Where did you guys go! Please come back!

[@gkprivate433]

the cellist is stunning

[@lyndabradley2050]

I think there's rarer a thing than teenagers producing such lovely music, especially when their covers capture the essence of the song so much better than many "professionals".

[@CipGuitarlover]

I'm listening to it on repeat for two days now. I can't get enough. It's simply awesome!

[@wachtelkoenig]

#metoo ;-)

[@mirzaahmed6589]

[@daledanowski9962]

[@RobertoPuglisi-mx5zq]

Bravi ! Trasmettete gioia e allegria ! Grazie !

[@williamavalon9503]

Bravo! Your version of The Star of the County Down is particularly awesome!

[@ioannesperegrinus5404]

Da würd ich gern noch mal 10 Daumen hoch geben- ich hör es mir immer wieder an!

[@williamhardway6436]

I don't see a bunch of kids I just see brilliant musicians. They're as good or better than most other folk. More songs please

[@niklasblh7298]

I've discovered this video about five years ago and I keep coming back. Easily the best, most powerful version of "Star of the County Down" on KZbin.

[@blahdiblah2169]

I would have to agree. I'm studying this piece now for classical guitar, and I've heard so many variations on many instruments, and from many bands. There are truly a lot of exceptional versions out there. Not only from Irish grown stars but from all over the world. However without any doubt in my mind I can say this particular rendition is the very best I've heard in about a year of listening to a) Every single version of it on Spotify, and a great many hours on KZbin. Without any doubt whatsoever.

[@jenniferlaynemusic]

[@hludovicus4478]

I'm disappointed that they haven't pursue to produce awesome music. But I still enjoy coming back here to listen to this masterpiece.

[@Katzenmutter]

omg you guys are adorable!!

[@Jamesdylandean]

Pure talent and a lot of hard work, I suspect. Lovely looking young people, the blonde cellist is special even in this group. Makes me wish I had taken my musical lessons more seriously in my youth.

[@royoshea1]

refreshing new arrangement, youth always comes up with new answers to old questions (Im 60)

[@oreilly67]

made I laugh ! they looked like they had a wicked time doing that ! bit slow getting going but when it kicked in it was good ! well done

[@naaval9137]

The slow part is wonderful too. I walked down the aisle to it at my wedding. And then we danced to the rest afterwards. 😊

[@tea-chan7799]

We used to sing the German version of this song every time with the Scouts haha

[@ohdeolaf]

Awesome :o

[@whatthecockw]

I think I'm in love with Patrick :)

I'm learning this song on classical guitar, but your version really captures the heart of the original.

[@bohma7519]

Check out the Van Morrison version!

[@Omnicide101]

This is an absolute fantastic rendition, and is that a bit of the Swallowtail Jig in the beginning? Amazing work ❤

[@benher6934]

That was tight

[@The1cdccop]
