Getting married next week and having this played during the ceremony. I lived in Boolavogue for 10 years so has great memories for me. I just love this mans playing.
I have wanted so desperately for decades to learn to play the uillean Pipes. I am 57 and can play various flutes however never learned to read music. Living here in Kentucky it would be difficult but I am good on the computer and think I could learn from online somehow. I would need to buy a full set. I hope in my lifetime I can fulfill this dream and purchase and learn to play these pipes. It's definitely one of my top 'bucket list' goals in life.
This is magnificent. I come from SA but believe that somewhere in a previous lifetime I have heard this, because I just love it from the depths of my soul
From Wikipedia: Boolavogue, also spelt Boolavoge or Boleyvogue (Irish: Buaile Mhaodhóg) is a village 12 km northeast of Enniscorthy in County Wexford, Ireland. "Boolavogue" is a famous Irish ballad commemorating the Irish Rebellion of 1798, when the local parish priest Father John Murphy led his parishioners into battle on May 26, 1798. The Wexford insurgents were eventually defeated at the Battle of Vinegar Hill on June 21. Father Murphy and the other rebel leaders were killed. In the story I read, Father Murphy was beheaded by the victors, who stuck his severed head on a pole outside the village.
I have been to Wexford Ireland, lovely place, long harbour front and every house is a pub. the also have a long bridge crossing the slaney river, and in the 1798 rebellion, the brits hung a rebel from each pole that held the bridge up, and as I said there were many poles!! erin go bragh!!
What can I say. Davy Spillane is the master of all masters when it comes to slow airs. And of course, as always, this is another of Aly Bain's outstanding performaces. There is a lot of info on this tune and the lyrics on "the session" site. Must go, have the notes in G major and have to learn it.
Excellent performance. The real title of the first air, though, is not "Bon Lavogue" but Boolavogue (Buaile Mhaodhóg): the parish of the song's famous "Father Murphy of the County Wexford".
Davy is the man.. So funny to see so many tune nazis on one post.. And by the way second tune is actually Mrs Macleod of Raasay (Neil Gow Collection).. I've learned so many tunes by ear and try to keep the names lined up but in the end at that matters is that we play them..
My favourite Irish air! But once again: could we not have the title of this "thread" changed to the far more accurate Boolavogue or (in Irish) Buaile Mhaodhóg? "Bon Lavogue" [sic] must surely be a typo.
Poiniant and tearful.
For my people, who suffered and struggled against those arrogant and heartless ... . Always Thankful!

My heart is so moved!

The Irish fought with the Boers, they where called the Transvaal bridage (Irish commandos) late 1800s maybe you have lineage
@@derekobeirnes482 only the second song is Scottish - Mrs MacLeòid of Raasay in the Niel Gow Collection

Boolavogue is the spelling of the place name on Google Maps, with alternative spelings Boolavoge or Boleyvogue.
Well, shit. Such a shit story attached to an awesome little piece of music. The Irish have their fair share of bitter/sweet.
I have been to Wexford Ireland, lovely place, long harbour front and every house is a pub. the also have a long bridge crossing the slaney river, and in the 1798 rebellion, the brits hung a rebel from each pole that held the bridge up, and as I said there were many poles!! erin go bragh!!
At that point in humanity again.
Rise or accept Tyranny.

Class
Aly Báin playing the violin is somewhat hypnotic.
Finally found it !
I like stuff like this
Tomscotland, As mark of respect to Ireland would you mind changing the name of the slow air to it's proper name! Thank you.
Davy Spillane on Uilleann Pipes

Love these tunes! Who are the players? thanks for posting this beautiful music video.
What heart would this not soften?

this is absolutely amazing.....incredible. any chance anyone have this on mp3 ??
The name is "Boolavogue"
I wonder would Tomtscotland tells us where he got the name Bon Lavogue from????
It's a pity that Mr Tomtscotland didn't do the right thing and give the first tune it's proper name!!
@JEANETTE60
It is not bon anything. It is Boulavogue followed by Miss McLeod's Reel OK!
Excellent. Is Davy left-handed?
Yes hes a lefty on the pipes like myself. It encouraged me to keep going myself.
I know the name is wrong. I don't care. The music is out of this world. These guys should be Knighted.
o bejasas !
I posted another version of Mrs McLeod/McLeod's Reel under the title "Uncle Joe" (its American name)from Aly Bain's earlier TV series "Down Home"

The bluegrassish guitar accompaniment on the reel ruins it for me, but good playing nonetheless.
That's superb
