Afro Celt Sound System - Whirl-Y-Reel 1 - Barbican, London - October 2016

Travelled to Millstreet in Cork to see them live in the late 90's. Spectacular gig.

[@quarteracreadventures855]

This eargasmic song helped me climb a mountain. Its unique and compelling rhythms propelled me onwards and upwards, and suddenly, I found myself at one with the universe: It felt as though each rock and foothold had been placed specifically for my feet, and my feet alone; and with each beat, the planet rose to meet me in what seemed like an ancient dance that was as complicated as it was effortless. And while my feet remained earthbound by the song’s captivating rhythm, the haunting melody set my mind free and allowed it to roam; unfettered by earthly constraints, to explore a secret world beyond the path. As my awareness wandered, I thought not of the future, nor the past; instead, I communed with the cosmos in a near-magical immediacy where everything was just as it should be.

Coole Nummer

[@joedillon6814]

the sudden adverts in the middle of a song are DISGUSTING

[@gigskrislw7745]

They’re not there by my choice... shame on KZbin if they’re doing that. I don’t make money from videos I post... nor should anyone else but the artist.

@@johnbarleycorn3 Simon, if you’re not happy with any of my videos, let me know and I’ll remove them. That night at the Barbican was truly special. I first saw the band when I was in the audience at Later with Jools in the 90s. Been lucky enough to see the band several times since.
