Oh no I came here to show my young son this amazing duet only to read that Dennis has left us. I'm really sad. Dennis you brought me such joy for so many years and it was always my hope to see you and Martin live in person. In the next life now. Go well.
I still remember the night back in 1998 in a 12th century cathedral in Limerick, I sat totally entranced by you two. I'd never been in a building that old and I'd never experienced the soul of music in the way I did there. I was saddened to hear of Dennis's passing.
RIP my friend from a million moons ago Dennis Cahill 😢 Shout out to Martin Hayes, as soon as I heard your violin it brought me back to the Abbey Pun days in Chicago 💜💜💜💜
Martin is that rarity among musicians, he has the the depth of the deepest river, the clarity of birdsong in the early morning, and the willingness to just set himself up and let his emotions flow freely -- all through his virtuoso skills and musical ability. I doubt if there is a better fiddler anywhere, in this given time and space --
I saw them a number of times at the Freight - always sat in the front row mere feet from them. They were the only performers I ever saw at the freight to get a standing ovation at the end of their first set.
Didn't these two influence so much about traditional music ? They changed so many people's world. I remember them bring the opening act and people went so nuts they had to have a major intermission to let people calm down, LOL The main act never commanded the attention of the audience . It was so awesome every time I saw them.
First tune dunno, second tune slip jig Will You Come Down to Limerick, third tune reel The Old Bush, dunno the rest! Consummately performed by Martin Hayes with all the traditional variations (and others of his own devising) that most people don't hear. Immersive. Hayes has no peer.
I see the moment, when Dennis is trying to remember what is it about from 5:40 till 6:00 and fortunately founds. This is absolutely great that you are working in team guys! Have more development in future and thank you very much for such good music in our times! P.S. Second link doesn't work now.
This is just awesome. I got a copy of the "Welcome Here" CD as a "door prize" at a concert by the Tannahill Weavers, sponsored by the Green Willow Folk Club in Wilmington, DE. I LOVE it!
He used to play at the sessions in Chicago and I went to listen. There was a sweetness in his playing. That was over 20 years ago. The last time I heard him play his playing was more aggressive and very technical.
That opening tune ‘Ar Bhruach Na Carraige Báine’ (or ‘the edge of the white rocks’) is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking Irish melodies ever. Even more poignant if you know the lyrics.
Can anyone tell me what are the tunes in this medley? It's so brilliant. 1. Ar Bhrnach an Carraige Baine 2. One of Paddy Fahey's jigs? 3. ? 4. Joe Banes Barndance? 5. ? 6. ?
I want to know if he has steel tops on his shoes to get that beat.Also notice how the bow hardly moves as he plays. I also see a lot of use of the 4th. finger..OK back to practice...
It’s funny, yes the fourth finger is used when it’s needed… but if you watch (especially that first slow air), you see he specifically uses the open E and A strings, rather than the use of fourth finger for the same note. Only at key points, and for that clean, open sound…like he could use a fourth finger E on the A string, but goes ahead with open E… it’s the effect. Yet I know classical people that would be offended by this. Annoying! I find fourth finger notes to be softer and more subtle than their equivalent open string notes, probably due to the more nuanced intonation required. There’s a lot of droning with the open strings and the fourth finger on the string just below. Like open E/fourth finger E Martin does here a few times. I rather slide into it quickly with my third finger. Idk why! My fourth finger kinda hits the open string maybe, not super arched. I like the feeling of sliding into it. The key is to not make it noticeable, unless it’s meant to be, for effect.
Solas recorded a heartbreakingly beautiful version on their album “The Hour Before Dawn,” in 2000. With the trad lyrics in Irish, sung by Deirdre Scanlan… and lovely accompanying arrangements by Seamus (on electric guitar), Winnie, John, and Mick :-)
It’s originally a song with lyrics called “Ar Bhruach an Carraige Báine,” AKA, along the edge of the white rocks. It’s about a man who is admiring a lovely lady in town, and in his mind he’s promising her the world; hats, clothes, honeybees buzzing with music just for her, and of course a horse-drawn carriage, to take her “around the edge of the white rocks.”
Martin Hayes never uses a shoulder rest of sort? Dennis Cahill was pure genius, made them both compatible. I miss not listening to them both very much.
I'm so glad I was able to see them several times and also video them. I wish I could have seen The Gloaming but they played in NYC only once and tickets were only available to a select audience.
Well when you’re born and raised in County Clare, it’s about as natural as it can be😂 Even more so, given who his peers, mentors and superiors were as a kid!
Missing you Dennis Cahill. Rest easy wherever you are.
Nonsense. He'd better be giggin' his rocks off...

So amazing musicians ever Martin with Dennis top of the line ever RIP Dennis this amazing
These two work together like a well oiled machine. Saw them 10 years ago in Milwaukee and was probably the best musical performance of my life.
I caught these guys a few years ago at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley. It was a magical eve that I will remember forever!
I saw them a number of times at the Freight - always sat in the front row mere feet from them. They were the only performers I ever saw at the freight to get a standing ovation at the end of their first set.
Two of the best, no doubt! Sometimes I'm in a Hayes/Cahill mood, sometimes Doyle/Carroll. Brilliant!
Excellent guys! Greetings from Hungary! Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing the talent of Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill:-) Together they are perfection!
Just astonishing together. Something very special.

I've just died and gone to heaven...wow my friends.xxx
The best Irish Fiddler on the planet

Makes me happy. So beautiful
He always leaves one with beautiful emotions🥰 If I may ask, is this your favorite song?
I see the moment, when Dennis is trying to remember what is it about from 5:40 till 6:00 and fortunately founds. This is absolutely great that you are working in team guys! Have more development in future and thank you very much for such good music in our times! P.S. Second link doesn't work now.

💙💙💙 I didn’t know he’d left us … 😱😥
agreed
What's the name of the first song?

Look up Solas - Bruach Na Carraige Baine it’s the best version with vocals IMO.

Kenny G. Hayes. Jesus.
I’m surprised they never collaborated. Or maybe they have met.
Martin Hayes a musical prophet. Thank God organised religion is on the way out.
Lunasa
Where?
thats not natural.
Well when you’re born and raised in County Clare, it’s about as natural as it can be😂 Even more so, given who his peers, mentors and superiors were as a kid!
