Sharon Shannon has this wonderful way of driving the rhythm wherever she goes. You can almost hear that beautiful grin of hers.

[@psylurian]

It's lovely to see her smile in every session she plays.

[@robinmatyjasek7390]

Of all the many versions, this is probably the finest, and of course, given the musicians, it couldn't be anyhting else...

[@johno9754]

Great tune, greater musicians!

[@slb22000]

I want this music and these musicians to play into eternity. They make heavenly music.

[@hebburnbilly]

This must be among one of the best tunes in the series,real foot tappin music,Cheers Tom

[@ebennett7]

tom Scotland - a long time ago I stumbled upon your videos and a life-long obsession began. Last night Transatlantic Sessions came to New York for the first time. I lived my dream being there. it was as spectacular as you'd think. thank you for being the catalyst with your sharing. life changing! life improvement!

[@tomtscotland]

Thanks for your comment. I too have seen the Transatlantic Sessions - these sessions are held every year as part of a Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow, Scotland. It's a great mix of Scottish, Irish and American folk music. Long may they continue!

[@dulcimer45]

lovely Celtic lilt to a great american old time tune! A little less synchopated a little more Irish. Gorgeous.

[@josephonwhidbey]

Much of American music comes out of this tradition. Folk, Country Western, Bluegrass, Gospel Music etc.

[@deewheeler8841]

One of my favorites

[@glennferrell2902]

Russ Barenburg on guitar -- this tune is so much fun! Also called "Ruby with the Eyes that Sparkle" in Cold Mountain. Guess they figured the Pig's Foot name wasn't commercial enough :)

[@peterhaller8976]

This is, without question, my all time favorite Irish trad tune. I play along to this video so much - I have to do it when my family is not around. I love it; them, not so much.

It's fun to play along. Thank you for posting!

[@Otaku155]

Played this song with Frog Bridge in upstate NY, loved it.

[@mandobuilder]

Great fiddling and a great tune

[@Beaney1234]

Kicks in the endorphins. Great stuff guys.

[@crlchs]

Aly Bain on second fiddle - famous in his own right. Love them both.

[@jeffsiegel3378]

What a great video of amazing musicians! Thanks😀

[@yvonnemurray]

Superb TomT, thanks for posting al these excellent videos!

[@olddevilsbox]

Great tune and well done!

[@imb4u8]

Oh my goodness this is SO fun to play along with. Just me and Michael McGoldrick on our flutes. :o) Thanks for posting this. I love it!

[@markhawkins2612]

Great tune;)

[@Glyphone]

Wonderful video. I'm still grinning, wanting to get on my clogging shoes.

[@SatyrosJayIronHorse]

I think I saw Putin in there too. Sounds like they're all getting along and the music is just majestic.

[@tomtscotland]

I'm not responsible for titling at start of video. Full credits are given if you click "more".

[@carrtje01]

wonderful. I love real music played by real people. I'm certain that if I were sitting in this room it would sound even better; not completely different live like the technologic music created mostly today.

[@Gamberist]

Like it very much

[@mapron21]

Great tune. Ali Bain on fiddle.

[@wesleurs]

Check Mark Knopfler's Oklahoma Ponies. He used this meldoy but wrote lyrics to it. It's great

[@Tadhg64]

Shove the pig's foot a little further inTOOOO the fire! Everyone now!

[@Poodlepups]

I always thought this sounded like a singable tune! Especially the B part "chorus"

[@tomtscotland]

The title soundtrack from Transatlantic Sessions 3 - "Shove the Pigs' Foot a Little Further Into The Fire"

[@1xstew]

Great tune . . but whats best about it is it's played at a steady pace. A lot of old time tunes (in my humble opinion),are played too quickly.

[@nikitas85]

Heaven bless the Transatlantic Sessions :D

[@aliwhitwell]

Ally Bain fiddle with Bruce Molsky

[@deanniasiegmund3636]

Great, where can i get the music to learn

[@sinjin480]

Phil's actually playing a Cittern, very similar to and Irish Bouzouki, but not quite.

[@BoAhlbertz-Artache]

@tomtscotland Of corse you aren not responsible :) Otherwise also Jerry Douglas and Bruce Molsky should have been there as well Anyway thanks a lot for sharing :)

[@Linedanger]

Excellent. Just pick up your instrument and play along. Feels great. Everyone should learn to play this. At this speed. Music doesn't have to be complex to feel good.

[@jn45672]

Which seesion is this on DVD

[@barimando]

How is this selling out?

[@wrongwayup.]

Is this from Transatlantic Sessions or something?

[@Canoe571]

Sorta gives a feller happy feet, doesn't it?

[@SatyrosJayIronHorse]

Hey is that Brian Cox in there somewhere?

[@Lanestunes123]

Bruce ends on and up bow and Michael on a down. Humm. I think I will copy Bruce.

[@AndrewZinn]

eh. its played pretty much about the right speed. think saying the phrase "shove that pig's foot further in the bed"... that's about the speed you should be playing this one... at least that's where I've heard it played... if anything this may be a touch slow

[@1xstew]

Not worth arguing about 3 or 4 beats/minute either way . .
