far more than 10 years ago i used to listen to this every day and it touched me in a way hard to discribe. i love this piece of art. thank you for sharig it! this is what youtube was about in its early days... genuine stuff from the heart.
Whew! Amazing set. Several people have identified the first two slides (Denis Murphy's and the Brosna). The last slide is Where is the Cat? or Hush the Cat. (or about 8 other names)
just got told to stop tapping my feet by me misses in the other room!!! grrr laminated flooring, this is great i love this music and could listen to it all day long
Well im a 16 year old heavy metal rocker who plays in a rock band and solo's, but i love kicking back with the acoustic and playing some Irish jigs and reels =) =) =)
You can find the first 2 slides in Matt Cranitch's fiddle tutorial, "The Irish Fiddle Book: The Art of Traditional Fiddle-Playing". It is available on Amazon.
This is great. I love old talented fogies that are really passionate about folk. The problem is there aren't enough of us young ones carrying on the tradition. How many teenagers do you see playing Irish folk?
Just read a comment way down below from a ‘Gus’ 10 years ago lamenting lack of youngsters playing Trad “How many youngsters do you see playing traditional music. Answer now, 10 years later “Loads !” So good news. OK so maybe I see it in the right areas of Ireland, as well as Trad of all sorts across regions of UK. As for areas without much / any Trad amongst youngsters, like to think just hasn’t reached them yet.
This is commonly true. However, there are instruments that are now made specifically for fiddle playing as the technique involved is different from classical violin. An example would be the action of the strings or the angle of the bridge.
physically a fiddle and violin are the same, but fiddle is more a STYLE of music such as celtic and bluegrass, while a violin is usually refering to classical music
ummm, his shoulder ISSSS supporting the violin, he's just using his shoulder REST to make it more comfortable, in case u didnt have one, look closely and u can see it
hello preaty nice job on it. Just a question, i been seeking a fiddle song but i don't remember exactly the mame of it, it is something like "in memory of Harvey Mc..... ' . Do you know what is it?
Are there any sheets avalible ? It just feels like "MUST BE ABLE TO PLAY THAT GREAT AS WELL XD". Serious they play great, *Starts to practice very hard*
banjodeluxe, if you want to learn violin, then get a teacher. I really suggest you that, or else you will learn false techniques, and end up not able to play everything on it. I play Irish folk myself on violin, and if I didn't had basics, it would be very hard for me.
who would dislike such awsome music if you dont like it dont dislike it just leave
Poor lovely Seamus. Old buddy, thanks for the times.
bag pipes and Irish fiddle songs are the shit i love all as long as they keep it Celtic

physically a fiddle and violin are the same, but fiddle is more a STYLE of music such as celtic and bluegrass, while a violin is usually refering to classical music
@aout02 ....could be because it was captured on an old video camera that did not have stereo sound
Ey the video is great!
But can anyone send me a message were i can learn to play the violin Irish Fiddle
style??
i would really like to! think i could on my piano? i just don't have a fiddle
ummm, his shoulder ISSSS supporting the violin, he's just using his shoulder REST to make it more comfortable, in case u didnt have one, look closely and u can see it
A fiddle and a violin are the same thing.
except there is sound in the right ear. it's simply a lot lower than the right side
hello preaty nice job on it. Just a question, i been seeking a fiddle song but i don't remember exactly the mame of it, it is something like "in memory of Harvey Mc..... ' . Do you know what is it?
If I look well, this is in one of the hotels in Ennis, Clare. Or do the hotels look the same everywhere?
lovely set lads. how can i get tune details?
is there a reason why i cant hear this thru my right side for my headset their not broken i checked on different songs
Are there any sheets avalible ?
It just feels like "MUST BE ABLE TO PLAY THAT GREAT AS WELL XD".
Serious they play great, *Starts to practice very hard*
how slides should be played people
sheet music please =D
But who are these guys?
Sorry but i'm picky, they're playing fiddle not violin. No offence. =)
Yea I know, thats great, but put the metal and the folk the other way round and thats uncommon. Not enough have the passion for folk
