I would sincerely appreciate these great frequency magicians play at my funeral when we take the Traitors down. I will lead and show example.

[@jameshenrymurphy]

Something new, something good,I really enjoyed this.

[@eileennestor9274]

Lovely enjoyed it A Brother of mine Chris Nestor RIP played a bit of music he would play a couple of tunes on the Sax during the night..He was a flute player. This is excellent

[@gabrielkeown38]

[@paulroseblade]

Haven't been so impressed by a sax since the hearts .... Sir you are amazing

[@TwoHarps]

Fun. They are so good.

[@zoedaria]

Unbelievable!!!one of the best!!!

[@Hjaltland2]

Enjoyed this combination, the Sax used to be not uncommon with scottish dance bands (when I was a kid... that's a little while ago)

[@johnquinn6351]

Sax guy looks like jack Giddons knew him well in Queens NYC. Played in the Shamrock bar Jackson heights John the pipe Mckeown owened the pub

[@OShaughnessyC]

Beautiful playing. And what a delight to hear a trad saxophone. Wondered why the audience were behind instead of in front of the musicians...

[@guildenford]

It's half way between being a "performance" and a pub session where the musicians are mainly playing for themselves. So it's actually a performance, but in session style

[@PlanetImo]

Cor, I wasn't expecting a sax - but what a lovely player! :¬) xxx

[@talex7473]

This is just crazy....I'm sure it's how people felt about bouzoukis and what not before they were mainstream I"T"M instruments. This was great!

[@rhapsag]

+T Alex The sax predates the bouzouki in Irish trad by many decades.

[@johnmc3862]

@@rhapsag Is the sax really in Irish music though, only a handful of people it.

[@jtls8]

Excellent!!!!

[@alexmorris452]

Brilliant

[@SaiPavel]

O_o that was... unexpectedly incredible! =)

[@gaffneynouveau]

Fantastic playing! Is there any more footage of this set you could upload? Thanks for sharing

[@simonboddy7415]

Any one know when this was recorded? Jim Murray hasn't been that good lookin since about 1998 ? Brilliant altogether.

[@Orkide8]

SO GOOD, INDEED, THUMBS UP

[@mactcampbell]

Interesting. I sat in on session that included a sax player and his sax was an Ee sax. Yikes. I learned Far Away From Home as a real in G major.

[@galwayvintagecollection3401]

Operation Shamrock ☘ 2024 in 2012. Thanks Purebloods.

[@peterwhite7428]

African American musicians played sax with fiddles at the beginning of the 20th century and trumpets too

[@johnnym19591]

A discussion of this vid on a trad music forum I lurk on reckoned that the sax can potentially drown out the other instruments, but coupling it with a banjo works. If you look hard elsewhere on youtube you will find Seamus O'Donnell's uncle, Tony Howley also playing sax, accompanied by Tom Cussen on banjo, and a piano thrown in too.

[@oldflute]

Great playing on C melody sax (I'm pretty sure). The great flute player and composer, Josie McDermott, was also supposed to have played sax back in mid-century.

[@skyriderize]

Wow awesome 10 with a plus & nothing Lus

[@chansherly212]

saxx? now i've seen everything :)

[@Melvorgazh]

Iontach!

[@johnquinn6351]

The sax man looks like jack gibbons I knew very well in New York played in shamrockhouse in queens Ny. Rip

[@johnquinn6351]

The trombone m. Like jack gibbons. I new well in nyork early sixties?

[@clarebannerman]

@theblackwatersession Try "the session.org" They may be able to help you.

[@johnquinn6351]

I mean jack gibbons nephew. Just a guess

[@cvp1969]

With the sax, there really needs a ceili drummer...

[@seannamadra5675]

Don't rave about the sax Trade. Playing ,Tony Howley of Sligo was doing it better and long before these lads in Manchester in Boatman's Home every Sunday!lol!

[@SuperPaulrose]

yes doesnt it sound great, pitty there isnt many great players of the sax left here in ireland
