Leahy - B Minor

[@meraxcess]

Still here 2024

[@MrRocklover18]

This is so freakin catchy it keeps bringing me back and i only came across this about two weeks ago These guys have some insane talent

[@daveanthony4280]

I met Leahy in the late 90's in Ottawa at the NAC when they performed at the GG awards. Fantastic group of people. Very out going and friendly bunch who wanted to hijack my limo and go into the 'Market' in Ottawa. There was 8 of them!! What could I do? Great memories. Great music.

[@carcrazycanuk7468]

Is that limo by any chance the extended hummer h2 I’ve seen around town?

[@Highland804]

MAN, what a talented family! I wish they'd come to California.

[@black.baron_angel]

Highland804 Wait, they’re a family?

[@debbietoornman5780]

One of my favorite Leahy tunes.

[@jrb51055]

Its tough typing with goosebumps ya know? I discovered them when i went to Halifax to open a call center, a few years ago now. i'm a little white guy with 2 left feet. Cant carry a tune nor keep the beat. They ought to be a National Treasure!!!!!!

[@linegenevievemichaud6739]

❤️ beautiful family so talented 💖

[@averythecatto]

Amazing song, but I'm curious as to why the drummer is behind a blast shield.

[@awarmmilkandcookies]

Acoustic drums are loud as fuck. In a setting like this, the wall is needed to prevent the other musicians (and the audience) from getting their ears destroyed. Also if his beats are too fire, the drummer might explode and nobody wants to get that on their shoes.

[@delci]

Maybe he has a tendency to drop the drumsticks, and the others finally got tired of the flying sticks? 😛

[@FormerTurnip]

The noise floor of a stage like this is quite low, so it just helps control the sound. A metal band might sometimes have an incredibly loud stage volume so it doesn't matter how much the drums bleed over

[@thewindowsitters9544]

In case on of those fiddles finally gives out. It's for protection

[@OmarPhoenix]

For purposes of live recordings, they isolate the drums that way the audience noise does not bleed into all of the drum microphones.

[@TahirK1189]

how can 5 people dislike this? How can anyone dislike this?

[@MrEcho-wh2dt]

TahirK1189 damn right granted I have Irish blood but it's still best, eh?

[@livinginthepacific]

Because they are idiots and have no appreciation for talent.

[@vydem]

They just missclick)

[@sweetontario]

I saw them in concert a couple years ago and omg they are so amazing...and so talented. Wish they would come back

[@luckyvet]

[@natalieengleman2753]

You mean Irish step dancing. Tap dancing is different

[@MaratNukeev]

Шикарно💥💯👏👏👏

[@Christopher.Thompson]

Amazing! I love this song!

[@nimloth11]

Qué maravilla! Cuanta belleza y talento!

[@theresamelanescu9425]

GREAT MUSIC

[@glittermerchant]

@oakcityrules its not all that difficult to be honest, there just definetly needs to be an excellent technical foundation really, its mostly scale runs and decent bowing skills which takes time but as a piece its relatively easy...however this video is three tunes...the curlew, jennys chickens and the tamalin/ b minor reel....the most difficult of these pieces rangewise /technique wise etc is jennys chickens.maybe give a shot at the curlew and work your way up=Dsoon youl have the whole thing

[@nimloth11]

Los conozco desde 1997 y no sabia que eran canadienses! como Mackennit. Dios amo Canadá!

[@TheReacTT]

This vid is sooooo good even if it's only about half of the song

[@josephdvorscak5262]

[@Faithwitness]

Awesome! Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

[@Guthorm]

woah! I am up from chair and dancing!!!! That's not "a" fiddle, that's THE fiddle!!! :D

[@Bobbonkers]

I dont know the first tune, but the second one is jennys chickens and the third one is Tam lin or the glasgow reel

[@Gsusroocks4eva]

11 years later... the first one is called "The Curlew", but a really interesting variation compared to the standard one ... now I need to learn Jenny's Chickens!

[@marc80s]

Some old fiddlers think Donnel isnt respectful of the tradition but I say go for it!

[@104thDIVTimberwolf]

If you remember that this *isn't* Irish, but Cape Breton Celtic, there's nothing at all wrong with it.

[@brownzors101]

0:47. So this is Celtic music? It's beast, and i like rap.

[@progieman]

Great Song how can you not tap your foot or cpa your hands when you listen

[@glittermerchant]

@Ronbomb1 ...i remember learning these tunes when i was about 10 ish or so... theyre all great ...seriously though give the first tune. the curlew a shot youll be able to build up some of the technique needed for jennys chickens and the tamalin/b minor reel in which the bow technique needed for crisp string crossing ,the finger dexterity 4 runs,rolls,double stopping etc.can be refined...drowsy maggies reel isnt in this set, although there is a high possibility you know it as different title=P

[@kjvtruth9831]

The bass is going nuts at about 1:52 but she's not playing... is this like Millie Vanilly??????

[@RobertMcGovernTarasis]

I was wondering also about the piano, doesn’t look she’s playing what can be heard.

[@cthomsen4]

It might have something to do with the engineer that can be seen at 1:19 trying to fix something. Also after the song, she turns to her pedals as if to troubleshoot herself

[@RobertMcGovernTarasis]

Nice spot, had missed the engineer fiddling away there.

[@lgcrooks]

@FrazzleKat Oh Yeah!! And you should hear his wife, Natalie MaMaster. Absolutely awesome!

[@XraySuper]

[@sosotik]

Irish Boss Music

[@Keyboardman123]

@Bobbonkers I think that's the piano keeping playing the bass is it not?

[@thestutteringking99]

Is this song findable on Spotify?

[@iPivo]

@Keyboardman123 It can't be the piano. The tone of the bass is very differente from the piano. There is something very weird with this video!

[@mmasque2052]

Pedro Ivo Braun the bassist is the woman standing closest to the drummer. Black top with loose blue sleeves.

[@poppyaje]

@brownzors101 then why u watch it ????

[@Omfgwhtavid]

Can't fight the piano sheet music anywhere :(

[@connorschmidt2611]

whats the name of the first tune they play. i really want to learn it

[@Zoe.Robertson]

I know you asked this 3 years ago, but I've been looking for ages, too and only just found it: The Curlew (thesession.org/tunes/174)

[@spiritbearsrawesome]

They're not called bow strings. But look how many he's loosing. Or at least how many he SHOULD be loosing.

[@maliciousintruder3010]

Basically a more awesome version of Jenny's chickens

[@PerIndAndreaMontana]

SCORE?

[@shamux4043]

Rush 🅱️elfast

[@Vikusik1005]

Охренееееть!!!

[@Fast2Z]

1:38 and where da hell hands of bass player must be at this piece??? 1:53 hhmmmm Show me a bass player???

[@mmasque2052]

Fast2Z the bassist is the woman in the black top with loose, light blue sleeves; standing nearest to the drummer.

[@Txkato]

why cant german folk music be as good as irish

[@progieman]

clap**

[@sarge727]

Does charlie daniels play a mean fiddled? hell no....this guy sure does

[@thomas0comer]

Zero, I should hope. You loose ARROWS from the bows. Besides, their strings are perfectly tightened.

[@katebosence7806]

POTATOES

[@NathanHiggersson]

Girls in detention: Ugh, I hate detention. It's sooo boring. Boys in detention:

[@Bobbonkers]

ok, at 1.37 the bass player stops playing to pull her sleeves up but the bass carries on

[@penkovsky1]

If that is your pet peeve, then your musical career is over! The audience is what the music is about--if you cannot interact with your audience(in a positive way, mood), then bye, bye! Try heavy metal rock, that is an angst driven vent.

[@lgcrooks]

@FrazzleKat Oh Yeah!! And you should hear his wife, Natalie MacMaster. Absolutely awesome!
