  • Recorded at the Irish World Academy with uilleann piper Cillian Roche. I believe the names of the tunes are as follows: "The Promenade" hop jig/ ‘The Dusty Miller’ hop jig/ ‘The Holly Bush’ reel
    ** Try earphones for more bass :P

    I come back to listen to this all the time. It’s always as fresh as the first time simply because the groove is so hard.

    That 1st tune is so powerful. Your bodhran playing is really tasteful and tight. So nice to hear trad from the "old school." Lovely

      Agreed, totally inspiring and sets a great example of true musicianship, which is collaborative above all.

    I had to listen 6 or 7 times to it before I was able to write a comment. It ist absolutely stunning what you did there, you interact in a way that becomes hypnotic and pushes one into trance in a few seconds. Never heard something like this. Thank you for sharing!

    After watching how you move your left hand on the back of the bodhran, I understand much more how important this is to change the tone of the drum. You make it look so easy. Excellent piper too.
    I recently purchased a new bodhran and assortment of beaters from a company in Dublin. Able to get a lot more different rhythms and sounds from them.
    Cheers,
    Steve.

    Have goosebumps from neck to ankles. First time I heard the pipes as a child my face was covered in happy tears. I was so deeply stirred my parents were alarmed. I didn't have the words then (too young) to explain to them.

  • @itsumonihon
    @itsumonihon 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    my goodness you are both amazing. you really should do more videos together please, this was fantastic and powerful. thanks for introducing me to this instrument. your playing reminds me much of the way indian tabla players can slide or move their hands around the drum to change the tone produced.

    I absolutely love how deeply involved both are in only the music. Cillian is great but the Bodhrán player kept my attention how she felt every upcoming beat. Well done to both.

  • @HareDeLune
    @HareDeLune 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    This year marks my 30th. year of playing the Bodhran. I am self-taught. Learned from books and listening to tapes and CD's.
    You are the only other person I've ever seen who plays the same way I do using the off-hand to get a variety of different tones to follow/complement the melody. Some other players use a simpler version of this technique, such as the great 'Ringo' McDonough, to great effect; but you are the only other person I've ever seen using a more developed version of it.
    One major difference is that I play in the older 'Kerry' style using both ends of the tipper, while you play in the Top-end style.
    Great to see someone else playing like this, Thank you for the video!

    • @NicolleFigMusic
      @NicolleFigMusic  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi Hare deLune
      Great to hear you are still playing!! listen to Jim Higgins and Martin O'Neil - among others, they are amazing at their tonal-hand! I mostly play Top-End Style too. I just have a different grip but my I do most of my triplets with both ends! Happy Tunes!

    the great highland pipes sound incredibly powerful and nothing raises the hair on the back of your neck like being around a pipe band, however the Uilleann pipes have a gorgeous sound that i think suits the solo player more, at least for certain things

    • @NiSiochainGanSaoirse
      @NiSiochainGanSaoirse ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it's all personal preference.
      I was born and reared on the mountains of Mourne, and my grandfather was a fantastic accordionist, and when he and his friends played together, the Uillean pipes felt like they plugged us in directly to the ancestors...
      the energy they generate in me is simply electrifying, and to me at least, feel like God himself comes to speak with me whenever I hear our magical Irish pipes being played...❤❤❤

      In Ireland the Bagpipes were known as Píobaí Choghaidh/War Pipes. In WWI 1500 Bagpipers/Warpipers were killed "going over top" - the majority of them were Scotish who would have called their pipes Highland Pipes. In Ireland the Uilleann Pipes (Elbow Pipes) were non-military.

  • @DetroitMicroSound
    @DetroitMicroSound 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Funny enough, it's wonderful to my ears, the way the electronic limiting of the recording equipment here, causes the bodhrán to compress the pipes in just such a wonderful way. it's a great "ducking effect" sound, PERFECT for beat-heavy dance music.... Think of the late Martyn Bennett. ❤

    I have to admit that I'm a Kevin Conneff fanboy and have had very little interest in top end style. However, your relaxed yet subtle and complex playing is winning me over. So now, I'm learning both styles and I'm using your videos as a guide. You're doing things that I didn't think could be done in top end style! Your playing is extremely tasteful and not over the top like many bodhran players now. Thank you for the inspiration!
    Aloha from Honolulu!
