Leahy & Chieftains - B Minor

Leahy & Chieftains - B Minor

[@lizirynn]

It's true, you can't listen to their music and NOT smile. The joy on their faces...you can tell they have so much fun doing this. :D

[@chickintellect]

They're all such sweethearts. Last time I was at Natalie and Donnell's house they were going through the rounds teaching the kids- every kid has a half hour lesson each on dancing and fiddling every day. Adorable :)

[@stacey4u2luv]

I had the honour of growing up near the Leahy family. I grew up in Young's Point and went to school in Lakefield. I know where they live exactly and have seen them in the Kinmount fair. :)

[@barbkaus]

Love Leahy and Natalie as well. Have seen them in concerts over the past few years. Leahy at CalTech in Feb. And to believe that the first time I saw Leahy was on PBS. Natalie just before that.

[@TheReacTT]

The Leahy family makes this style of music even better

[@rodrigoaragon]

Brutal speed fiddler! Is awesome and it's great to see the Chieftains too.

[@XaeroQ3]

Nice! video and music. amazing!

[@SPAZZOBOXER]

Funny how such a relentless assault can win over even the most skeptical. Many young rockers,determined to be resistant, when exposed to one live performance become admirers. Traditionalists, who resent the New Age trappings & modern insrumental renderings, begrudgingly smile. Artists like Leahy provide a gateway for new fans to experience through curiousity, other artists & forms of traditional music. The Chieftans have always understood this,& their work in promoting & preserving is unmatched.

My father used to do a silly step dance. Growing up with Don, we danced alot. Makes me tear up everytime

[@fastfiddler1625]

Who on earth gives this less than 5 stars. Maybe the video quality but that's it... Bravo! I wish I could play like that.

[@logananddeanfan]

Took the words right out of mouth :D

[@beltaineca]

Yes, the song is actually called "B Minor" :) It's on their first (self titled) album. Worth every penny & more. We're seeing them tomorrow night!

[@patrickoneil4313]

Totally Classic!

[@helixrose44]

I love all the history and talent of Celtic music, but I have to say it, I just can't help it- HE'S SO HOT!!! :D

[@Irish61248]

Saw Leahy this sunmmer in Lowell, MA ...totally blown away...received a great reception and review....Hope they come again

[@justwarren]

They are so great!

[@barbkaus]

Just simpsly absolutely the BEST!!!

[@pvtvice]

Fantastic. Never get tired of this song. As the spectator says: "Oh my God". That sums it all up.

[@FS2K4Pilot]

That’s not a spectator, that’s Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains.

[@patrickoneil4313]

Music for me , love it!!!! Music for the soul .

[@Barnacle99]

This video is bursting with energy and downright joy.

[@NeffiLoca]

[@zanatural]

Yowza! Great performance.

[@MandolinTory]

This is SWEEEEEEET!

[@DrDingsGaster]

Dude I Remember watching this on PBS or something ages ago. Brings back hella memories!

[@sammycircle]

The Leahy Women are so talented and oh SO SO SO SO SO SO Beautiful.............XOXOXOXOXOXOX!

[@georgiakuchinsky]

That's the key of the tune, because he does multiples, and one of them is Tam Lin which is definitely ot in B-minor, it's either D-minor or A-minor.

[@W4rr4X]

Awesome family of artists, the chemistry between them is just... wow ! The speed at which the main violonist play is a great feat to accomplish...

[@boisei0]

Ha, I've this song on DVD. Beatifull!

[@CDBlue47]

What a great song. Thanks for postin.

[@barbkaus]

Just too, too AMAZING. Have seen them three times and they are the BEST!!!

[@TheRuubells]

1:42 -1:57 is the best part to me

[@Haldirchan]

Pure genious and talent! I remember when I was at the chieftains' concert here in mallorca. It was amazing! I ended dancing on the stage! 5 stars

[@rufus566]

Ethnically Leahy are Scottish and Irish, their nationality is Canadian. They play a Canadian version of their heritage music, from Scotland and Ireland. They are joined by the Chieftains, who are Irish both in their ethnicity and nationality.

[@MattBronsil]

This has long been one of my favorite bands. Thank you for uploading it.

[@krysialove]

Thanks for all the kind comments!

[@draganivic]

[@dasfeuer]

The first album is great

[@Darwinsgift]

Excellent! The posts already say it but one more will not hurt!

[@CathyHiram]

Wicked!!!!!

[@BlueLotus108]

Any time you can leave the Cheiftain's setting there with a look of WTF just happened, you are indeed great.

[@georgiakuchinsky]

And one of the tunes is Sheehan's, which is played in G. Which, incidentally, is played in G in this recording.

[@SomeOtherGuy9]

Saw them when they came to the Eisemann Center in Dallas and loved every moment of it :D

[@angelit161]

Leahy family / group is Canadian, from Lakefield, Ontario. The Chieftains are irish.

[@iraqidolphin]

They aren't playing till they bust a few strings. lol!!

[@SamFischer1000]

By the way the first part is jenny's Chickens and then two variations of Tam Lin. And believe me it is difficult to play but sounds fantastic!!!

[@gracehetheringtonmusic]

HOLY CRAP!

[@faketurn]

最高！

[@suvi7393]

I'm going to play this for the end of year concert and I'm really looking forward to it!

[@svan79]

[@suvi7393]

+Svan Vinski If you mean sheets of music then yes, but I don't have this complete version; mine is a shorter one

[@svan79]

[@svan79]

[@Guthorm]

Woah!

[@mrPedagog]

super...super...super!!!

[@ufimets]

great!

[@SamFischer1000]

Wow this is my favorite tune ever!!! but I can't find the sheet music anywhere =(

[@persmats]

The only thing that's bad in this video clip is that the sound is slightly delayed. Everything else: PERFECT!! ^^

[@MrWhiteBeast]

i want to see their concert in live

[@Yuilhan35]

wow.

[@gracehetheringtonmusic]

this is on one of the Leahy albums actually!

[@artlxp]

2019. Russia with love )

[@DOF2525]

4:25 〜 nice

[@VinceWatou]

that's a fuckin high speed song lol! i LOVE IT

[@Meerminmaagd]

LOL XD that's so true:P

[@JanFormela]

@k5intx His name is Donnell Leahy

[@justwarren]

You know, when you compare Donnell Leahy to the "dueling violins" videos on KZbin, there is absolutely no comparison. He is so much better he is in a different class musically. Not that they are so bad, it's just that he is that good!

[@FS2K4Pilot]

I’ve heard him called the best in the world, and while I’m certain Charlie Daniels would contest that, it would be great fun indeed to hear the two of them battle over a golden fiddle to settle the issue…

[@tachankaizumo3189]

YO!

[@mindspring20]

he makes it soo easy, I can play like 2/3rd of it, but boy is it hard to learn by ear

[@woodtick71]

did anyone else notice that the one guitar dosen't seem to have a headpiece?

[@user-po1bk5js8n]

ゲームのＢＧＭってケルト音楽を基にしたものが多いですよね（？）

[@Irish780]

istephen00 the chieftians arent. t.he are our national treasure:-D:-D

[@422niron]

is this on any of the chieftan's albums? if so, which one?

[@Irish780]

Cant beat the irish:-D:-D

[@dasfeuer]

Yes, I Guess

[@fidzlefou]

Impressive & intence. 5 big ones for this gem

[@bluesiesangel]

...*gasp*...

[@karimacleod]

the secon tune they play is one i play and we know it as "the galsgow reel" but that's probably not it's original name!

[@erikm8372]

Kari Macleod the tunes in order are "The Curlew" by Josephine Keegan, "Jenny's Chickens," then a third tune, then the Glasgow reel. Not sure the third name.

[@hafidinventeurhafidinvente3235]

[@joemcneilly]

What year was this from?

[@rufus566]

They are Scottish/Irish - Canadian.

[@georgiakuchinsky]

What tune is this/

[@RogueReplicant88]

k caos! Mejor ahora que estan mas talluditos y vejetes y suenan mucho mejor!

[@DemBonez]

I'm serious, look at 1:45 in the video. it's just the piano that's playing, but everyone's still jammin away. not accusing the band of anything, I just think that there's something up with the video, a time delay perhaps?

[@bluestriker4444]

I hate to make this comparison,but just watch some mindless rapper talk an inane song with a beat and then watch this.These guys have more talent in their hangnail then most popular artists do.

[@greenfire919]

The Cheiftains are not given enough credit here. Cameras always on Leahy.

[@nimloth11]

they are canadian
