Irish flight delayed so trad session started between DaoiríFarrell, Geoff Kinsella and Robbie Walsh.

So, this is what happened.
The three of us came into the airport and the flight was delayed by nearly two hours.
We could tell that everyone was a little bit unhappy about this and Geoff (the banjo player in the video) suggested that we play a bit of the Galway girl, (this song is called The Galway Girl), in a music session. He played a set of traditional irish dance tunes on the banjo and I (Daoiri Farrell) backed him on the Bouzouki. Robbie Walsh (Bodhran Player) then joined us and we had the attention of everyone in the room immediatly.
I then proceeded to sing a song. I picked one that I thought everyone would know, The Galway Girl. It went down really well. By this stage my dad had the Canon out and here is the video footage he took. His name is Desmond Farrell and his hobby is photography.
Myself Geoff and Robbie are music pals for years. We were in Cumbria at a music festival called "Maddy Prior's Stepping stones Folk Festival".
My website is Daoiri.com and Robbie's is "The Bodhran Buzz" if anyone wants to check out anymore of our music.
I've recorded two solo albums now with Robbie and various things with Geoff also:
I Mainly play as a solo artist singing traditional songs such as these:

On my first trip to Ireland in 1988, it was just after St. Patrick's Day. There were many Irish musicians on the plane returning home from their gigs in the US. As we got closer to Ireland, they started breaking out the instruments just like this. It was the best flight I ever had.

I was the only one who went but they all pulled out instruments and it was the most amazing night! They played and sang, and it seemed as if everyone in the pub pulled out an instrument or sang.

So the alpha caveman grabs the musician banging bones and sticks, tells him that he's a really good stick and bone banger and he's gonna be staying there playing from now on. They'll give him some scraps to eat everyday. If he tries to leave, it's rock in the head. Thus was the Entertainment Industry born.

[@joker9494949494]

it's thought that the first way people made allies was to dance and show they were friendly. And eventually the singing followed, and after that instruments to accompany the singing. I think that's why instinctually people let their guard down and let loose when they hear music. it's an ancient sign of peace.

Then one of them drew a fiddle from under the table, and started to play. Shortly after he was joined by his friends with an accordion and tin whistle of sorts. Within 2 minutes they were surrounded by everyone in the pub, smiling, clapping and cheering. The atmosphere was just incredible. One of the most amazing experiences of my life.

This is so cool because you can really tell from this that Irish immigrants had a huge impact on early American music, such a bluegrass and folk

[@dantecusolito8513]

@aimee curry American bluegrass music is a relatively new genre, only emerging in the 1950s with banjo players like earl scruggs and his 3 finger technique. It is a direct descendant of Appalachian "old time fiddle" music. Old time music is in turn a descendant of the music of Irish and Scottish fiddle music wedded with the music of slaves that were kidnapped and brought to the southern US. They brought with them the memories of the akonting, a string instrument with a skin head found in west africa. Enslaved musicians then used the materials available to them to create gourd banjos, which during the 1800s were "discovered" by white musicians and slowly morphed into modern banjos. Immigrants who then returned to Ireland brought with them tenor banjos, which became irish 4 string banjos and were incorporated into their trad music alongside the fiddles, whistles, and bodhrans. The bouzouki, which is seen in this video as well is not originally an Irish instrument, but a Greek one that was incorporated into the tunes of Irish music. Essentially most of the instruments of Ireland are not originally Irish, and certainly none of the "American" instruments are native. Ireland mostly just put new instruments into their musical tradition, but all of American music is a conglomeration of music and instruments from around the world.
