Cillian Doheny; All Ireland Champion

[@broxmouth]

Cillian - you will bring JOY to thousands for the rest of your days. Live long and prosper.

[@Nevada_Dan]

That audible 'thunk' you might've heard was the sound of my jaw hitting the floor. All due respect and admiration to Banjo Master Doheny.

[@daveburklund2295]

Love the tones young Cillian is getting.

[@mtb71]

Magic - thx 4 sharing

[@Mggcarty]

First Tune is Seanamhac Tube Station, comp. John Carty.

[@seamohill]

last tune unreal good a playing as i've heard.keep 'er lit

[@23m232]

great stuff,

[@paudiebanjos]

1st jig is "Seanamach Tubestation" written by John Carthy - great version on Cathal Hayden's solo album Not sure of the 2nd 3rd is "Feed the Ducks" written by Cork banjo player Kieran Leahy - on Liz Doherty's album Last Orders

[@blitsriderfield4099]

I keep asking people to identify the instrument by sound. no one has gotten it yet. It's amazing what the style of music will do to the sound of the instrument.

[@johnnyjackpot]

Excellent!

[@vifokvifok]

Tenor banjo and Mandolin tuning are the same in Irish music though some like to tune up their G string to A. here hes just tuned all the strings a semitone sharper...

[@brendanmcgowan8136]

Josh, the first tune is Seanamhac Tube Station (by John Carty, but also listen to Cathal Hayden's version)

[@leprechaun9150]

Unreal stuff

[@Mandolin1944]

Outstanding & Breathtaking! Triplets on top or triplets!

[@gxtmfa]

I love the way he rakes the pick across the strings!

[@annamkav1]

whats the 1st tune called?

[@johnc6311]

County Limericks finest! 🪕

[@iRonbOy3We]

What's the tune from 3:10 onwards

[@nstenson]

Have you got your banjo tuned CDGA for this set?

[@broxmouth]

Cillian, could you please tell me what tuning you are using here? I have just got a tenor banjo and tuned it to mandolin tuning but your tenor sounds like it is higher in tone. Are you using Tenor banjo tuning or mandolin tuning? Thanks in advance.

[@dermybanjo]

@@RyanSavage_Banjo He's tuned up about a semitone - and the low string is tuned up to A. So essentially Bb-Eb-Bb-F

[@bohemian46]

Is the last tune a variation of Moving Clouds ?? Nice playing.

[@cathanmccann1769]

Unreal 😎

[@jamescase1573]

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

How long has the tenor banjo been incorporated into Irish music?

[@Umiale]

I think you can thank (or blame) Barney McKenna from the Dubliners in the 60s for intruducing it to Irish music

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

@@Umiale that's when the bouzouki became part of Irish music too.

[@ricemango7502]

It was popularised in the 60s but it's been used in Irish sessions since the 20s

[@JohnKiernan-f8s]

I can guarantee u cillian didn’t play like this a few years ago, too busy lad, go back to when u played it sweet please, blunders everywhere lad, too much going on, 😔♥️👍☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@andys722]

i think he plays too fast but with no feeling; great player, but needs to play from the heart; just trying to go at wharp speed - listen to Gerry O'Connor or Sully

[@DarkAngelEU]

I dunno bout you but this gets my feet stompin, the second song made me wish I was at a carnival/festival just so I could learn how to dance to it. He can play very good for a minor imo

[@dessiekelliher7425]

when you have an all ireland medal then u can talk,, Cillian is a gent of a lad who wouldn't stoop so low as to slander another player, i thought music was all about enjoyment?? obviously not!? haters gonna hate ,

[@NolteChristoph]

Sorry Andrew S, but what you are saying is complete and utter rubbish. The guy's a master and that's that!

[@mikekeyes6102]

That's an unfair comment - he's only a youngster, and absolutely brilliant - my instinct goes with Dessie Kelliher's comment.

crap tone on that banjo

[@banjoman1565]

Most outrageous statement on this video. Would love to know what brands you think have a nice tone

[@AMindInOverdrive]

Great playing; I don't really like the tune though

[@JohnKiernan-f8s]

Ye very capable cillian is , but way overplayed ,,too much ornamentations, it’s falling to pieces, like we hear all these banjo players playing mad fast,, even comes across too rushed , and loads of blunders in there too, , anyway, that’s what I feel about it, we all defer to what’s sweet to our ears, but it’s not for me, ,,😔

[@ciaransheridan9926]

keep that poxy f**kin negativity down yer jocks, don’t be spunking on us casual youtube comments ‘a passers-by please :)

[@aaronkenny6483]

Irish banjo is the worst. A banjo has 5 strings. You wouldn't call an ukulele a Hawaiian guitar, would you?

[@thewren01]

That's why it's called tenor banjo dumbo

[@aaronkenny6483]

thewren01 Doesn't make it a banjo, anymore than an ukulele is a guitar. Do you understand logic?

[@thewren01]

It's a banjo full stop. Unless they change the name to something else I will call it a banjo. Best of luck to you tryin to change it. I will be keepin eye out on your progress. And no I don't understand logic

[@aaronkenny6483]

thewren01 enjoy being a moron :)

[@thewren01]

No. I will enjoy my BANJO
