Traditional Irish Music from LiveTrad.com: Shoot The Crows Clip 4

From Shoot The Crows Pub in Sligo, this session was recorded on a Tuesday evening and broadcast on LiveTrad.com on Friday June 10 2011. This informal gathering of local musicians happens in this pub every week. Typically, no one's ever sure who's going to pop in, and this is a typical example of an organic session, where people come and go, fool around with different tunes, and, because they're playing as much for their own enjoyment as for those in attendance, it gives top musicians a chance to enjoy the music in a relaxed, informal setting.

That dude playing harmonica and concertina at same time!? Holy shit serious talent! ☘💚👍

[@JL-hg4wk]

Holy smokes…. That’d be insanely difficult.

[@davidgaston7334]

the stamina alone before the immense talent of both instruments

[@seamusreid4615]

Was thinking the same. That really is good.

[@maxwootton7822]

Playing the harmonica and the concertina - brilliant = :) (y)

[@terencemagee]

I think the same happens to me, with strong Irish DNA. English Mum, Irish Dad, I absolutely hooked by Gaelic music, only one in the family.

[@beanem.3989]

My DNA is from everywhere but Ireland and I listen to this constantly. It’s just really good music. Puts you in a trance almost

[@OldLadyTrucker]

reminds me of the jam session we used to have at the feed store on Saturday nights in small town Texas.....folks show up, sit down on a stack of feed sacks, open up their case, tune a bit, and jump in.....best music in the world, played for the joy of the music and the companion beside you....learned my best licks at those jams...

I was excited to see the Hohner button accordion; my father played that exact same one all his life. It sits on my self because no one in the family plays accordion anymore.

[@gerryhanley1]

greetings Victoria - only now seeing your post , 10 years after the recording was made ! Yes the accordion that I am playing is a 1930's model, it came from the US apparently, glad you enjoyed the music - as I do your art work

Ann Kirrane on the far left on Anglo Concertina.

[@beshkodiak]

That man playing an English concertina AND a harmonica at the same time! Chromatic and Diatonic at once, ow, my brain!

[@inlandonline]

That is the incomparable Rick Epping, a resident of Sligo and harmonica innovator.

[@martini3524]

First time I've seen that - English concertina & harmonica together. Unbelievable! I play the spoons and there are 2 of them also but something tells me it's not on the same level.

I have yet to find any recording of Irish music I like as much as this on Amazon Music, Spotify, SoundCloud, etc. Anyone help me? Which albums?

[@Dayepipes]

The Wise Maid

[@Summer-mb6cv]

are they professional musician? or all Irish people could play instruments like this?

[@hooleyqueen]

Pretty much in the old days every member of a family would play at least one instrument or at least sing. It is still common all over the country. I have been all around Ireland both the Republic and Northern Ireland. Most tourists do not go to Northern Ireland. If you go, there are good backpacker Hostels near Queens University (you do not need to actually be a hiker to stay in these hostels.) They are affordable and you can cook in the kitchen to save $$$ Visit Kelly's Cellars in Belfast near the clock tower in a small lane. Best wishes!

[@Sebastian_Gecko]

To answer your question: Yes. They are professionals. Look up Dervish.

[@caemsantos]

@TheBeeblebrox The Wise Maid, a.k.a. All Around The World. =D
