I love this tune and what a gorgeous interpretation, the fluidity and subtle rhythm flexing throughout is a delight. Thanks to the Great Carolan & Dave Hill’s playing for bringing it so vibrantly to life. One love.

No recording equipment when this piece was first performed. Music to last the ages

Das Lied ist einfach nur sehr schön das ist mein Lieblings Musik toll

[@laviniaburke3160]

Go hálainn ar fad! I got goosebumps whilst listening to your version of this!

[@seancoleman9625]

What a fine piece of music! Turlough O'Carolan was such a brilliant composer of these early Irish tunes. It has been a pleasure listening to your playing, Dave. Keep the tradition going as harp music is ethereal and heavenly.

[@johnhill3616]

His name is just Carolan not O'Carolan

Шикарная композиция, среди множества не менее великолепных произведений этого композитора.

Carolan - brilliant.

Top notch, Dave Hill of Yorkshire.

A comment on Reddit suggested that this piece inspired the Star Wars AOTC version of the Imperial March and the Game of Thrones theme

[@dariusduesentrieb]

You mean "When you realize Game of Thrones ripped its theme from Attack of the Clones." on r/PrequelMemes?

This is such a lovely version of this tune, thank you.

[@eileenaroon4293]

Did this Dave Hill record other pieces? I see the cover of a cassette with a harp and his name at the beginning of this video? Could you share more from him?

[@lindamon8]

I'm not aware of any other recordings by Dave, other than what's on this (and another) cassette. I saw him play at Beverley Folk Club a couple of times. I went to his house where he kindly gave me a copy of another cassette he did on the life and music of Turlough O'Carolan. I'll see if I can find it.

[@eileenaroon4293]

@@lindamon8His playing sounds amazing! Do you know of any way to get in touch with him? I’d love to purchase a copy of his cassettes. If not, would you mind uploading what you have to KZbin? This is some of the best harp music I’ve heard

[@lindamon8]

Dave is a very talented man, but I've completely lost touch. If I find him, I'll let you know. I'll upload the full cassette when I find time. Thanks so much for your comments.@@eileenaroon4293

[@lindamon8]

Hi Eileen, I'm at last getting around to uploading more Dave Hill recordings. You should find what I've done so far by searching The Solo Sessions. Dave Hill.@@eileenaroon4293

[@chrisparrott7412]

You can't call him O' Carolan - It's either Turlough O'Carolan or just plain Carolan

[@mikmcd2075]

why ? his surname is O' Carolan
