Thank you for this. Being on the wrong side of the Pond, I don't get to see interviews/have conversations with artists doing the sort of stuff I'm passionate about as often as I would like. This fills that void a little bit.
I've to get up for a flight in three hours and should be asleep ages ago yet I can't stop watching this... Excellent stuff Myles, great insight into the traditional music scene in Ireland - plenty of hugely talented artists here who I've encountered before and some new names too - great to give them exposure in your own artistic way, love your work!
As an Irish Australian Ive thought for some time that something extraordinary was happening in Irish folk/traditional music,,an interfusion of modern/traditional,,,a new plateau,But I guess music lovers everywhere have seen it I asked TG4 to make a documentary about it,,but now youve done it, A superb film, We Irish are worldwide,,Irish music is our lifeblood, Diaspora,,stupid word,When Joyce was in Zurich where was Dublin, But Irish music has universal appeal,,,some of the best players now are Japanese German Swedish, I think it has to do with the Indo European origins of Irish music, Oh well, Pity the Saxon stranger is on heat again, You use the Celtic calendar to date Xmas, Buy a foal off the travellers
Oh man that was outstanding!!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for making this documentary and sharing with us for free. I´m from Buenos Aires Argentina and I have a celtic irish folk (kind of) called Bardo´s folk This film is an incredible amount of information to all of us. Thanks again and again. Cheers!!
Incredible 'bandwidth' analogy at 4:36 I had intended on just watching the opening few minutes and putting it aside til tomorrow evening but now I'm committed. Feels illegal that I get to see great content like this for free, especially when I know how much time and talent goes into producing a documentary. Where/how can I donate a few bob?

Half way through -- this is wonderful! Have you seen the documentary "Sound of Heimat"? It's made by a New Zealander who travels Germany looking for its traditional music (which,we'll just say, for historical reasons is hard to find) or its influences in modern music. Well worth a watch, if you can find it.
Hi! My dad said to watch this. He brought me straight to Cormac Begley at 6:23, I'm a concertina player myself... Do you have any idea what tune that is? The minute I heard it I was blown away, and I've never heard one of those kinds of concertinas. I need to find a website or video which gives a rundown of all the different types ^-^. Went right to the end to get the baby concertina 'Maggie in the Woods'...
@@jasperkaye5721 you absolutely godsend, now I can get some kind of notes for this on the session hopefully, I oy wish I could get me hands on a baritone/bass (?) concertina ^-^!

"You're out of tune, mate!"
"I'm in tune with the fekkin bees"
That final statement from Brian rings so true. Pure wisdom from a fantastic musician. Great documentary, I was hooked from the beginning.
Great film

It is reassuring to see that such talent and spirit still breathes in today's uncertain times
What a blessed discovery. This is the internet at its best. Inspirational educational film. Thanks for making and posting.
Inspirational. Full of melancholy beauty, music and landscape.

I must have scrubbed back to Cormac Begley's concertina performance about 50 times. That was sublime.
Thank you Myles for another absolutely fascinating and beautiful film. thank you thank you

Well done! I have come to the music late in life but this fim gives me inspiration to explaore it more deeply with what time I have left.

A truly wonderful film! Did anyone catch the name of the slow air that Caoimhín mentions around 3:42?
Love all the songs actually haha! Is there a list or something?

What song are Radie and Cormac playing at 28:15 ?
I had to laugh at the end there :D
