Danu-Are you ready yet?

Danu-Live

[@hellinahandbasket2]

As a person who plays both the Irish bouzouki and the bodhran I can say that this is just another example of how wonderfully talented these people are. The bodhran player's contribution is perfect and if it looks like he's working up a sweat well, it's because the music is moving him and he's having a good time playing it. I often feel that way when I'm playing and if it shows, so much the better.

[@breizhlander1]

voila de la musique !!! ca fait des frissons dans le dos tellement c'est bon!! 10********

[@fenrirsreign]

Love this song.

[@brianrichardson2660]

Buddy Guy, mighty bluesman, was watching Danu play from backstage at the Winnipeg Folk Festival when I was host. Donncadh had finished the first set of reels playing on Uilleann pipes and switched to bodhrán for the next set. As that set ended Buddy turned to me and said “If I had that guy I could replace my whole rhythm section.” Truly, Donncadh transcends genres.

[@noodledoodle]

i saw danu about 7 or 8 years ago in canada and they were great. put on a really fun show.

[@MrStrigori]

oh my god...this fluteplay is fucking amazing!! I mean they all are great...but that flute...just haunting

[@mikesrandomchannel]

It's like a how-to of Irish flute grace notes. It's just breaktaking.

[@nuadaphortlairge3630]

Absolutely top class !!! no words describe The sound of the bodhran !!!!! Amzing

[@jungoogie]

All I can say is....where's the pub and the dance floor. These lads got it!

[@padders67]

going to cambridge folk festival tomorrow and these lads are playing - they could blow the roof off the place going by this video

[@onearmfrog]

I love these small little gestures Irish musicians do on stage to let their fellow players know they're going to speed things up or change to another tune :)

[@galwaytribesman9289]

I don't know a lot about flute playing as I'm not a flute player but Tom Doorley is about the best I've seen

[@northertnivorycoast1]

wait, Iam not yet ready to dance. I was prepared to hear Irish enchanting music. Very nice song

[@DefCur]

how can this audience sit so still??? omg this was awesome

[@Zabai]

I saw Danu at Sidmouth a few years ago and it still fills me with such joy. They are an incredible band

[@muistijaljet]

I saw them in Finland may years ago and loved them to bits. If I ever have a chance to meet and hear them again I would be so happy! This song and the flute is just so wonderful it weakens your knees.

[@cheerydavie]

A "NEW" band to me.....thanks Ray for sharing

[@didierlegros416]

MAJESTUEUX .....GRANDIOSE .......UN VRAIS PLAISIR , ET C'EST TRES PEUT DIRE.......

[@comeregeway9072]

Tom Doorley is an absolute master of the flute.

[@Anraziel]

At the exception of the Chieftains, i've never heard any band that has a crisp irish flute sound like this...and I mean wtf...how can he still be standing after expending so much air?? This song is plain awesome. I love these guys.

[@elysianintricacy]

Wow! That's so beautiful, that flute sounds so full and the players great. I saw these guys playing in a house party on the seafront in Aberystwyth after a show; they were completely pissed but it was amazing, where my love for the accordian began : )

[@Conicalnewt]

love this

[@pioryan5691]

Unreal

[@emmpps16]

[@odubbs18]

[@tinaloflin1174]

Wish I could go to such a concert. Sighhh.

[@hollymcintyre9564]

It's St.Paddy's day, not st. patty's day. A lot of people get this wrong, I don't know why.

[@dan33kins]

i love danu

[@Conzerceol]

Pure genius's and lads (no5eyparker) get a life....this is musical fusion at its best..never seen you travel da world,play the instruments with such skill and with such heart.....take a look my friend and LISTEN!!!!!! youse are deadly DANÚ!!! INSPIRATIONAL!!!!

[@jwilliam2255]

@felipebonniwell Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh has been Danu's lead singer since about 2003. She is the best female singer I've ever heard. she plays flute (and whistle) as well as she sings.

[@tomdfluter]

Thanks for all the comments, from Tom D. Danu.

[@thomdrum]

Smokin!

[@mickeyfrets]

@asmith8797 the Bouzouki is a Greek instrument but widely used in Irish trad

[@JKarateR]

If this music doesn't move you in some way, you lack a pulse.

[@sebashess4768]

OH, GB WAS PART OFF AN ISLAND, DONOVAN SINGS ABOUT+ BEFORE ROME, ALL ROADS LEAD 2,....OH YES WE SCAN, I DUNNO SOMEONE WITH A SPEAKING-PROBLEM, KENNETH, TRIED 2 SAY MELISSA, I GUESS....d : . I ...

[@stilmckechnie]

álainn :)

[@Anraziel]

I personnaly ain't much more then an amateur player...I just try a lot of instruments...i'm no virtuoso on any of em but playing is what I enjoy and these guys just give reason more to keep n playing.

[@NoKDa]

@asmith8797 i ment the one on his left :D anyways , yes, thats an Irish Bouzuki xD

[@mm4ng]

well, he's a good dancer.

[@kalacs32]

@myboystoys The step-dancer....lol

[@CraigStuntz]

No, it's not a baroque flute. Baroque flutes had only an Eb key, and Tom's flute has a least a long after key and a few others (hard to see). As the flute does not appear to have a C foot, and does not appear to be fully keyed (again, hard to see), which would make it chromatic, I would peg this flute as one of the contemporary descendents of the 19th century flutes which are sometimes called "Irish flutes".

[@mhicnanolc]

Feckin right! Suas e!

[@bajuszmaster]

The 3 people who dislikes this are deaf.

[@philipegan1806]

🐥a ver qué pasa 🙅

[@sebashess4768]

[@ivyssauro123]

8 dislikes? nice try bieber fans....

[@mebkennedy]

hoping to see these brilliant musicians on st. patty's day in connecticut. also hoping to let the band know that they have the wrong "muireann" singing with them. they were supposed to get me. she's actually done a fine job in my place so, i'll make sure to let her down easily when we (meaning the boys and me) tell her she's been replaced. ha!!! ;-)

[@mm4ng]

who's gonna play the bass?

[@DEKIID2K10]

@bajuszmaster or foreign

[@andyz3225]

Anybody else here because of Eluveitie?

[@Piisuke]

It just takes you back to medieval times, doesn't it?

[@myboystoys]

wtf? who is the guy whos just randomly up there at 3:00 ?

@bajuszmaster 8 ppl lol

[@balddonaldcerrone7930]

Name of tunes?

[@breizhmabro8347]

[@ernestozucco]

Come si fa a far star ferme le gambe, sono seduto ma le gambe "battono" sul pavimento

[@xobrasxx]

is that a wooden flute?

[@CraigStuntz]

That should read "long F key," not "long after key."

[@mm4ng]

was this the night terry got his divorce proper? omg! at 2:53 he starts dancing like it was the show.

[@stilmckechnie]

This is nothing to do with vikings my friend, it's an Irish folk song, not Nordic :)

[@links3033]

wow you did it? but are you done. this was all for fun of course right? didn't have a meaning... but did it dont over think it, its right in front of your face

[@g0dfart3r]

I think they are quadriplegic.

[@ilovezcheeze]

the guy playing the bodhran is at the wrong gig

[@joelmendis8287]

thumbs up if you love vikings !!

[@no5eyparker]

T'would be hard not to do better. What a bunch of disjointed crap thse wallies play! They sound worse than iPaddy Moloney, The Comisar Of Oirish Musak, inspired Poms on bad beer. 'Haven't a clue' would be praise for such rubbish!

[@no5eyparker]

Utter crap! They have everything except the music. What about slowing down so you at least find the road others took so much care over maki
