The scary thing about this to me is that as good as it all sounds, he didn't win it that year. If that's not top-notch, what the heck did the winner sound like?!
I wanted to know why he looked angry as well and looks like i missed the chance since someone deleted his reply. whether it contained that elusive information i shall never know and must remain in the dark forever more!
Class playing from a great musician.
Interesting that all three of these tunes feature on his brilliant ‘Ego Trip’ album - I wonder if they’re particular favourites of his?
I think the hornpipe is called the Golden Eagle? Joe Burke recorded it too if i'm not mistaken.. :)
Yes, it was preceded by The Humours of Ballyloughlin, a 4-part jig, then followed by The College Groves reel, also 4-parts (usually.) Great player.
This great player starts making music at 1:40.
I've decided mac is def the badboy of the irish fiddle community so hes bound to ruffle a few feathers in his wake.
Does anyone know the names of the 3 tunes, especially the jig?
I think he looks much better now! :) Great musician! :))))))
Must be over 50 now.
@spaceydude I don't know what you are referring to here. Please clarify.
Lovely Fiddle player

all ego aside hes a great player! :D keep coming back to relisten to his tunes.
he should have saved some of that hair

Seeing Mac's musical career in spite of his amount of talent, something tells me the winner didn't necessarily sound better.

He was waiting for everyone to settle down.
Mac Dara was soooo cute as a young fella. Where did it all go wrong?
Why is he just sitting there at the start?
Because the film maker choose that,,checking to be in tune you see wsose that us'ns can tune to him to learn/hear the tune
crehan production's it's a competition, he has to wait till the judges give the go ahead.
Sounds like a jig to my unknowing ear :) but then I could be wrong, in fact I usually am :)
siamterry Starts off with a jig, then into a hornpipe, then a reel
You are quite right :) After that rather strange long wait intro I guess I didn,t listen long enough !
Cuz he is! He's as mad as a hatter! HAHAHA! It's amazing what 18 yrs will do to you.
Did you ever get yer teeth fixed Dwayne?
