Eluveitie's Anna Murphy Explains The Hurdy-Gurdy

[@leojimenez9719]

" I'm in a band " "what do you play,Guitar? Bass?" Nope i play the Hurdy Fucking Gurdy"

[@Asstronauts93]

I could watch her explain how grass grows. I love her so much XD

[@roguelead72]

@kikiolee On the band's message board, she stated she's Swiss/Irish hence the interesting accent, you can hear a trace of the Swiss in there.

[@Alex-dn5ns]

Anna Murphy is officially the name for awesome!

[@druidzrok]

Anna Murphy = new woman crush

[@therammsteinboys]

Hands of she is mine!

[@druidzrok]

nah son

[@rlong82571]

The song at the end she is playing is "Andro" by Faun, a German pagan folk band. It is on their Licht album, but they have "Andro II" on their newest album Von den Elben that has the same rift. Great band. I will have to check out Eluveitie.

[@xxDEATHUNLIMITEDxx]

Actually it is a Breton folk dance.

[@NicholasKonradsen]

an dro is a very old tune

[@Cyradis256]

Nice! I've rarely seen a gurdy with 4 melody strings, though I can see why it can be useful if you play in a band. No need to retune the melody strings according to the song, just put on a different melody string when you need it :) It's incredible that she only had been playing for 3 months when she joined the band, she's really talented. Go Anna!

[@bachforelle11]

omg she is so beautiful !

[@ratz30]

Wow! only 4 years and she's already so talented! I want a Hurdy Gurdy so badly!

[@Ride4Dime]

I was at Irving Plaza the day this was recorded. I went for Amon Amarth Twighlight of the Thunder God tour II and Eluveitie and holy grail opened for amon amarth. Hated holy grail...but i love eluveitie way more than amon amarth since that day. Their music also makes me think of home..although they are from Switzerland America is much different than Ireland.

[@Daggy5]

@juckexD Almost right. In Germany we say "Drehleier". "Drehorgel" are those organ pipes with wheels you see very often in Amsterdam or on special medieval markets

[@fha64]

beautiful, talented, epic, this woman is perfect in so many levels

[@Schetti1993]

4:14 is Andro from the Spirit Album ;)

[@Moehre01]

Gotschy's Novello Classico that she is playing is one of the best looking Hurdys I've ever seen, and with 3.800 € it has a respectable price o,o

[@nightmareburningchains7969]

such a sweet and cool girl :D

[@33limestone]

I think the song she played is called Andro (An Dro?). Faun and Omnia have two great versions of it.

[@Vincent_Brien]

@icos211 Yep.I always faught it was the bagpipe(the start of Calling The Rain),

[@kafefertig]

Check out the Swiss Folk project with her on hurdy gurdy, flute, bass and vocals !! FRÄKMÜNDT

[@Sadie20Eerie]

Awesome!! Can't wait to see them in Mexico next year! ^^

[@Maggot91ify]

***** the tune played at the end of the video is called "AnDro" it's a traditional Breton folk dance/tune that Eluveitie have recorded among other artists hope this helps

[@Jakegothicsnake]

I knew it! When I heard that tune at the end, I began to think of the song "Andro" by FAUN! :D

[@GOTDRAGONS]

YOU ARE THE HUDRY GUDSIST!! YESSS! YOU PLAY THAT GURDY YESS

[@d1v4d]

ya she is cute, that part where she does the cranking thing: 1:18 is at the begginning of the song; Fire, Flames and wisdom i believe, and then ANDRO at the end!

[@raychang8648]

Bookmarked.....this is a video I completely love. Good work!!!

[@kunalchadha9011]

you guys are amazing ....u are expertise ..ELUVEITIE should be on top in the world in terms of music ....you are GOD ...keep rocking guys

[@bobbysimpson5540]

You are a fantastic musician and one of the best Voices I've heard. Love ya!

[@RobboElRobbo]

You're so lucky to meet her dude. I've been really considering learning the hurdy gurdy but they are so expensive and I don't know where I could buy one.

[@museman007]

I knew how the band's name is pronounced since I heard the song UIS ELVETI ( I speak Spanish and the way is written in the song is how we read it in Spanish) In both versions of this song they say the name of the Band ( the album Spirit and Ven (remastered). hehehe. Love this band, I love Anna Murphy.

[@HypZoTINe]

shut up everbody!! the goddess is speaking!

[@Thez0mb13s1ay3r]

such an awesome instrament

[@Stumoiso]

Damn I want to learn to play the hurdy-gurdy

[@pissed7off]

@MultiOtherMe With a name like Anna Murphy, I wouldn't be surprised, but she has another video where she's speaking Swiss German, so I don't know...

[@crashedbananas]

@Zappy414 nope :) not really . She's playing Andro , which is an eluveitie song aswell :D

[@alfiedais1612]

Very Cool instrument!!! I want One!!!

[@project5593]

@zanychimp Actually, the Hurdy-Gurdy is a Spanish instrument, here is called "Zanfona", wich sound better

[@Tetsuo40]

try the Rose for Epona song its almost whole sang by Anna

[@DDemon6]

i talked to her after the concert in Zagreb 14.10.2010

[@Moehre01]

Oh yes it is...at least near there. But if she said the exact place, nobody would know what she is speaking about ;) The instrument is a Alpha Novello from Gotschy. But she is also playing Weichselbaumer-hurdy-gurdys nowadays.

[@DioOGzZ]

What is the music you played at the end of the video?

[@maekor_]

Sounds amazing! Keep up the good work

[@paganheide]

epic instrument \m/

[@TheNessie666]

only 3 moths before getting into the band?? thats amazing!

[@RangersGirlJackie99]

am i the only one who stop listening around 2:15 and just started jamming out with the drummer? xD

[@soslothful]

This would have been much better without the drummer banging about.

[@Hex0rcist]

she is the reason why i like this band

[@MrFaulconbridge]

I want one!!

[@tgnco1218]

@Wickmaeaeaen i think its a Moriah, not so sure about that

[@hpdre7437]

Oh, wow. An amazing coincidence. While Inis Mona is the song that got my attention, Andro is the song that kept it. Love that tune.

[@secret_kitsune]

@pissed7off I read somewhere that she's Irish, but don't know if it's true.

[@SolidGroovy3D]

Saw Eluveitie live last week, they rule, she rules! Brilliant and hot as hell too!

[@crashedbananas]

@Zappy414 yup . Really. & it's the same melody, except that Eluveitie's version is a bit faster than faun's :p

[@eloyvazquez]

Very beautiful HurdyGurdy!. I recommend you listen to "Himno Gallego (solo de zanfona) por Eloy Vázquez" played with his hurdy-gurdy.

[@LUXO2]

I love this girl,she'e so beatiful and talented...

[@Practice9Perfection]

@mauricethepatriotSUI I know it's Munich (or at least not eunuch).. I was just being silly :P

[@MisterKill666]

@chemicalguns I've seen Eluveitie live just a month ago, and she was just fine.. Think it's the sweater.

[@123nazgu]

I want to learn this instrument so bad! But I think I'd be like one out of like four in my entire county who plays it. And they are really expensive, everyone I've found is like 1200 to 2000 dollars

[@123nazgu]

No problem. Thanks for the tip though!

[@Poulmy]

Damn she was awesome in Bourges ! Amazing metal show

[@Moehre01]

They are hell expensive. Mine was 3000€; I think Anna's should be around 4000-4500 if I'm not erring.

[@Zappy414]

Isn't that a Faun song she plays at the end of the video?

[@xaether]

THAT IS SO EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheWaywardJs]

"The Hurdy Gurdist." That is AWESOME!

[@ThereAre4Lights]

yaaaaaaaay i heard meri in the background i love her so much!

[@ctmaniak]

@Treppengeist96 yeah, its Merlin.

[@GuitaristfromHell100]

I love her.

[@FrankyLeeuwerck]

Wonderful instrument, called "draailier" in Flemish.

[@domcroy]

i'm Swiss/Irish and i want to play the hurdy gurdy!! i should see if i can't go to a gig of theirs while i'm on the continent. \m/

[@Zappy414]

@crashedbananas Really? 'Cause Andro is a Faun song too, and it sounds exactly like that.

[@cameron6783]

2:14 Captions On.

[@KrezalSkog]

First time I saw her playing the hurdy gurdy i was like "FUCK!! She's only two years older than me i play that instrument O,o" Its so fucking awesome

[@Moehre01]

@fha64 Well...there probably are hurdy-gurdy builders in your country too...then its cheaper i guess...i found hurdy gurdy builder from e.g. Hungary making also nice instruments for a lot cheaper price. But the price i wrote is for the standard model..im sure she has the luxury-model for like 500 euro more. Those instruments have a lot of technical stuff inside making it expensive.watch gotschy.com ...there is a price list

[@MrDamnedpoet]

Beatiful .

[@TheXRayMovies]

wher can I buy this???

[@SankararamanKrishnamoorthi]

my thoughts exactly...!!

[@luizroberto1253]

Beautiful🥰

[@Practice9Perfection]

4:03 The guy who built it is a eunuch?.. Damn thats a rare instrument indeed :P

[@TheodoraRon]

At the end she played Andro, right?

[@MrPyroproductions]

oh my god. That is such a cool instrument, I wanna play one so bad

[@KiaraWaits]

Dear Anna Murphy, Could you PLEASE teach me how to the Hurdy-Gurdy? Because I'm absolutely crazy about this instrument. And I guess we have no Hurdy Gurdy players in my country and I'll probably be the first to play it.

[@LordWhitron666]

Whoever did the interview is a lucky bastard

[@museman007]

ask him to listen to the song.. UIS ELVETI.. both versions, they say the name of the band at the beginning!! Unless he is one of those who only know two songs from the band and tells everyone he's a super fan..

[@SaintofKillers66]

anna

[@Borjamaru]

it's in fact a spanish origin instrument, and in spain we call it zanfoña or zanfona. Just love it, haha

[@Practice9Perfection]

@zanychimp Lol, I guess though the word itelf is sound-oroginated tho, from the repetitive sound it produces..

[@Bongo_TM]

Holy! NICE!

[@d1v4d]

@Himotary ya i realised

[@ZandrielGrimm]

That looks heavy

[@SignumIgnitum]

@stenseng93 Sounds like The Somber Lay.

[@Vsko478]

She sings at Omnos :)

[@asatorMonster]

i'm in love.

[@jamesdragonforce]

I wonder how well she fairs in a group of guys, are they respectful or does she give in to their needs, if you know what I mean.

[@GoesUnpunishDeity]

Do you know when the patent pending expires, for reverse engineering of the instrument, I live over seas and would like To replicate this with permits of course?

[@WolfDeity]

jaybird echoallaround It's a medieval instrument theirs no patent.

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

She's so cool

[@CapricornBeast666]

It's sad but that is true. He thinks just because he goes to a few shows and listens to a few songs that blends with his stoner metal tunes, he thinks he's a super fan. I don't care if he thinks he's the bloody queen of England. I'm just a fan that loves the music and the flavourful culture they express. That's all. I might like other bands but Eluveitie is an awesome band that deserve to flourish like they have.

[@artoftheking1145]

I'm from America and live in America. I hate it here. I plain moving to either Finland or Japan after college with my wife and daughter who will probably be about six years old then (december 10th is when she is supposed to arrive) I love the culture of the northern European pagan nations. I like their music, I like their government, I like their art and I like their society. I myself am a Christian but don't attend church because I hate what it does and I don't make the bible my ultimate and only source. Rock on Eluveitie

[@TekedixXx]

ugh its bugging me, what is the song she plays at the end?

[@fha64]

@Moehre01 hummm, niceee.. you want become a hurdy grudy player? aaaa yeah, i agree with this price, is a very unusual instrument and appear be hard to build appropriately aaa i live in brasil, theres no possibilities of this instrument merely exists in here hehehe, the sound of hurdy grudy is so good, reminds me of castle sound tracks in movies hahahah

[@moshhammer9830]

@BloodValeOfficial Wohl eher "Drehleier" o_O

[@Daedalus4]

I guess that Holy Grail hoodie was a gift for being a guest musician in their first album along with Meri.

[@joseavila20111]

ai love you Anna

[@GuitaristfromHell100]

@Wickmaeaeaen an epic one

[@ImSorryYourUgly]

She is awesome, i want her.
