This performance reminds me that I'm alive, and there IS beauty in the world.

the guitar playing here is fucking class too lads. Great music all together.

[@thefireaflame]

I can't believe how long I've been listening to this guy, and yet he never ceases to amaze me.

[@alpenglowist]

Can't even count the number of times I've watched this...

[@Childofbamboo]

Same … at least 67 of the views are from me 😍

[@alpenglowist]

I’m back for more…

[@KennethDahlKnudsen]

This is one of the best things I've ever heard… in my life…. the vibe and soul of this is so amazing….

[@anthonycollins8510]

see him feathering the bottom hole of the whistle with his right pinkie?!! he's a true master

[@davidtucker1644]

That fill he does at 1:34 is crazy spot on.

[@monicamann4438]

Excellent stuff two pure class musicians, love them thank you, Dublin Deirdre xx

[@raebutler7742]

Have watched this over and over...

[@Argentum-futurum]

This is Real Music. So much talent and dedication. Many greetings from Germany.

[@PlaiulNou]

The Celtic song starting at 1:55 is SUPERB! BIG LIKE from Romania!

[@JosephChordmichael]

Ed plays in DADGAD tuning, so just tune down the E, b and e strings a step, and then capo 1 for Eb.

[@JosephChordmichael]

There is a CD recording of all the entire tutors concert, and of course, Brian's fabulous band KAN also recorded this set on their album, Sleeper. I would highly recommend it, it's a class album!

[@christianfonneland9339]

Great stuff! Do you know where to buy the recorded album?

[@ariellelionessofYah]

Where can you get the cd?!

[@marlesimms]

whooooa that first tune is amazing! You guys sound killer

[@ariellelionessofYah]

Ahhh this is so gorgeous!! I just got an Eb whistle too🥳

[@donnaf630]

at the very start after the man in the background walks past is that a rat walking behind him ? love this video btw

[@Kronsteiner]

looks more like a hedgehog to me :-)

[@rebeccashelley7848]

I love this slip jig 😊

[@abraxas123]

@kevinmeehan71 No, the second one. The set consists of Slide From Grace (written by John McSherry) / The Queen of Rangoon (written by Brian Finnegan)

[@JLeoFipple]

Beautiful set, fantastic whistle and guitar, thanks for sharing =D

[@JosephChordmichael]

Well, it's fairly straightforward, and the B-part has that nice walk-up from the G-A-Bm thing going. Wish we could play it at Swannanoa as well! Unfortunately, I won't actually be going either, as I've just moved back to Dallas for various reasons, and had to cut out a lot of things this year... I'm hoping to catch Lunasa in the states this Fall, though, or perhaps head out to the KVMR with some folks here.

[@foofy14]

Absolutely incredible

[@BlackFolkAndPiano]

the slip jig is wonderful

[@JosephChordmichael]

I have! Also, listened to KAN's version on their new album several times. I'd loaned it to Julian for awhile, so I'm sure he probably knows them too, ha! Would be awesome!

[@rafipeled1920]

Amazing set. Love to see that Brian, like me, does not like to change shirts too often. See his Bath performance ...

[@ilukyanov]

100 of those views are mine

[@rafipeled1920]

And now?

[@scatblues7184]

Crazy good.

[@JosephChordmichael]

@abraxas123 It does, I just couldn't remember what it was called, and hadn't recorded that part yet... I'll have to check my iPod.

[@tootineer1774]

Inspirational!

[@NayiCan]

Wonderful musician... well done.. perfect...

[@JosephChordmichael]

The Queen of Rangoon is the name

[@lukehebert6207]

The Queen of Rangoon is the name of the whole piece? Or maybe just the front or back end of it? Thanks!

[@balddonaldcerrone7930]

Joseph Carmichael darren?

[@asepyanakaryana8137]

I like this song..a like about irish culture..i am from indonesia

[@MrGerritsen112CODE3ResponsesNL]

It's amazing

[@Legertymusic]

Do you have Ed's chord progressions down? I know you could you can cover the guitar part if any one can! Wish we could play it at Swannanoa this year but I can't make it, sadly. Next time!

[@abraxas123]

Wow, great set! Love Brian's new tune. Does he have a title for it yet?

[@Legertymusic]

Gorgeous. Thanks for posting, Joseph! I think I have watched it a dozen times already. You and Me and Julian should learn these! Have you seen the full Finnegan Band arrangement of this set?

[@sirstu4782]

[@mariadocarmociribelli2729]

Lovely !!!!

[@tatianaraevsky1868]

Great music! Anyone know what that whistle is? It looks a little like a Shaw?

[@JosephChordmichael]

Tatiana Raevsky Colin Goldie

[@tatianaraevsky1868]

Thanks!

[@sofiacummings5574]

Yeah, thought it looked like a Goldie

[@martinlaird4738]

A Goldie! Sounds and costs 10x a shaw 😂

[@vicenteperez4852]

Still strong 💪.

Hedgehog! 16° I mean seconds.

[@bbvibrabb]

Top shit

[@kevinmeehan71]

@abraxas123 is that the first one?

[@sofiacummings5574]

What key is his whistle in?

[@mike76543210]

Eflat

[@jhnrnj7]

What kind of tin whistle did he used?

[@Trunchisholm]

Brian plays Goldie whistles. This one's in Eb.

[@simonhilairedbl5572]

welcome to my kingdom !

[@Melvorgazh]

Ed Boyd it is. Why Ed Burwell?

[@JosephChordmichael]

@Melvorgazh: The Burwell Bash is where this video was taken. This is, of course Ed Boyd.

[@Melvorgazh]

Ok, did not know that place. Where is it? Sláinte!

[@JosephChordmichael]

@DazIOM1140 Nah, it's an Eb.

[@DazIOM1140]

Is it a 'D" whistle he is playing?

[@lukehebert6207]

I started dictating this piece so I could attempt it on my whistle, and it seems to be in the key of E-flat rather than D.

[@GregEire28]

Is this a C whistle??

[@JosephChordmichael]

Eb

[@GregEire28]

@@saoirsecameron I thought it sounded wonderful! But you can always transpose to D, if you need to.

[@soslothful]

The microphone stand obstructing Brian is very annoying.

[@leecooper7084]

Yeah! ....and that bush in the background is SO frustrating.

[@laurentklemenci3277]

Too hight sound ! Insupportable. I can't heard this a long time or i will be deaf

[@lukehebert6207]

I wouldn't suggest listening to much soprano whistle music if you are concerned with high pitch notes. Try the low-octave whistles if you like the timbre or style of music

[@Trunchisholm]

Holy hyperbole! The sound is not particularly shrill. Yes, it's high, but also very pure. In any case, there's plenty of tunes Brian plays on low F and D whistles.
