Pure gold. Denis was the greatest accompanist I’ve ever heard.

Sublime. I think this is one of their best recordings. Saw them preforming live around Australian festivals at this time. We were really honoured...🙏🎶🎻

RIP Dennis. Sad news today. Great player.

[@Retriever-nk8nl]

Oh no ...

[@lenethharris-johnson8238]

Ditto. I had no idea. Condolences to his family and all his fans.

Denis just adds to the magic!!...he knew when to hold back ...less is more!! Rest with the angels!!

[@erikm8372]

That’s the Clare style in a nutshell; or as my friend and I used to say, for Clare or Galway style playing, it’s all about the “Three R’s” - Repetition, Restraint, and Rock… as in, rocking out with restraint! feeling it out, and knowing “when” to let loose, is especially important in these more subtle “styles” or interpretations. But I suppose the Three Rs really apply to any folk musician from any tradition in the world…

Just wonderful meeting of the minds. Mesmerizing.

[@micahlanboney7830]

Wow, this is perfection.

[@deafdave6468]

Such talent, the first I heard of them back in the day, sad that Dennis has past away but grateful that his music recordings remain. There'll be less of a gloam these days.

Hauntingly beautiful!

Saw Midnight Court play St. Patrick’s weekend just outside Chicago in the early 2000s I think, can’t really be sure you see I drank quite a bit of Guinness Stout that night. Martin was on fire! His hair was perfect!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@garyamartin]

Gorgeous, of course, but the tune titles are wrong. The first tune is Rolling in the Barrel and the second is The Morning Dew.

[@johnnielson7676]

I strongly agree with both your assessment of the performance and and the tune titles

[@CRsVideoVaults]

Updated. Cheers.
