Eileen Ivers is the only musician I've ever sprung to my feet to give a standing ovation without first checking to see if anyone else was standing. This sort of performance is why.
The percussionist is Kimati Dinizulu. He is a genius and one of the premiere African percussionists in the world. He is all over Eileen's early albums.
Don't forget Seamus! And Johnny with long hair and his old Takamine guitar! It's hilarious! Great stuff this! Thought I'd never get to see Chanting House (more or less) play live!
This is the first time seeing Theona Ritchie after hearing Thistle and Shamrock over so many years and wondering what she looks like. Radio - theater of the mind. . first song is Julia Delaney. Sorry, can't identify the second one Seamus is playing.
Played with her for 10 years. It's not about the instrument. It's about the pickup. She only uses it for the electric recordings. All the main tunage on her albums are with her range of beautiful acoustic fiddles. you throw a shit guitar with an amazing pickup It's gona sound incredible. I hope it all makes sense. That zeta has never seen a real sessiun only stage. Also she is sponsored by them.

Fantastic!! I think he's the best flute player I've ever heard!

Chanting house without Susan McKeown. An awesome short lived band
Too fast , but great
It's... iffy... the higher pitched drums tend to drown out the flue a bit for me. It is a little annoying, though...
why would such a ridiculous fiddler want to play such a shite electric violin?! :( such a shame.
