Brilliant musicians one and all. It's a terrible shame that Johnny Fitzgerald, the banjo player, is no longer with us. RIP Johnny.

[@user-ks6uh8td6r]

Great stuff

[@Deepriver100]

Hats off to the banjo player - fine old-school picking with a proper plunky tone!

[@stephenlisson1994]

Very good banjo picking. My grandad was a Brilliant!!!! banjo player. This man and this music reminds me of the great times we use to have when he would get out the banjo and play for all of us. A few of his mates, who played various instruments, would come over and we'd have quite the time. I miss him dearly.

John Fitzgerald. Rated the best Australian tenor banjo man in Irish trad music in the 1980s. I hope he is well. His father and uncle feature on chromatic accordions.

[@kevinforde2555]

Still the best

[@seamusbreen-shey]

Great session playing .. like the addition of the floor boards and the tapping feet. Great tempo.

[@kevinforde2555]

Tarbolton (Scots: Tarbowton) is a village in South Ayrshire, Scotland. It is near Failford, Mauchline and the same distance bar a few hundreds yards to Ayr and Kilmarnock. The old Fail Monastery was nearby and Robert Burns connections are strong, including the Bachelors' Club museum.

[@camperwheeler5183]

[@Kitiwake]

That's right. It's an old Scottish reel. Now firmly Irish though.

[@eileennestor9274]

Love these three reels!!!! take the floor

Paddy Fitz is still going strong & teaching at the Lake School of Music in Koroit in Jan 2022

[@patrickkelly9982]

Can you elucidate? Where is Koroit? What age is he now?

[@stuartmcdonald2974]

@@patrickkelly9982 koroit is in Victoria Australia Sw coast . Paddy is pushing 80 but still going strong. He taught me a reel called ‘Christmas Eve’ which is brilliant. He’s a great man

[@refinedbeaver8929]

great tempo, shout out to that banjo player, amazing

[@delby66]

That's Paddy Fitzgerald. His brothers, John and Joe are the men playing the button accordians.

[@delby66]

I got that wrong my friend. John is the banjo player and the other 2 play the accordians.

[@parggs7659]

[@MrLiamo29]

Lovely tempo. The Fitzgerald brothers are the real deal

[@stephenlisson1994]

They are Liam....the real deal. They're amazing. I love this music and they make it look and sound effortlessly. Me grandad use to play the banjo, quite well I might add. Him and his mates would get together practically every Friday evening and have a magnificent time. I'd be there and in awe. I loved him so much and I still miss him to this day.

[@KaliHovey]

oh the band and the music was amazing!!! that's my kind of music :) love it guys have added this to our tassi bucket list thank you

[@Kitiwake]

It's a session, not a band as such. An Irish thing, I suppose.

Paddy Fitzgerald is sadly no longer with us . A great man .

[@johnquinn6351]

What year was this? Thanks

[@catamaraner]

What a great session, and lord, how sessions are so much the same the world over! All the foot tapping is fun at the start, but while they would probably disagree, ISTM they need someone playing a bodhran so they'll have an excuse to NOT tap quite so energetically on loose boards while playing. Noticed the Sailor's Bonnet tempo creep up under those tapping feet -- now, with even a single bodhran player present, everyone could just blame him/her for any tempo creeping! That would improve the sense of community among the melody and chord players -- and without the loose board amplifying the tapping feet, Mr. O'Neill wouldn't have driven Mr. McGann to such transports of guitar and foot loathing, which would be possibly more pleasant for both of them. Problem solved... at least for the future.

[@my2cents2u]

For me, a jig isn't really a jig unless there is a bodhran involved! lol

[@my2cents2u]

+Pat - uh, no. Failed on that one. You're at least 1 century too late on the jig (1500's), and at least 2 centuries too late for the bodhran (1700s). Do your homework. :-/

[@blackbird5634]

Pass us that bottle will ya?!

[@Melvorgazh]

ps: do you have guitar players playing the medoly at your sessions sometimes? Flatpicking?

[@MrMusicguyma]

I occasionally will flatpick a tune at sessions if the tempo and overall sound don't need a guitar holding the rhythm. If the rhythm starts to fall apart, I'll revert back to chords. This gent in this clip knows the tunes well on both mando and guitar.

[@johnmcgann4520]

From Melbourne Florida USA great music and beautiful sound but would somebody please put a rubber mat under Anthony O'Neill's size 16 pounders.

[@raymonddixon7603]

The guy on banjo looks lost. He doesn't blink once. How does he do it. Did not like the change of tempo at 3.10. I think the floor boards take away from the tunes. Sorry to be so critical but I really enjoyed the tunes. Trying to learn them here in Dublin.

[@delby66]

Johnny Fitzgerald is the banjo player. He is no longer with us. He passed away awhile back. RIP Johnny you were brilliant on the banjo.

[@lsearls1]

They play great,but it looks like there playing for a wake

[@teresacasey5956]

lsearls1 Great music played at wakes too trying to bring the corpse back to life

[@johnmcgann4520]

Please remove the 3/4 inch CDX 19mm plywood from under Anthony O'Neill's size 16 pounders who is ruining great music and put the guitar where it belongs in the garbage.

[@patrickkelly9982]

Most uncharitable remark.

[@patrickkelly9982]

But, if he's at it, I suppose the mandolin could also accompany guitar to the bin.
