Altan-the sunset

[@TxRedRoseyLady]

I had the wonderful privledge of seeing and meeting Altan. My family had a wonderful time and I love to experience their music over and over. I hope they can come back to Texas again.

[@Buckeye67]

Thanks for posting these Altan videos. Especially this one. We miss you, Frankie.

[@Adanon]

This is truly one of the most beautiful tunes I've ever heard.

[@AndieArbeit]

I think the same

[@BruceLevitan]

I love the way the music builds. Altan are a brilliant band who deserve wider appreciation than they receive.

Amo cada una de sus canciones, saludos desde Chile

My new favorite song!!! Beautiful one to end 2020 with. 🎶💜 🌅

[@DaveH001]

Absolutely glorious! I've been in love with Altan's music since the first time I heard "Donal Agus Morag/The New-Rigged Ship" on Narada's Celtic Odyssey. What an incredible group of musicians and they make it look so easy here.

[@1x1chrissy]

I love this, its so beautiful

[@Catamariner]

Lovely on the high whistle -- also lovely as they performed it on low whistle for the 1997 album 'Best of Altan.' Quite different in mood.

[@alflurin]

It may sound to you all a bit strange but until today I had never heard of Altan. I've seen them today on France 24, and although I'm been for some years a passionate fan of the Chieftains, Altan are the definition of what I like about Gaelic music. Brilliant! Thanks for creating/playing such a beautiful music!

Magic ✊

[@mannyane]

[@Duendito]

Lovely song, thanks for uploading.

[@1uc4rd]

I love this song T__T it makes me feel, i dunno it's like if the song itself could bring memories even the first time you heard it, that was how I felt the first time i heard it, and i still getting the same feeling

[@Finarphin]

That's the way I feel about many of their numbers. This one can be found on their album "Altan" and also on "The Best of Altan."

[@Hogie506]

The band is named after a lough were they grew up in Donegal! Lol but whatever floats your boat, or as my friend says, your cat! :)

[@sunnycelt]

Caught them @ Milwaukee's IRISH FEST...superlative.

[@paolo108]

[@HadasahB]

deeply delightful

[@lescot2000]

[@phynnlessimaging]

mm, Somehow this music is comforting and homelike.

[@caholeta]

maravilloso¡¡

[@christaylor2070]

lovely tune - written by Cathal McConnell from Boys of the Lough

[@Catamariner]

written by Cathal McConnell and Seamus Quinn, according to their liner notes -- but Altan's arrangement.

[@monreal82]

Funny, my Name is Altan aswell. And it does actually mean Sunset. Haha. I guess this Song is for me haha

[@Mirani2]

Playing it on violin/fiddle is hard...tried it! But sounds nice.

[@Nehpetsk]

The album version used a flute.

[@edelahaye]

Because it was from a previous times with Frankie Kennedy (RIP) on the flute. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Kennedy

[@plevyman]

I love it how there's a Mongolian folk rock group called Altan Urag.

[@Martialbenoitmusic]

What is the whistle?

[@Nekromant11]

It's regular D I think

[@Finarphin]

It was too hard on Mairead to make this kind of substitution, I think.

[@Donegal]

Of course but the good bands dont play live like in the studio
