Kan Night Ride To Armagh

[@FolkieWhistler]

Here I am almost in 2024 and still coming back to this priceless jewel ☘️

[@joemajerus]

Over the past 5 years I’ve come back to this video over and over again-like dozens of times. I’ll randomly think of it and just have to pull it up. JUST CAN’T GET OVER IT. I feel certain I’m not alone. Any other cult classic type listeners of KAN out there?

[@ConnorKonecnik]

I can attest that you are not alone! I currently have their CD in my car!

[@jeremyyork3538]

You certainly aren't alone Joe. This piece is so dynamic, 'driving', compelling, evocative, racy and just downright gorgeous! Nice to know there are others out there who feel the same when they listen to this phenomenal performance.

[@ariellelionessofYah]

You’re not alone, man!

[@henripepels815]

It must have been around 1976, I was 16 y. old, when I went through the collection of our local record shop, somewhere in the Netherlands, dissatisfied with the music I'd heard sofar, when my eyes catched a cover with four people holding their instruments and forming 'The Bothy Band'. The moment I heard the first chords, I was lost and I was home. 'The maids of mitchelstown' still is hauntingly beautiful. At the time there was a Dutch band called Flairck, clearly inspired by the celtic musical tradition and with the 'Butterfly' prominent on their first album. I was on the right track, it was seeded in my soul. Long story short, I played Stivell's à L'Olympia hundreds of times. And then came bands like Shooglenifty, Kila, Lunassa, and ..... Flook. Turn on, tune in and fall apart. Again and again. Amazing. Finnegan is a gift.

[@panzerchrist5639]

So much energy here

[@fryderyk2462]

Went to Ortigueira that night, this was an absolute discovery for me...nobody could stop dancing that music. That mad whistle player, with his rhythm section travelled far above the rest...

[@jeremyd.2254]

J'ai des frissons quand j'écoute cette flûte ensorcelée!! Ce sont des prodiges on ne peut en dire plus!

[@willyjoe89ify]

This to me is just Celtic perfection! Especially get goosebumps when the crowd are chanting 'hey' in time with the music! Definitely one of my all time favourite performances of all time! Oh and we definitely need a live album of this show!

[@ActosManagement]

We are very glad that you like it. We are trying to edit the albun of this live concert, I hope it will be a reality soon.

[@willyjoe89ify]

Actos Management just thought you guys should know I watch this performance every week because honestly it's THAT good! I really loom forward to a live album :D

[@ActosManagement]

We think the same as you and we have everything prepared but we lack some small details to edit it. I hope it will be soon.

[@derekconroy415]

This gives Me so much positive energy🙏🙏and I only can dream that I could play Bass with these guys some day...Bless you all“KAN“ and Thank you🙏

[@bertgoedermans162]

Oh how I wish I was there... This clip give me energy, over and over again.

[@gringochucha]

Any chance this live album will ever see the light of day? It would be a dream come true for me.

[@hamwhacker]

Unbelievable. So fast - I nearly got myself into a frenzy listening to that! God knows what would have happened if I had seen it live! Brilliant...

[@martinmckinney900]

One of my favourite tunes by kan. Amazing 👏👏

[@PlaiulNou]

This is very beautiful celtic music! BIG LIKE from Romania!

[@palomadealmeidalima6198]

not enough words to describe

[@federipal]

I was there!!!! Fucking brilliant music!!!!

[@canadianbacon9396]

Been a huge Brian Finnegan fan for a long time. So cool to have this guy on my album! This is a sublime performance. Well done mate!

[@ActosManagement]

It is not difficult if you get in touch, he is usually willing to collaborate with other musicians

[@canadianbacon9396]

He was a joy to work with. Tried him out on a well known cuban song. Not released yet.

[@刘丛瑞-f7h]

hello！can you just tell me something more about Kan please？

[@diamondmidnightgardener]

stumbled across this.... listened to it a few times... found everything else I could of KAN, then returned and listened to this another 20 times... I cannot get enough... almost a decade too late but how lucky am I that this is here on the net for me to listen to over and over to!?

[@diamondmidnightgardener]

I’m here again for the umpteenth time wishing Kan had this on a live album…. Cooking pizza in my front garden in Melbourne with Kan blaring!!

[@cern1999sb]

I got music chills from this music the first time I listened to it. This generally only happens with great songs that I have heard before but haven't listened to for a long time. Epic music!

[@micheleturley8758]

Layers and layers of absolute genius. Nowhere to go from here, apart from pure bliss🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍

[@カンチ-d1w]

すごいー名曲

[@aristotelesbrasil1693]

[@sapperjohn]

[@BenAbrante]

[@michaelpowers113]

Stunning music of the heart. Got to feel it in the soul.

[@thumb5647]

[@刘丛瑞-f7h]

He is the best pennywhistle player, I'm in China, can play it, too .hope to see him

[@anthonybowers7571]

[@MusicMarama]

[@donnacarroll8852]

Wow can't sit still, wish could get CD of their tunes. Love their music

[@ConnorKonecnik]

I believe you can still get their album “Sleeper” on Amazon!

[@rafipeled1920]

it seems to me that this was a concert to remember...high voltage at both ends of the stage

[@fearghusodubhthaigh7708]

Great tune from the boys again

Magnifique !!!!!!!!

[@dmitrykotov8272]

Lightly! Rithmically! Amazing!

[@stuartkirsh2633]

Tearin' it up... only wish they'd released a live cd before breaking up.

[@ActosManagement]

We have a full live concert, it is a good idea, I'll talk to them. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@maureengilmore2363]

Convince them... they're the best thing I've ever heard....such talent .!

[@TheGrumpyPianist]

They released "Sleeper" in 2012 - dunno if it's what you're looking for. It has this song on it as well as the Queen of Rangoon etc. www.amazon.co.uk/Kan-Sleeper-Music-CD/dp/B007KE1IAK

[@ThygeTheChopper]

.... yes yes yes!!

[@charlyguty6066]

Superbanda!!!

[@stuartkirsh2633]

Actos; you're welcome. While I enjoy the studio cd, Kan live does seem more dynamic.

[@ActosManagement]

Live is more dynamic and exciting. Cheers

[@fryderyk2462]

You can trust me...I was there, they were like a powertrain steaming...

[@Bankoru]

Still great

[@brassraveunit]

Possibly sickest video on KZbin

[@dmitrykotov8272]

[@anthonykellybagpipes]

Sweet Jesus ....Is Maith Liom

[@alejandrosalvador5310]

Total

[@vitodegrecis2762]

👍

[@刘丛瑞-f7h]

i really want to see him in his concerts，does anyone know how to do it？

[@ActosManagement]

Unfortunately at this time it is impossible since he has decided not to continue together as a group. Maybe in the future.

[@刘丛瑞-f7h]

Actos Management oh that is a big pity. But thank a lot for your good information.seems that he wants to play alone😖

[@MrSeedi76]

@@刘丛瑞-f7h he's playing with a band called "Flook" now. I think he switched between the two bands.

[@dannyhughes9874]

How can one become Irish??????

[@ActosManagement]

Good question.

[@adolfosotogarcia614]

A morder esquinas ,ja ja bailalo

[@flootytootie6779]

What's the name of the last tune in this medley?

[@ActosManagement]

The song is a variation on a Brian Finnegan composition called Nigth ride to Armagh that appears on his solo album "The Ravishing genius Of Bones"

[@stuartkirsh2633]

Actos; just one more thing; where/how will such a release be announced? Thanks.

[@ActosManagement]

At the moment we think about it and see what possibilities we have to carry it out. we announced on our web www.actosmanagement.com

[@m_eudk]

Why is there basque and galician flags?

[@lights779]

+M.A.V World because that's where the show was

[@jorgeguevara7742]

+MGHM And also because they are also Celts they belong.

[@jorgeguevara7742]

+lights779 Ortigueira is a city in the north of Galicia, Spain. Basque flags are not there because of the location of the city where this took place but because all of the north of Spain is mainly Celt

[@fryderyk2462]

Cause they're also Celts...legends say first Celtic god, Breogan, came from Galicia...and the Tuatha de Danann probably also came from there... See Pórtico de la Gloria at Santiago, have a sight on those celtic instruments sculpted almost thousand years ago, and tell me...

[@CarlosRodriguez-dk7ms]

Baiuca

[@yanigom]

Cómo se maneja Resines con el violín. Un grande.

[@asturianuaficionau]

Pues no veas Pepe viyuela con la flauta, jajaja

[@adamandeve2006]

preferred the Flook version...just sayin'..................

[@davidsantamaria8339]

Creo que debia de ser "Night Ride", no "Nigth Ride", I think that should be not

[@Heath75032]

Where is the bass player?

[@ActosManagement]

The guitarist has an octaver that makes the bass

[@auntiemojo]

Brilliant!

[@sazanka]

Awesome!!
