I think I'm better beginning to understand why so many people compare Lunasa to the Bothy Band. There are definitely similarities. This was definitely one of the best groups that has ever been.
Thanks Bilko1234 for the amazing collection of music you've posted. I've been playin guitar a good few years now and have only recently fallen for trad.Didn't know where to start but Mícháel Ó Domhnaill grabbed my attention straight away,absolutely love this tune.Anybody out there got any tips on playin it?(on guitar that is)
@richardyingren you know i was just thinking this same thought its really amazing they never even plan how they would arrange their music this is proof of the skill of real irish musicians they just play and feel the way to expressing the tune fantastic!
@omarshinken I genuinely thought you were going to come back with some form of educated reply, instead you play the mother card. Sure sign of someone without the mental capacity to conduct any form of discussion.
@oneofmanykinseys better still just dont play guitar it just dont feel right in this music and i love the bothy band but jesus save me from guitar players
This is absolutely world class. Such pure beauty ❤
I am James Wynne my great uncle was Martin Wynne-- it is great to hear this again and see that he is still relevant today !! thank you
A Sligo man by the sound of the name ?
Very much so! I have been returning to these records endlessly since I discovered them in my early 20's.
All hail to your great-uncle!
It's like speed metal to an Irish folk lover.
Never gets old.
spiritual, cleansing, healing music that I am grateful for and grateful I get to play some of it with good friends in the session. Hail!
Am I the only one in my 20's still loving these recordings? Pure magic!
Absolutely spellbinding chord progression through the A part in the Jolly Tinker (2nd tune)
2nd reel is The Longford Tinker. Brilliant arrangement.
Oh thanks I have been looking everywhere for the longford tinker for school
The fluency is from many years of practice. The impeccable timing is probably as much inherited as trained.
This is mighty music. I notice that they seem to be giving it more pressure on the rithym section for the second reel.
this is them at their Best!

Pure class! cheery up music for the exhausted..lol
I can't believe something this incredible only gets three thousand views. Where are the other You Tube-ers spending their time?
Thank you for all these wonderful uploaded moments!
This is what heaven sounds like in the spring.

Magical music. thanks
what an intro
I know right? Love that part in particular.
Agree these guys have never been topped. Altan and Lunasa are close behind though...
Pure brilliance
SPECTACULAR!
Is this the best sound quality?
I wonder why they didn’t make an alboim out of it.
Sounded so great.
Ah sure they haven't aged a day. They have the magic.
Paddy is playing so good and here and just as good if not better now
Buchus le dia!
Love it!
Martin Wynne's with an apostrophe, actually. Martin Wynne was a famous Sligo fiddler.
I always like the old Bothy Band stuff.
This is the equivalent of a gauntlet being thrown.
Not so many since able to pick it up.
Miraculous!
As Quoted from another fan... The ACDC of Trad.
Wow
powerful
The second tune is The Longford Tinker. Not Longford Collector
... a genius
Cathain a mbeidh FULL HD ar fáil?
Beodh sé iontach mar sin!
GRMMA! :)
trop court ont en veux pllus !
Does anyone know the name of this extraordinary fiddler?
Kevin Burke. Another Sligo man.
That's the extraordinary Kevin Burke. Check out his album If the Cap Fits, surely his finest hour.
Is Micheál Ó Domhnaigh an ceann is fearr le Kevin! ^^
Agus is breá liomsa Tríona fósta! Tá sis e chomh galanta is gleoite-álainn-deas!
@skara100 Too bloody right!!!!!!!!!!!!
such a great tune! Anyone know the guitar chords?
@danstaun tune your guitar to DADGAD from the top down, follow his shapes and then feel the music man!!
@zenreeful yes he was a IRA explosive expert who works for oxfam :)
Anybody know the name of the second tune?
please someone know what chords he's playing?
sounds like Bm A G
but i cant figure if he plays dadgad or normal
oh ok capo on 2Nd fret
pretty sure its DADGAD, its a standard across the style but there are often variations.
@Odiseo2 Kevin Burke
*Longford Tinker (durrrr sorry)
It's actually called Martin Wynnes.
@rfdarsie they are far behind
