Playing Bluegrass in Ireland | Petersens Europe '24

[@PetersenVlogs]

Hello everyone! This is Julianne :) I just wanted to give a heartfelt thanks to all of you who have followed along on our 2024 Europe journey. This has been such a fun project to put together, and Aaron and I are excited to use what we've learned to release our US 2024 Christmas tour as the next "tour segment" on this channel. If you have enjoyed these vlogs and want to go a bit further, I will be releasing extended versions with full songs and more raw editing exclusively on Patreon. And some of you mentioned putting all of these together as one full video, and I'm excited to share that a full version of this tour will be released Nov 27th!

[@deludedreality89]

Looking forward to the long video. Excellent work on these Julianne and Aaron!

Great job, I loved the interaction with the audience singing

[@PetersenVlogs]

Me too! That had to be my favorite part of that night :) so special

[@lausimeyer6558]

Your music is getting even better, when you're playing in churches like this in Cork or last year in Cologne. This concert was special. Thank you so much for the stunning performance of all of you, who made this amazing European tour possible.

[@PetersenVlogs]

That is so encouraging! Thank you for watching and being so supportive :)

Always great music and just real time on the road, thanks as always for sharing, I hope one day to also see a live show and feel a part of the fun and magic. Stay well, stay enthused and keep enjoying life.

Thank you! Such kind words. We would love to have you join in the fun someday!

[@janok659]

Thanks Julianne & Aaron,I like your vlogs and I still having fun with Aaron's comment in France-"Favorite parts of any Petersen's warm-up time is the fact that all play different songs together"😊

[@PetersenVlogs]

Hahahaha it is so true! It always sounds crazy before a soundcheck

[@deludedreality89]

The Ukeujayjay segments have been hilarious in these. I hope we get to see Jason more in future videos! Thanks for taking us along on the awesome trip!

[@PetersenVlogs]

I’m SO glad you enjoy them! I was a little worried I was just giving myself a laugh at times, but had so much fun I kept doing it. And we love Jason!

I really love how personable your family is, I really hope that you never stop doing vlogs and youtube videos for your fans! You've definitely made a life-long fan out of me with you personal touch through your videos and music! I am also originally from the Ozarks so I already have that in common with ya'll. God Bless you on your travels and I will be seeing you in Branson soon!

[@PetersenVlogs]

Thank you so much! We have so much fun together, and of course, love the Ozarks. :)

[@weefek]

Julianne! Your voice gets better as time goes on. Just from glimpses of this. Even as a teenager (specifically the "on my mind" video is what im remembering, but many others prove it since that time) it was quite wonderful. Matt you're voice is also incredible. It goes without saying Katie's voice is amazing has always been the same, same with Ellen. I love your whole family you've brought me such great joy. Thank you all for doing what you do. I'm not quite sure that you know / understand the impact you have on some people. Thank you so much.

[@weefek]

That is to say I know you were nervous / didn't think your voice was good at first (I forget where I learned that). You have one of the best female singing voices I've ever heard.

[@Roberto-pd8vn]

Another really professional vlog! A special shout-out to Aaron! And what a location, what fantastic acoustics. Your music shines in places like this. I think the most emotional moment was when you performed Wild Mountain Thyme, in Ireland in front of an Irish audience that sang along with you! I felt the same emotions just watching the video! I also saw that there were some of my compatriots in the audience at the end of the concert, Woww!! As always, thank you Julz!!

[@PetersenVlogs]

I was thinking of you when they said hello! One day we just have got to make it over to Italy. Thanks Roberto for everything yo contribute to this channel! Really appreciate you!

Very nice in Ireland! In 1989 my wife and myself stayed also in Ireland for about 3 weeks on a camping holiday trip with car an a small tent. We were also in Cork and Blarney Castle and Park to kiss the stone and visited also many other castles. I am fan of your music and perhaps I go to your next concert in Cologne/Germany. Greetings from South Germany!

[@bubzilla6137]

What an exciting tour! You got to see so many new places, meet lots of amazing people, or at least people (the ones in your vlogs seemed amazing at least 🙂), even had time to sightsee. And I'm so grateful you have shared so much of it with us! Much appreciated, thank you. I love when a whole bunch of musicians who don't normally play together, and especially when they don't even know each other, get together to play! My goodness that sounded awesome! I've enjoyed all these vlogs but that scene alone makes this one my favorite. You've done it before but I don't recall this many people at once. Absolutely glorious! It was so cool seeing the old castle and the beautiful landscape. I think the highlight though is little Macy leading her first Conga line! Haha! That's so adorable! Nice to see she's already walking too, even if only with assistance. She'll be walking herself in no time, might already be since this vlog is actually from a few months ago. I'm not sure how old she is but my granddaughter, who will be 4 in January, started walking a little past a year old I think. I was there for her first solo steps but I've been there for so many firsts I don't remember all the dates and exact ages, plus my memory isn't great to begin with. I highly advise you enjoy every moment possible with her because the time goes fast! Seems like just last week I was bottle feeding, now she's running circles around me and forcing me to save her life constantly. Well, maybe not every save is saving her life but a few definitely had the potential. She loves to climb and jump off things. Also a huge fan of trust falls. I probably shouldn't have introduced her to those so young but what's done is done. Haha! Anyway, the point is cherish every moment, good and bad, easy and difficult. Finally, I'm looking forward to November 27th! I believe that's the date I saw. This whole tour will be a movie basically. That's awesome! Congratulations on a successful tour. Can't wait to see the next one! 🙂💙

[@DanPurdy1]

Good to see you back in Ireland, which you do seem to like. That being Ireland and those stained glass windows, that must be a Catholic Church. Another beautiful Church.

[@Dreyno]

It’s been deconsecrated for about 20 years now but it was a Church of Ireland church (Anglican). Smaller Anglican churches often have plainer windows than Catholic Churches but stained glass is very common in bigger Anglican churches and Cathedrals.

[@kinmapper8783]

Enjoy seeing your little vignettes during your travels and any music shorts you might share with us. Keep them coming for months, years and decades more. Ireland is a land that greatly interests me (along with NI as shown below). Eire is the home of the purported origin of the original version of my family's surname as a sept of the clan mac Uidhr now more commonly macGuire or even Maguire (as our line was that of a younger son of a major clan leader Donn Mor mac Guire) and so denominated. Wish I had the time and the money to make it back to county Fermanagh, NI whence we originated (purportedly).

[@rickolson-51]

Would have been fun to see you show up at a few pubs unannounced and jam...

[@gpenrod5221]

I enjoy your music and follow you guys a lot. It is my understanding that as I have read through the histories around, that Bluegrass music was actually heavily influenced from Irish culture. The Irish folks who settled in the Smokey Mountains here in America loved their music and it blossomed to become Bluegrass music, made up from a lot of their song styles and culture from Ireland. But being the sharp family yall are in music smarts, I'm pretty sure yall knew that already. It took me a while to finally figure that out.

[@Special_Operations_814]

This is a special message to the one with the funny old Irish moniker "missy or baby" the song by the 80's rock band the CARS with their song "Just what I needed".

Katie arrives in Ireland and the first thing on her mind is - of course - coffee. Irish coffee ... On my dad's last birthday, he had 3 after dinner Irish coffees and we had to stop him from dancing on the table. An idea maybe for Katie's birthday tomorrow? :))

[@johnsheehan9318]

Blessings!

[@andyclark3530]

I'll go weird early tonight. Why did Julz use judo on Ellen, but not when fending off Matt. That was a truly heroic stance on her part, an act worthy of chivalric honor, particularly for a girl who apparently uses the occasional sippy cup. I'm jealous of the Irish, who have great music even in their airports. Can you imagine what it would have been like to have just wndered into that pub and found THAT jam afoot? Ellen apparently runs through town carrying Macy, which was a great warm up for Macy leading the pretty girl congo. This was one show where they had them leaping out of the pews! And the show itself appeared to be out of this world in multiple ways. Some of that was a stretch. I want to say how great these vlogs are. They show what great sports you are, and for the close watcher, that you are really quite rugged. Love the intro! I feel like the girls deserve flowers every show, though I get the feeling you might prefer coffee and chocolate... If you were having sound trouble, that was a remarkable performance. Matt has a great voice for "Wild Mountain Thyme," and the audience was great too. Julianne, thanks for putting these together. It's made my weeks spending this time with you, and I'm sure I'll go back to them. They make what I'm certain was a LOT of work, look like fun. Bless the Petersens and everyone that makes them possible.

[@PetersenVlogs]

Thank you so much Andy! You had me QUITE baffled at the sippy cup segment until I remembered Katie’s transgressions against me hahaha

I could be wrong but I believe the Irish also have roots in blue grass.

[@Dreyno]

The other way around. Irish music is part of the roots of bluegrass music. Irish, Scottish and Scots Irish settlers brought music with them which eventually morphed into bluegrass.

when mum said she hoped she wasn't eating in every video because that would be embarrassing, that was weird? Why would eating be embarrassing? (Well of course if she ripped everything apart with her hands and threw it up in the air and tried to catch it in her mouth and missed, missing would be embarrassing a bit.) But to make it more hilarious, the KZbin auto-generated captioning had her saying that she hoped she wasn't cheating in every video. Come on, play with the rules! Who cheats at monopoly anyway?
