[@SC-hk6ui]

that is some sick melodeon. Playing both rows on buttons that I never though of with almost no effort. wowza, what a melodeonist.

[@PlaiulNou]

These Celtic songs are very beautiful! Like from Romania!

[@MBTaylor]

I know this video is several years old, but I just wanted to say a big thanks to all of you musicians! I love using the Boys of Malin tune with my dance students (starting 5.30), and you all are playing it at just the right speed for us. Thanks for sharing!

[@ganainm]

[@22grena]

Is it? Soon it will no longer be Irish at this rate and the Irish in Ireland will cease to be.

[@15footgelatinouscube]

Nice to see the culture of my people has made it to Korea. Looks like they're having loads of craic.

OMG This is Epic.

[@dchubad]

this is great music love it. how the hell do they remember every note??? very clever people thanks for posting :)

[@mkirksmith]

Dion Fitzgerald Hi, Dion, You break the tune down into sections and learn each section. The tunes are typically in an A A B B structure, I.e., a first section is repeated and then a section is repeated. Also, the last part of each section is usually common to both A and B. All these repeats make the tunes easier to learn. The tunes usually come in sets of three (a particular group of players might regularly play these) and each tune is played twice before moving to the next one - that's how everyone knows when to change to the next tune and which tune it will be. I've been playing along with these musicians on flute and whistle - they are playing at a nice speed - not too fast.

[@dchubad]

@@mkirksmith thanks :)

[@mkirksmith]

@@dchubad My pleasure. I'm playing at a session tonight at the Parador Hotel in Belfast. Handily, I've been given a page with the session's 33 core "sets", mostly of three tunes each and giving the name of each tune. KZbin is a great way of finding and practicing them, especially using the 75% and 50% playback setting options.

[@FlatlandMando]

Certainly a tribute to the worldwide appeal of Irish music..Of course! Why shouldn't it be popular among knowledgeable asian players!

[@richardbonnette490]

I like how close Chinese and Irish music are to each other -- similar beauty in style and trills -- all men have a taste for good music, it just depends on whether or not they keep on passing on the amazing music knowledge!

[@davidmellington]

Cool story bro.

[@mariegordon6248]

It is just an old Irish tradition to sit down and keep a serious face when playing and unless you are there to dance, the audience is also supposed to keep a serious face and silence. Of course, things change, My father was a Sligo fiddle player and my one regret is that he is not here to watch all this on You Tube. That would be my duty, to keep the music coming, along with the tea.

[@terencegorman4672]

great

[@Y0NY0NS0N]

many players in britain play too fast for their ability. you have it just right. great sound!

[@mkirksmith]

I agree - it’s just right.

[@Swenthorian]

I think it's perfect at 1.25x speed, myself; but either way, great playing. :)

[@mactcampbell]

Good one. Is that the Chester Story that lives in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia? Does anyone know another name for "The Kid on the Mountain". We used to play one very similar to that in Newfoundland in Am and C. You can hear it on my video on here.

[@roberthickman4092]

There playing is quite a bit slower than typical irish sessions around here in the UK, not that this is a bad thing.

[@HenryVandenburgh]

I hate fast playing, especially when it's a hornpipe.

[@mkirksmith]

I play in a session here in Ireland and we don't play fast. I think this session sounds fine. It's nice to think that some Koreans are playing Irish trad. I wonder where they got the idea from.

[@yaboi-km2qn]

I guess it depends on what you’re going for.

[@boxaman1100]

Hello Marie,,,thank you for the reply, very nice of you to take the time. I would like to play along on my bodhran with you and maybe you could teach me some more beats, than can do at the moment.. and by the way you are lovely looking lady, I cant believe that you have not been snapped up in marriage yet. ATVBest,, Andy.

[@swallowgravity5584]

Falta un whistle y sería perfectoooo jajaja muy bonito! Seguid tocando

[@rfdarsie]

Nice. I think the last tune is called Boys of Malin, not Boys of Milan.

[@dukadarodear2176]

rfdarsie Yes. A big difference One in the north of Ireland. One in that of Italy. Only in Ireland could the most northerly point be in the 'South'.

[@foroparapente]

While zero visual spirit, the technical execution is enviable...they just need a litre of soju each first.

It's French - it's their way of saying "eh?" or "huh?" - in the sense of "The Weather's pretty nice today, huh?"

[@edelahaye]

@3annieb Yes a little bit loud, but she's OK. Just a problem on the 2nd reel, she's has not been on the right beat during the first round. But she has been correct after.

Great music, two questions: 1. What is the purpose of the four dots on the points of the male fiddle players' instrument? 2. Why was no one dancing?

[@RobertiniGaiteiro]

It's a nice viedo, but... I don't know how to say in English... In Spanish we say "le falta algo". I would translate it like this: "not enough feeling". There are not happy faces. Anayway, congratulations. Those moments are great.

In what key is the accordion tuned in? =)

[@davidbardoi7745]

[@GraeneyMac]

The accordion is tunes in B/C.

[@adelazaneta]

I cannot get the Irish style of accordion playing.....Unbelievable hard. I have both BC and Csharp/D accordions, but I am not able to understand, how it works. Yes It hal full chromatic scales, but press, push style ist uncatchable.

[@itepilah]

you can do it! just listen and practice!

[@mariegordon6248]

You can do it, just listen to Irish music and get up and dance to it, by yourself, get a "feel" for it, the way the Irish who play it by ear learn it.....best of luck....watch a bit of Sean Nos Dance, give you a feel for the music and its interpretation...

[@adelazaneta]

It is better now....I've learnt a lot but prefer Csharp/d system....

[@adelazaneta]

Teddykinso It is better now....I've learnt a lot but prefer Csharp/d system....

[@kathleenbranda9494]

Markéta Krejčová I can't say for sure for accordion, but working on the lilt helps me to play these tunes better on fiddle. Mazurkas like Vincent Campbell's or Sonny Brogan's were written for accordion, but they help me with my lilt on fiddle, so you might want to check them out and see if they help your playing.

[@darrynmccartney1118]

Ah, sure isn't this class!!

[@iamthegooch85]

Ahh now! I've been playing for years and I reckon there's no reason you can't smile and look about while playing, particularly when you're playing at a (no offense) relaxed pace. Fair enough if you're playing something quite tricky, but they aren't.

[@cocusflute]

Nice-- except for the too loud bodhran. Why don't bodhran players get it? It's obnoxious and that's a shame because the music is so lovely without it.

[@johntrehy227]

The bodhran player is doing a great job, definitely not too loud. Percussion helps keep the music from wobbling all over the place.

[@dukadarodear2176]

John Trehy Yep. Bodhran players are human too. Though Seamus Ennis would have the instrument played with an open penknife.

[@dukadarodear2176]

Davy Levine You're such a nasty man. So was Seamus Ennis. He said the Bodhran should be played with an open pen knife. Bodhran Players are a persecuted minority and they need help and support.
