[@Scotsovertheborder]

I didn't know this video was here - brilliant, these guys are unbelievably good. It just so happens that I was listening to the Crossroads album this morning when I was walking the dog

[@WhiteTiger333]

[@traceypowell9802]

Thanks for posting, is awesome

[@UISTMAN59]

Great music. ***** :-)

[@PRAK14PRAKASH]

@WhiteTiger333 -- I am sure it is the guitar sound from Samie, giving it that bass feel. Love the way Mairtin holds back and then enters to a stunning climax. Lovely people too. I have learnt that film things, it may be hard to do, but the results and preservation of history, just magnificent.. One of my favourite efforts.

Love Cathyls playing, the low note is definitely from the guitar!

[@ThomasInLondon]

I just discovered this guy by accident on spotty, now here to find videos of this man, who playing calls to me and moves me.

@WhiteTiger333 - Received the following comment :Those low notes are from the G string on Cathal's banjo. The man is a genius on both Fiddle and banjo. regards Bill

[@MrLuridan]

Savage!

[@deslm]

basil182, I believe the last tune is called 'Esther's Reel'

[@PRAK14PRAKASH]

I am not an expert on the subject, but will try and find the answer. DJFozter, nice playing by you, will look at some more of yours later.Thanks.

[@WhiteTiger333]

Wow! TIny word for some massive excellence. :) One thing I couldn't work out was where the deep bass was coming from, along with a bit of a beat. Sounded like a bass fiddle, but obviously not if just those three guys were playing. The bottom string of the banjo itself? Too deep and too much *thunk* to be the guitar, I'm thinking. Wonderful effect, whatever.

[@chabrown72]
