Performance, Boys of Blue Hill etc

[@mgwhitehead]

Nice job kids! And I appreciate the solid, relaxed tempo. Most folks who post hornpipes on KZbin play them way too fast!

Beautiful playing and the pace of those hornpipes is perfect. Some well known cèili bands could learn a lesson from you ladies. Bravo.

[@moisturebunny]

I love this stuff. I am listening to it while watching the NewYorkRangers - OttawaSenators hockey game. A Canuk with Irish background am I.

[@Cherrycreamsoda1]

This is amazing! Well done

[@fanwick]

Well done! Thumbs up! ;-)) We use to play only Harvest Home as second part. Now I'm going to learn The Greencastle Hornpipe. :-) Did you ever try Susan Cooper? Sounds a little like the Bluehill Boys.

[@TheWhistler]

Such fantastic rhythm, well done all!

[@womblemartin]

Thank YOU very much is what I say, really excellent, like the "innovation" near the end and the way you laugh it off, you've definitely got the spirit of these tunes, I'm gonna use your rendition to learn them meself.

[@centman1000]

Excellent, really enjoyed that, will inspire me to keep practicing.

[@sabineskay70]

Love you guys!!! Xxxxx

[@jimmymahone5420]

A delightful medley, full of energy and infectious good cheer! Ah, but only if the artists who starred in this recording would name all four tunes in their medley, and perhaps give their names (or at least where you're from, if you're the shy type). It would be great to hear what they're playing now, almost four years after this posting ...

[@roalik4270]

I don't care from which island these came, they were excellent renditions.

[@HarrySmith-hr2iv]

The Boys from Blue Hill originates in Cork South West Ireland and is a harvesting Song.

[@tommymacdonald]

[@fireflyxl5]

Great!

[@mwpotter46]

Go guys.

[@The262236491]

Well Done!

[@Callulaful]

Is it? I wasn't aware, don't remember categorising it haha! I'd put it in the "just-a-bit-of-fun" category.

[@antonyglynn4217]

Lovely! The second one is the Greencastle isn't it? and then Harvest Home?

[@Callulaful]

We're living in different cities now so we don't play as much together unfortunately!!! Definitely still playing though! Thanks for your comments!

[@cherylswaan977]

[@kaiben100]

golan1289さんと同感です、　大好き！ 命短し恋せよ乙女、　

[@crawfordviolin]

who would put this in the "authentic" catagory?

[@krakatoa1200]

Nicely played by the youngsters, but I'm pretty sure it was from the Cheviot Hills in Northumberland

[@JimBell1984]

Not actually and Irish tune, it's Northumbrian

[@eldendir]

Hi. Lovely as that was played, Boys of Blue Hill and Harvest Home are not Irish tunes. I can't speak of Greencastle as I know nothing of it. The other two are Northhumbrian.

[@mgkeoh]

*****, Hi. I,m not sure about the origins of Boys of Bluehill, or Greencastle. But the last one Harvest Home, was written by Harry Coleman, sometimes known as the Cork Hornpipe. I play banjo with his two grandsons and nice sometimes in London all the time. Regards Michael Keohane

[@womblemartin]

Yea you tell em Pat! Cause these talented youngsters sound Irish to me so if what they're doin is music then that must be Irish music must'nt it, stands t'reason. Good on ya mate.

[@womblemartin]

Ye can'aye ev'n spell Northumbria ya ijit.

[@dukadarodear2176]

I agree and I'm Irish. The north east of England is Hornpipe country - must be the navy influence. Another very popular English hornpipe in Ireland is 'The High Level' composed by a guy named Hill from Newcastle to commemorate the opening of the High Level bridge nearby. Irish musicians have kept the tunes alive though.

[@cleanupcowboy5841]

Always difficult to supply histories of musical pieces? Why are they Northhumbrian? I once heard a Peruvian harper playing a tune from the isles. He didn't claim ownership or origin. He just played it because he enjoyed the tune? There were many tunes that made it across the Atlantic and back. I'm sure that if you ask any American about the origin of the tune "star spangled banner" they would certainly say that it is an American tune. (it's not)

[@HueyMaxSucks]

Lovely choice of chords on the guitar on all tunes!
