a really authentic Irish quality. Such a humble but noble instrument. Love it!

John SHEAHAN is a great great musician. This is awesome. Mariethe from France

Irish music is truly the BEST !!! It makes me happy every time i listen to it 🤗💖
What a perfect duet. John plays just beautifully especially with the pin whistle and it's just a pure joy to watch Eamonn play.
When he brought out that flute my heart beat a little faster, and my mind became peaceful.
nothing better to see then those playing with large smiles
Beautiful piece of music emotional 😮😮😮😮😮
Rip Eamonn you were always so happy and always smiling farewell old friend .thank you for the music craic and laughter.
Love the Dubliners, love this music, and love John's beard!!!

Beautiful music!

In my opinion this group is the best for this music style so I love them. :) Greetings from Turkey :)

I love the dubliners. The irish people are so lucky to have the dubliners team. God bless them
Well, the Dublin ppl anyway.
Of course Dublin is not Ireland.
I love Irish music
Beautiful , thank you both.
I love washerwomen too!
Love this, beautiful music.
People often forget - because John is such an awesome fiddler, that he is an amazing whistle player as well - check out his early versions of the belfast hornpipe :)
Dungeons and dragons. I'd wish I could have him with me as a "Bard" in my company of fellows.
I just love these guys. Have seen them many times over 40 years, so sad that many are no longer with us.
John Sheahan is still extant Praise the Lord. He played at Shane MacGowan’s funeral on 8 December, as brilliantly as you’d expect.
Just what I need for the soul today,with thanks and love from Israel.
I love Dublin, I love the Dubliners.
OK tears now? Always bring me tears. So Lovely
Très belle interprétation de ces deux artistes. Bravo !!
What great music from two maestros.Make ya want to jump round the house.Truly love cheile music and none better than these guys

Super! Excellent!!!! Thank you!!!!!
A master at his trade ,,,,,,thank god ive got all the recordings of the dubs ,,,,,,truly missed
Time after time, I return to this video to cheer me up. I owe it to my former teacher with Irish heritage to have gotten me interested into Irish music (The Pogues). If I didn't listen to The Pogues, I would not have discovered The Dubliners. Oh, these are such lovely tunes and lovely musicians!
OMG....what awesome performance!!!! Bravo!!

I.m spanish....but I.m loved your culture and folk...your history. Long live to Eire..Ireland..Hibernia.
John Sheahan has to be the most well rounded and technically competent bastard it has ever been my great fortune to listen to x
Cracking tunes from a bunch of absolute legends!
John Sheahan is the world's best. Erin go bragh!
Beauty personified and expressed . Glorious stuff !
John Sheahan is a musical talent;) In my opinion he plays to wonderfully beautiful instruments and he plays them with such grace and skill that it becomes very pleasant to listen to!
Went to a Dubliners concert the other day - and boy can they play/sing!! A wonderful experience;)
So lovely and dreamy. Thank you so much for sharing.
they are both masters of their craft
This makes me feel in tune with nature, even without moving 🌴🌴
They look like the sweetest grandpa and his best friend who i love to share my garden adventure stories with..
What a fantastic musician John Sheahan is. I thought I could play the fiddle some but after this it'll have to go to the auction room!
WONDERFUL!
Belo musical. Muito bom pra meditação viajando pelo nosso amado universo. Parabéns aos Mestres da música.
Some of the most wonderful music I"ve heard!
