What an honour and a priveledge to meet Brian, Sarah, Ed and John Jo when they played to an audience of around 20 in Renmark South Australia some years ago. Not only did they deliver an evening of entrancement, they visited me at my shop the next day and have kept in touch. Real people playing the most uplifting and amazing music.
Given Brian plays on an alto F-whistle here it's absolutely mad, that he's flying up to the high E (sounding G) all the time - with such impeccable flow as well. Such a mad man!
Right?!? I’ve been studying his playing and I notice he does that a lot. So seamless. He’s amazing. Really teaching me a lot though listening to him and watching him play. He said to learn from those/learn tunes above your skill level. It challenges you and teaches you a ton! I’m following that advice and it’s making me a much better whistle player😉
the Gal amazes me standing on one foot as she plays. I would fall for sure as I would play. I play flute myself and tin whistles low and high d and learning irish drum. guys are great to my ears
I don't know why people are complaining about this- it's absolutely wonderful. It may have a modern flair, but to me it's pretty traditional anyhow. I almost always get up and dance when this plays ❤️❤️❤️
Great stuff as per usual from the Flook guys! @Michael Crowe , you dont know what you`re talking about! Flook are responsible for the modern day interest in "trad" if you wanna put it all under the one label, and the reason why so many younger people now have a huge interest in this type of music!
The ongoing interplay between tradition & innovation is what makes the Irish / Scottish / Gaelic music scene so vital & exciting, always something new. No likee? Get on your bikee Mr Crowe.
He didn't switch whistles. Whistles do have a 3rd octave. D position is the easiest, and from E starts to get tricky. You can get to an A, but it's rather unpractical already from E. This one, being a low whistle in F, can reach that 3rd octave without sounding as piercing as a D whistle. Tl:Dr it is possible, you only have to be really good at the instrument to pull it off.
Beautiful! - But why playing flute by standing on only one leg? To show how easy it is for you to play this on flute and how good you are? What is the matter?
Terrible stuff....nothing what so ever to do with Irish Traditional Music. Should never have been put on Fleadh Live..."Fleadh" is a festival dedicated to Irish Traditional Music...Try a hip-hop/rap/funk/metal festival... and neither is it Scottish Traditional Music...
The true keepers of traditional music would turn in the graves listening to that rubbish...Willie Clancy, Joe Cooley, Paddy Canny etc...etc......Please don't call it Traditional Music...more like a mongrel form of a mixture of Jazz, Pop,and the underlying Irish melody destroyed .. It may be commercial but it's NOT Irish Traditional Music. Have a word with Tony Mac Mahon (Box Player) he'll explain in detail what you're doing wrong.
***** Jazz ... Christ. It has nothing to do with jazz. It's about as close to jazz as you are to Charles Mingus. A few impromptu inversions of a melody don't equate to jazz in *any way*. Road to Errogie was written by a young Scottish fiddler a few years ago, does that mean that it shouldn't be played in public? So what if it's not Irish trad? Who are you to troll these videos and tell world-class players that they should be playing a different type of music? Do you actually see a fiddle or a bodhran or a whistle being played and decide that the musicians have no business playing anything other than Irish trad? Is that honestly the thought process?
My only point is... don't sell it as Traditional Irish Music...it's NOT and most traditional musicians would agree with me. I was born into traditional music and this type of tampering with the music is a no no. I understand that Comhaltas has received many complaints about this type of activity. Listen to the great trad. players of the past and please stop destroying the music.
***** So was I, so were a bunch of other people. Anyway, I can't understand why you think it's being sold as trad Irish. Just because the Fleadh's account uploaded it? I'm a physicist and I upload all kinds of things on my other account - that doesn't mean I'm selling it as highbrow physics.

Awwww what a lovely story! Yeah they all seem like such loving and down to earth people💗

4 instruments that sound like 10 !!!!!! What talent! just great!
as a former armagh pipers student of brian, I listen to this often especially when i most need it. Lovely piece
Each piece I listen to from Finnegan, makes me emotional in different ways. This band (and Kan too), is the real thing
this stuff is therapy for the soul

Thank you for the info (alto F whistle) 😊
Thumbs up if you thought the beginning of the video was an ad.
@Lone Ranger it was just an opening sequence
In my case it was - for Northern Ireland Tourist Board
@southerncomfortuk I wonder if the religious conflict has affected tourism over there.
Lovely man, teacher to my niece, then me, words fail. & You'll not meet a nicer man than John Jo..!
I love that Brian says “we play this especially for Eva”🥰 that’s his lady💗
Brilliant
Sublime! That is even more lovely than your album version.
the Gal amazes me standing on one foot as she plays. I would fall for sure as I would play. I play flute myself and tin whistles low and high d and learning irish drum. guys are great to my ears
Very much in the style of Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull ; )
Pure beauty ✨🍀💗
Absolutely Beautiful!
This is so awesome. Great craic! 🤘🤘
I just love the energy in this👍🙂
wow, what a session that seemed. Hope to see them at Celtic Connections 2020

Outstanding.
Lindo demais! 🇨🇮🇧🇷
Great set
Sheer brilliance
К сожалению не так хорошо знаю ирландскую традицию. Мне простительно, т.к. живу в России. Но считаю, что они великолепны)
Good old 'Glass-Eye Gael' there at the end

I’m a rampant atheist but if their is a heaven……..
how can he reach that 3rd octave at the end of the song?
German Molina - I think he might have switched whistles.
he did not. He masters the Copeland whistle, a very expensive instrument, by the way he breathes into it and by the way he presses on the holes.
Copeland is a high end whistle. 500 quid or more. he retunes it at a certain point by rotating the upper part, from D key to A key, I think
He didn't switch whistles. Whistles do have a 3rd octave. D position is the easiest, and from E starts to get tricky. You can get to an A, but it's rather unpractical already from E. This one, being a low whistle in F, can reach that 3rd octave without sounding as piercing as a D whistle.
Tl:Dr it is possible, you only have to be really good at the instrument to pull it off.
That's not a Copeland. Brian plays Goldie whistles.
Name this tune ?
1st- Tiadh Rabhartaigh 2nd-Road to Errogie

Perhaps she was raised by herons.
It worked for Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull!)
0:20 for anyone who wants to skip that awful intro music

Replied to your comment on the Zoe Conway video - but you're obviously beyond hope. Sad.
