Lovely stuff 👌

This tune was originally Scottish, called Cam Ye Oer Frae France, Tommy Potts created the Buttefly from it in the early 1960s. As to Keys, E dorian has the same chords as the key of D, but starts on the E and its associated chord E minor. The key of E minor has the same chords as the key of G in which case E minor is the sixth note of the scale. In E dorian, the corresponding sixth note chord would be B minor (as its is the 6th note on the D scale). As the chord pattern has Em-Bm-Em-Bm-C-D, then it has an E Dorian flavour, the Am-G-Am-G chord sequence is an A dorian version. BUT this tune, because Tommy Pots was a genius is amibguous , it wasn't built on chord patterns, The chord pattern here seems to be similar to that of the Breton jazz trad band Gwendel from the 1970s.

You wouldn't happen to know the name of the opening tune, would you? ...The first little tune before the video content actually begins?

[@theflyingsolo]

So this tune was basically stolen...smh Tommy Potts

The name of the tune is 'Hob Nobs' (named after the biscuit). My brothers Fionán and Cormac composed it. It is on Cormac's album Cormac de Barra Barcó

such a beautiful song made me almost cry

[@thtpst7827]

This is my favorite song since I was little, my goal is to learn this ...

[@soslothful]

I think it would be interesting to have a post showing the differences between various jigs: a slip jig, double, single. Could any jig be expressed in each form and be recognizable as the same tune?

[@DIATOMUZIK]

Yeah !!! Fantastic, I like your groove, your rythme and the colour that you give to your tunes, millions of stars for U (and excuse my english) , musical thoughts : Christian, from France

Very good but I can do as good

[@johndowling9379]

There are some stupid comments here claiming composition of this lovely Traditional Gaelic air. I have been playign

[@johndowling9379]

I,m sorry if I,m a little bit rude,but it riles me claim to have composed an air, which is muchmuch older than the claimees. These two guys are verv good musicians, but I have been playimg THE ,BUTTERFLY, since before they were born. It,s Not hob nobs or such a silly name, once again playing it before such stuff was ever thougt of. Possibly Scots, definitely Celtic. Borne on the air, like Port na Buca, and many other Gaelic Airs.🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐 ,

[@davidknight01]

They are talking about the introductory music to the video.

[@_peadar_]

It's not in E minor, it's modal :)

[@nedohamilli]

what do ya mean"it's not in Eminor ,it's modal" sure it's one and the same thing E natural minor /Aeolian mode pedanticism ?

[@tipptoggy]

edmund hamill See my note on modes, this is E dorian, which in Ireland is E minor with a D flavour
