Michael McGoldrick, John McCusker & John Doyle live at Celtic Colours

[@TartanCatholic]

John Doyle's accompaniment is just beautiful. The whole set would bring a tear to a glass eye.

[@galwayvintagecollection3401]

"Operation Shamrock ☘ 20,21,22,23,24 " endorses that view also.❤

[@rumeunner3245]

At many gigs, the bloody piano is always set much louder than the other instruments, and its annoying

[@DiddleLe]

He certainly rocked up the tunes with Solas. Definitely put Irish music back on the map, especially in the USA. Phenomenal guitar player.

[@Dogtagnan]

👍

[@scottstimson4306]

I've been a widower for almost twenty years; I'm hoping, and praying, to get remarried and have our honeymoon during the Celtic Colours Festival!

[@DeeFay-fl1hs]

Fills me with joy every time I listen. Roll on 22 February 2025 in Shrewsbury.

[@amberconnolly235]

I think this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard, it changes me inside listening to this.

[@manifara2878]

It does.

[@mazgriffiths8922]

You've said that for me! x

[@Elishea36]

I agree!

[@Deejaay83urj38]

Yep. That's Celtic music for you

[@NateEdwardsGolf]

It changed me too on the inside the tin whistle and the hormone therapy

[@belzebul]

The fact that this very version can be found on Spotify fills me with even more joy

[@leesimpson9694]

McCusker and Mcgoldrick, both brilliant instrumentalists. Can listen to this all day. Soothingly delightful.

[@lights779]

The sound quality on this is so good. Better than a lot of studio recordings.

[@mainsblanches8793]

First thing I noticed!!...what a great tech!!...

[@johnnyfrank8450]

Really incredible!!

[@assistantassistant5516]

Yes it's stunning. I would have never tried miking that close but the intimacy is incredible.

[@uplinker7160]

The recordings from the Celtic Colours festival are some of cleanest, best mixed, and highest quality live recordings I have ever heard. Here is another fine example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn7Fd6xor7Z-ea8

[@PhillProbst]

Agree ... only quibble is I would have preferred the guitar mike'd rather than plugged in. Guitar tone has a bit of that "buzzy" edge characteristic of plugged in.

[@NaomiKFCHutchin]

Of to see these three tomorrow with my Daddy , again. Thank you for giving us the music we can love together ❤

[@giraffebecky]

That just brought tears to my eyes and I couldn't hold it in! My God I love music that does that. And Celtic music does it to me all the time, I was born in Germany and raised in Utah, USA. Doesn't matter who you are, this music is magical.

[@TheArnoldnikolaus]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[@drummerboy1390]

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman. They've been playing together for years on the Transatlantic Sessions.

[@leesimpson9694]

McCusker and McGoldrick are absolutely amazing musicians and multi instrumentalists.

[@richardbeaton7324]

On a calm sunny day, late afternoon , Walking through the woods or just the countryside with this in headphones is bliss!

[@overtonefinds6385]

That switch into Lochaber Badger at 3:33 is like a perfect landing after an insane acrobatic jump

[@danielborsky5947]

It sounds more like a perfect transition rather than an acrobatic jump to me...

[@kermitdfrog1511]

That transition was so clean you could eat off it

[@TheNeologie]

They coming to our city Kellinghusen , Germany, 2.9.2023. After so many nice words I will go to the concert. Thanks 👍

[@Laucian7]

Man, this guitarist ... such a treat ! This trio works so well, way to go lads

[@CommViewer]

Absolutely a stunning recording - who ever did the sound tech on this did an amazing job !! ...oh and the playing and musicianship was terrific !

[@thomassmith6790]

Don’t really know how I stumbled on this man playing the flute but by god is it beautiful

[@oranbuckley3254]

Always a nice morning waking up to this

[@JWFloyd]

I've listened to these tunes a hundred times on my Fred Morrison album, and I wouldn't have believed anyone else could play the music as well until I heard this. Holy cow are these guys good. The guitarist is also excellent.

[@siamterry]

Incredible, and an extremely tasteful guitar at the perfect level :)

[@seanleith5312]

My female friend said this to me: the best of any profession belongs to male. They are just better at everything. I have to agree with her.

[@quatremaillemusique]

@@seanleith5312 That's a terrible thing to say. Luckily there's plenty of awesome female musicians out there to prove you wrong

[@quatremaillemusique]

@@seanleith5312 Ho, yeah, please do put some racism on your sexism

[@ebjeezer]

One of my most favorite performance ever and it makes it that more special it was performed in my beloved home of Cape Breton Island.

[@brunobouttaz]

J'adore ! des bons souvenirs à Albiez Montrond !

[@temriver]

One of my favorite tunes, ever. To coin a phrase from the late, great Michael Hedges: it starts with a lovely, lilting melody, eases out and into rock, and ends in a fit of disco fury!! :)

[@maryc.grider2691]

❤Ah! Another Michael Hedges fan who also appreciates good Celtic.

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

This music feeds my soul and lifts my spirits 💚💙🤍

[@bobbyjohnston7857]

Respect from the Celtic Pagans of Eire. What beautiful haunting music, the old Celtic way. Saoirse agus Saor agus freedom.

[@franksabatino7576]

Incredibly subtle, utterly bewitching music.

[@Chrisna012]

I've listened these for several times. And I feel like I'm in a peaceful world, away from the noise of the city.

[@mohamedanir9107]

Like from morocco👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Sebastian_K-t7n]

This is one of those videos where I would give more than one 'thumb up'.

[@briankingham175]

I've played this video so many times over the months to hear this, so good & enjoyable, never gets old

[@ernstroad]

I saw John Doyle several times with Solas. Brilliant. Acoustic guitar is not historically an accompaniment to Celtic music. Until, of course, it really is in the hands of a John Doyle. Truly wonderful.

[@tituschad1144]

This is soul soothing music. Very primal. Long live the pentatonic.

[@queixotv]

This is my mantra every day!

[@craiglauder5481]

Thankful for the wonderful music by Michael McGoldrick, John McCusker & John Doyle. Going to a Celtic Colours Festival is on my to do list, but listening at home is a fine substitute. Praise God for the joy that Michael McGoldrick, John McCusker & John Doyle have shared, and for working through the equipment and algorithms that make it accessible to many. Wish I could have listened to them prior to learning the recorder as a child. Also, when possible remember to support local musicians.

[@PeterPan-iz1kk]

WOOW!!! Tears in my eyes and a big smile on my face. So beautiful, so musical, so good!

[@morganadavies8319]

I hope to play like these musicians- one day! Beautiful and inspiring!

[@MrHarpplaya]

Always one of my favorite jams 💙💚 I love their tone and how funky it gets!

[@scampsyorkshire5368]

First time I saw these music marvels was c. 8 years ago at Findhorn. It cost me all of £12! Hope they never stop.

[@caledonia64]

I was lucky enough to see these guys last night in St Andrews, they played this in their set , fantastic musicians. Lovely guys too , great to get to speak to them in an informal setting.

[@rickrickard2788]

Impeccable twin whistling! I couldn't distinguish the two gentlemen, until one would peal off. I don't know if people understand the difficulty, in the statement I just made- but their half-holing, rolling, all of it, matched up.. well, impeccably. That was a joy to listen to! One thing I wish more might do? list the instruments they play! Key, Style, etc. And all involved, too. Unsure if there are.. what? Commercial issues, in regards to money or whatever, as the reason we don't see it very often, but it would sure be awesome if they could.

[@Antoine_Nicolas_]

No words to describe this, how beautiful it is....

[@tariqhoque7989]

Heart Touching music. It makes me calm. Just Wow.

[@douglascutler1037]

Lately I've turned to Trad Irish before bed. Even the faster jigs and reels are hypnotic with their twisting, flowing, unpredictable melodies. Easy for the mind to let go into a timeless beauty. Flutes and whistles with guitar or harp are best for this, I find.

[@svetlintri1]

This just fills my soul with pleasure and calmness of nature itself.

[@remiclud]

It's very moving, beautiful, not enough superlatives to say how I feel. Thank you for this sound quality, for sharing. These guys are on Mount Olympus!

[@КамилКамилов-ж5л]

The sound of the flute is very nice!!!! Pretty....

[@prateekjain7423]

Just watching John Doyle play his acoustics can make you feel so much calmer

[@CountanceD]

Whistle right handed AND left handed! Who knew?! I sure didn’t. How cool!

[@Canuckmom128]

I bought a Goldie Low Whistle in D and one in C, partly thanks to this wonderful recording :) Thanks for uploading this great music!

[@tdkbeloushi6749]

But he's playing a Goldie in F..! 😊 So you have to buy the 3rd whistle... 😂👍🏼

[@Waldlaeufer70]

I know. I bought the C and D because this gives me the most common keys (F, C, G and D). I have lowered the recording three steps, so I can play along with my D whistle.

[@tdkbeloushi6749]

@@Waldlaeufer70 sounds amazing... Enjoy 😊👍🏼

[@martinlaird4738]

If you like playing along to McGoldrick get yourself an F and Eb, thats what he plays most in addition to the D

[@dannyboy7715]

Can I have some advice on a whistle please? I can only afford to buy one (and that's debatable) , I love the sound of both of these. Looked at the Goldie website which one do I buy?

[@TheAsianCHEE]

I believe this tune is called Leaving Uist/Lochaber Badger! I have this on my Spotify playlist, but then this came up randomly on my KZbin playlist and realised it was the same ! Cool to see there guys being it :)
