I'm in love with the fiddle player. He just can't stop boppin' and smilin'

[@vincentpoignonec8709]

His name is René Werneer. A genius

[@nbenefiel]

I had such a crush on him when I first went to Ireland.

[@JustFiddler]

he made my day😊

[@jean-pierrejipi5720]

It's René Werneer . 39 years later, or 40 years later (Olympia 1972 ) the two musicians meet again at the Olympia 2012 kzbin.info/www/bejne/apenc6V-l9GMoK8

Discovered Al'Olympia as a kid in my parents record collection, saw him play in a small hotel in Dublin 1994 it was mesmerizing.

[@nbenefiel]

I had such a crush on Rene Werner back when I was 19 and had just discovered Celtic music

[@olivierlliboutry]

I can understand why...😅

[@bigornek]

Pffff ce bel homme! :)

[@philippenicolas9777]

I was also 19 when I discovered them in Bobino. I just wanted to play my music. I could speak and sing the same langage. My grand Mother learnt french at sçhool when she was 7. My grand father could speak these 2 languages. His father was a teacher. My daddy could speak also our 2 languages. For me it was harder, they spoke only in my family and during the holidays.

Absolument magique

[@ciebeline]

Très joli sourire René ...

[@Ukepa]

really good rock version of this Celtic classic!!!

[@fastidioussloth6013]

Irish traditional. Love this, despite suspicious 1973 wirelessness. Dichotomy between musicians' and audience's hairstyles also noted.

[@Mick_Holland]

That must have sounded very odd to the live audience unless the backing track overwhelmed the sound coming from the instruments which were, it appears, being played.

[@jolysable9335]

musicians free!!!

[@daniel72362]

In perception and expression, a genuinely wonderful remark. Love it, amiable. Keep it up!

[@fastidioussloth6013]

It's perfectly synchronised, even the guitarist Dan Ar Braz's vibrato, but I can't see any mics.

[@ArielVisionary]

Lively and happy music.

[@shaighan1]

outstanding!!

[@bigornek]

Le premier air dont j'ai le souvenir, encore nourrisson!

Bhí leagan Horslips i bhfad níos fearr.... ☘☘☘👍👍... Bhí sé seo maith go leor fós ná cuir mícheart orm...

[@nbenefiel]

I love Horslips, specially their Christmas record.

[@nbenefiel]

I love both versions. They are very different.

[@MrsOliva]

Bass make this melody good.

[@janettedavis6627]

I love King of the Fairies the dance is light and beautiful but this was much to fast.

[@gerrybolger7621]

totally agree!

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

Too fast for what? "King of the fairies", under different names such as "Britons glory" or "King William of Orange", did not originate in Ireland, and is not universally played as an Irish set dance tune. It's a hornpipe that is played in many different ways. It gets off to a shaky start here I think, but the whistle player seems to pull it into shape. Personally, I'd dot and swing the tune a bit more, but what is here is a perfectly legitimate way of playing a hornpipe.

[@Genfersee]

In fact this is not live.. they are performing playback on the studio version from 1971.

[@hinokikuaimu]

This is live!

[@Genfersee]

hinokikuaimu Then this is the video of the studio recording? Strange.

[@ciebeline]

Étrange de dire que c'est du play back ... Je pense à l'accélération du tempo qui semble contredire cette information ...

[@Genfersee]

Oui, je ne sais pas trop quoi penser: la version du 45 tour est strictement identique à cette version sur la vidéo...

[@jean-louissella1315]

Genfersee tout à fait exact c'est un play back face b du 45 tours "tri martolod" de 1971

play back?

[@LieuNoir]

yes (the electric guitar is unplugged...)

[@toutainchristophe4348]

Irish music, nothing to do with Breton traditionnal music.

[@taurotar]

Breton music and Irish music are indeed different but please try to understand that Alan Stivell plays music from all the Celtic nations. Also, there is an ancient connection in the medieval period, Irish harpers went to Wales and Cornwall to teach the harp in those places and the Breton people largely come from Wales and Cornwall. So while Gavotte and an Dro differ from jigs and reels, the music , as all music, has connection.

[@toutainchristophe4348]

@@taurotar Not more than other European traditional musics. Breton music is in many ways similar to Balkanic music as much as to Irish one. Even Berber music sounds similar to Breton music.

[@PaulZedd]

@@toutainchristophe4348 Breton people largely come from Wales and Cornwall. They don't come from the Balkans.

[@toutainchristophe4348]

@@PaulZedd It does not have anything to do with the music derived of the late medieval music at the crossing of different musical influences. Welsh traditional music and Cornwall traditional music have very little to do with traditional Breton music. Just listen to them.

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

@@toutainchristophe4348 Indeed, there is a lot of nonsense put out about the music of the so-called "Celtic nations."
