James Kelly, from Capel Street, Dublin, is one of the greatest Irish traditional fiddlers alive today. He learned his music from his father John Kelly, the renowned fiddle and concertina player from County Clare. After years of careful study and practice, James began his recording and touring career at age sixteen. That year he won first place in the prestigious "Fiddler of the Year" competition and recorded his first album, a duet with his brother John. Since that time, James has toured Europe, the US, Canada and South America, and was a member of several influential Irish groups, including "Patrick Street" and the legendary folk group "Planxty." He was a presenter of the "Pure Drop" series for Irish TV and has appeared several times with the Grammy award winning Irish group, "The Chieftains." In the US, James has performed several times on Garrison Keillor's national radio show, "A Prairie Home Companion." In recent years he received the prestigious "Florida Folk Heritage Award" as well as the "Florida Individual Artist Fellowship in Folk Arts Award." James is currently the TG4 Irish traditional musician of the year, having been awarded the "Gradam Ceoil TG4 2006 Irish Musician of the Year" award in recognition of his outstanding musicianship and contributions to Irish music (TG4 is Ireland's Irish-language TV station). He has 18 albums to his credit and recently released his latest recording, "Melodic Journeys." He is currently working on a teaching DVD for fiddle students, as well as compiling his over 800 compositions for publication. He continues to tour with some of Irish music's leading accompanists.

Never heard something like this, can't believe my ears.....
I had the experience of taking a master class from James about 15 years ago at a fiddler's house, Fred Lail. He kicked my ass, and I was ready to quit playing, but it changed my life. I became an authentic-sounding Irish style fiddler.
He is not only a master fiddler, but a master teacher as well... his teaching is uncommonly good...
Great video! When I heard this the first time, I contacted him to take lessons.
I just love it when those goose pimples are coming up listening to James Kelly doing his thing. His rendition of The Foxhunter's with the drones is simply incredible and his rolls are so beautifully crisp (yet spacious and flowing) they're bound to make me cry. Wonderful stuff, that.
Fabulous fiddle playing! A true master. Absolutely brilliant "Foxhunter's Reel." Thanks, Michael.
I was going to go to the art presentation by the National Gallery of Canada this evening at the Rockliffe Community Center, about their past, present, and future exhibits but decided otherwise. Saw the sign on the road there yesterday.
Yes , manys the time I saw Old John Kelly, Joe Ryan (R.I.P. and sadly missed ), Conor Tully, Sean Casey , Noel Hill etc. all playing together in The 4 Seasons pub at the top of Capel Street.Great Days!
I 'm almost certain I must be related to these Kelly's and Jarrells of Ireland.
Have you considered venturing into some popular Canadian tunes like Buttons and Bows did at the outset of their careers. How about The Crooked Stovepipe? That would be a good start, then you could go into Quebec and beyond. Knowing that you'll always stick to your roots, just like I have!
among the best..whatever that means...that I have ever heard...!!
I'm just going into my tinkle trunk...back in a moment
Our family came from the same place in Ireland. If I am in Miami I will make every effort to ring you up.
Jim, If you want to see some dancing go to Crooked Lake, Saskatchewan. Bring the family. Bring your fiddle. They would live your playing.
Awesome talent!
Wow!! This guy IS a PURE GENIUS!!!
A popular tune here in Canando is McNabbs Hornpipe. I t was played at Barry's 21st Birthday Party by the legendary fiddlers Sir Wilfred Gillis and Malcolm Dewar. However, maybe you will be unable to do anything with it because of its distinctive melody.
