A left handed flute?

2023 real music

The cream of the crop, both of them. I've heard Donnelly play as though he is playing on another planet. But the amazing thing is that he can play with his feet planted firmly on Earth too. McGoldrick's playing is superb also.

Brilliant Performance Guys Well Done

A joy to listen to. Ceol den scoth

Amazing.... Thank you

Very therapeutic :D

So sad to hear the recent news of Dezi's passing away... Him and Michael will be remembered as one of the greatest traditional Irish duos of all time... His fiddle playing was the stuff of legend... So heartbreaking that Michael had to carry his coffin down the road and watch Dezi's coffin being lowered down into the earth... Truly touches my soul. Rest in peace Dezi, you will never be forgotten...

G# key to cut the A at 1:59. nice

Ballyduff v Listowel

Magnifique!!

Over 100,000 views!! Well done Mike and Dezi!

The Rainy Days/ The Queen of May/The First Month of Summer

Just notice how traditional flute players most of them close their eyes when they play. It is the sound of the instrument, the tone and flow of the tune. Such a great sound to be taken away with and being lost in the music.

Mike McGoldrick is playing at the Union Chapel on the 27th

@Patchbod I'm not a fluter myself and there might well be more to it, but generally when people talk about piper's grip they mean that someone is using the undersides of their fingers to cover the holes rather than their fingertips. If you look at some clips of uillean pipers you'll notice that's how they hold the chanter.

Amazing!

I got one when I went to Irish 6 years ago but I lose it only three song I save in my computer left I love watermans the most

What's the name of the reel tune played by mike here at 4:28?

Three of the best reels ever heard... strange version of the Rainy Day.. lovely!

first tune reminds me of the concert reel

Monday nights at the 32 Club, all those years ago...

The pipers grip isn't necessarily the second pad of fingers....

Of course! Fused is cool! :)

The last tune is one of the most impressive i've ever heard ! I was just in a trance state of mind ! Thank you for the music !

this is brilliant

@wolfman49er Well, not necessarily the "proper" way...I play with the flute to the right, but if you ARE lefty, then you can play that way too! I play Boehm flute too, and do not find it particularly hard to blow the wooden flute...harder are the fingering changes. I have a keyless and have to place my fingers in wickedly odd positions (for a silver flute player) to get proper notes. Even a keyed flute would probably not help much as the keys are not the same! Love the Irish flute though!

Thanks for uploading. Both are incredible musicians. Saw McGoldrick playing with Mark Knopfler last year. I really respect his patience while Dezi is playing on his own. I'm sure his fingers would be just itching to join in.

i know both of these, claim to fame anyone?

Quality

@wolfman49er You are correct ...even a good classical player can have problems with the different''blow'' on a wooden instrument .I recently gave a wooden Boehm flute head (thinned) to a trad player and he did not like it either. I also found this to be the case with a clasical player(professional) of a metal Boehm model. That seems to be the way it is ....though there are exceptions!

Grand bit of flute playing ...melodius!

Great-here's part 2-fab!

What a lovely pair.

They is AMAZING!!!

I can only guess the 2 people who "disliked" this had a momentary spasm of the fingers and clicked it by accident.

@breandandoire I completely agree with ye there my friend! Well said! Just one thing - it'd be the plural "go raibh maith agaibh" if you're sayin' it to the two lads - but ye couldn't have put it better there! The quality just shines through in every note and ornament here and really highlights how long these guys have been playin' together. They can read each other so well and adjust their dynamics automatically to match the other .

Now that they've changed the layout... er... add another hand doing the thumbs up thing. (I preferred the stars)

I can't rate this enough... Add the 6th star for this one lads. Beautiful! Great stuff!

@UberDeathTurtle havent heard that one yet! must try get it

Queen of May M McG actually says this in the video

Tune from 2.35 ??
