Somewhere near the top of my list is Swallow's Tail Reel. But then, I was introduced to Irish music by the Dubliners. Barney was such a master on the banjo.
Well, the listening part is the hardest. So if you are just hearing stuff and paying attention, you're doing most of the work. Glad you could stop by, and thanks for the nice note.
So pleased to see you again. Thank you very very much both of you for sharing these marvellous irish tunes. I will... no I start to practice right now. I am very enthusiastic about it. Merci beaucoup ! I go back to the video, bye now.
How cool Shannon you know that Dalriada Brothers album from that Lserlight INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT collection it was in this album that I got to know the wonderful songs of Ireland!
Great video, Heatons! Good fun to see how fast one can spot the tune (if at all). This one deserves sequels, so I'll throw in five favorites of mine, of different types: Mist-Covered mountain (jig), Farewell to Whalley Range (slip), Palm Sunday (slide), Dark Island (waltz), Lads of Laois (reel)
What a great list . Those e minor tunes are just Gawjus. Perhaps a couple of favourites of mine might be Battle of Waterloo, Brenda Stubberts , and Eileen Oge ( Pride of Petravore ) and last but not least Athol Highlanders . I’m going to play that vid again 😀🥰
Hi Shannon and Matt, I saw your top 10 video yesterday but had to run out afterwards. Excellent presentation! How about A: Top 10 flute friendly tunes B: Top ten "most beautiful" Irish dance tunes. C. Top ten dance tunes composed in the last 50 years You and Matt must agree on list B and C.. An exercise in marital harmony!
What a wonderful video. I am nearly sure that I would not be able to record something like this without making a quarrel with my wife :D You are the perfect couple
@@ShannonHeatonMusic here is a funny sorry …a man came to play with us this Saturday at our pub…said he was Dave from Boston …I immediately said do you know Matt and Shannon heaton , he said no ! I said big loss, they are amazing…so go and find them ! I told him about your TH-cam channel and your website etc… I told him if he meets you to say Hi from Lisa , from the Peg ! 😉 I hope he finds you for sessions 😀. Super nice guy! I wish I lived in Boston to play flute with you! ☺️
Agree with every tune, but let me add, in no particular order: Rights of Man Road to Lisdoonvarna Farewell to Ireland Lark In The Morning The Musical Priest Dennis Murphy's Polka Sean Ryan's Polka Swallow Tail Jig Merrily Kiss The Quaker Drowsy Maggie Every session goer knows these. Honorable mention goes to a tough tune, namely The Bucks of Oranmore.
GREAT additions here! There are so many others. And we'd all probably give different lists on different days. But I really think you've got your finger on your hit parades here.
People just LOVE a list. I love the commentary.
It was pretty funny to MAKE the list... and then go for it with the comments!
Very cute ending a la Star Wars. I love many of the tunes you picked. Joe Cooley's followed by Wise Maid is a lot of fun.
Haha! Yes, it was fun and funny to put this together, Jim. And Cooley's + Wise Maid is such a classic.
Somewhere near the top of my list is Swallow's Tail Reel. But then, I was introduced to Irish music by the Dubliners. Barney was such a master on the banjo.
Good one. Yep, that is another classic. So was Barney McKenna, for sure.
This is waaaay advanced for me but I enjoy listening in and you totally increase my vocabulary!!!

So excited that you feel enthusiasm from this, Francis! Thanks for checking out the video, and happy to have some tunes together with you.
@@ShannonHeatonMusic On top of all of your talent you are very kind. Merci beaucoup !

Thank you 😊what a great list😊 I would add my favorite tune the Belfast hornpipe 😊
Nice, Sean. Of course we omitted almost everything, right?
I was taught Kid on the Mountain as a six part tune (which is also how it's annotated in O'Neill's 1001)
Good, Steve. Thanks for that. We don't typically do that last part.
Great video, Heatons! Good fun to see how fast one can spot the tune (if at all). This one deserves sequels, so I'll throw in five favorites of mine, of different types: Mist-Covered mountain (jig), Farewell to Whalley Range (slip), Palm Sunday (slide), Dark Island (waltz), Lads of Laois (reel)
Good! Hope you were quick with identifying the tunes.. And those are great ones there. Especially Dark Island. Le best.
Whew! Now my work is cut out for me….but seriously, this could be a fun project.. newbie that I am..
Yes! A good (and useful) project, so you'll be able to join in. So great that you are working on these tunes, Cheryl. Fun to have you here.
Thank you for the tunes, your comments about each tune really helped as well
Yes! It's meant for fun, and also a little info. Glad you enjoyed it, Jim!
Thanks so much for these; marvelous tunes, and I actually know some of them!
Ha ha
hurray! There are so many, for sure. No need to know 'em all.
What a great list . Those e minor tunes are just Gawjus. Perhaps a couple of favourites of mine might be Battle of Waterloo, Brenda Stubberts , and Eileen Oge ( Pride of Petravore ) and last but not least Athol Highlanders . I’m going to play that vid again 😀🥰

@@ShannonHeatonMusic And we both missed Blarney Pilgrim! What was I thinking?
Me: They all sound the same to me.
McMiller: No they don't.
Haha! Well, there are definitely common elements from tune to tune...
