I had the pleasure of attending their concert in Kimberley BC a few years back and have to credit the tenor banjo for changing my mind on the sound tenor banjo. It literally caused me to stop hating the sound and now I play one myself. Obviously not as well as this man but they really drive a tune along with a voice unlike other instruments that really cuts through. A number of years back my musical friends and I were walking away from an outdoor session and the very last instrument to still be audible was the tenor banjo. Caladh nua is a great group and I have a signed cd that reminds me of their talent every time I play it.
This performance is among my favourites across the entire TH-cam and physical media folk collection. Special kudos to the guitarist, he really sets the standard from the start :) Every single one of you shows instrumental provess that's off the scale, but the uncannily precise coordination between all of you is what really sets this piece apart. Jolly good job, thanks a bunch for this ! :) PS post even more videos, please.
How the hell does the girl play the fiddle with the pegs not swapped over, it must be impossible to plat an F on the E string, excellent set, well played
3:49 Dear goodness, she's a genius! Why bother with some string-laden stick when you can just bow your violin directly with the entire rosin cake? (I jest, but I am mad jealous of even being able to justify needing that much rosin! Some day... some day!)

Why aren't they more popular? Great sounding, feel-good music. They did a concert in my school yesterday and I loved it
That’s a good question. They are one of the all time great bands.

Ca fait chaud au cœur, intemporel. Never ending enjoying story to hear such music, many thanks.
Had a great night with Caladh Nua in Salisbury at Finbarrs .They were the best one,s so far .They even sang happy birthday to me

An innovative lefty?
David Kelley I’m a lefty, and did play a bit of fiddle, but I soon swapped the pegs over, no way I could play F natural!
I didn’t notice that she was a lefty.

Your man on the banjo was let out of his padded cell for the first time specially for this gig.

I was wondering too why aren't those feckers more famous?
They play as nicely as Dé Danann. Tá siad iontach iontach.
Beautiful! Does anyone know the names of the other (non-Gravel-Walk) tunes?
One of them must be called whelans jig
Easy on the Dapper Dan.
Is that Martin Hayes on the banjo??
His skinny brother maybe.
@@johndrake9890 yes.
He looks so like Martin Hayes. He's Eoin O'Meachair
Excuse my language, but these guys are fucking amazing players
