The Gloaming - The Sailor's Bonnet | Other Voices

Something very special about our little country.

Its known as culture.

[@hughchal]

RIP Dennis. I had the privilege of working with The Gloaming a couple of times and they're all extraordinary artists, mind blowing.

[@n8opot8o1981]

Im not a religious man, but if I were ever to come close it would be listening to this music. Its gotten me through breakups, trials and tribulations, it moves me so much I dont think I can listen without crying. This is what music is meant to do, truly put oneself into a different place. I cant explain it. Its like taking LSD. My mind is transported.

[@dermur68]

Very well said. It resonates with every strand of DNA in my body. No choice but to let it consume you entirely.

[@amduck]

Perhaps he is the greatest fiddle player Ireland has ever produced. What a time to be alive!

[@cormac8181]

Sad to hear of the death of Denis Cahill, gifted musician departed this world too soon.

[@ArundoTrad]

The Irish Times says it best, " we'll surely talk of having seen this man the way others talk of Miles Davis or Jim Hendrix or John Coltrane". Mind blowing player.

[@riverdonoghue9992]

Don't fight it. Just let the music take you to the most beautiful place in the galaxy.

[@williamkenny4193]

Rip Denis, one of my favorite guitarists. Nothing flash about what he does but plays perfect accompaniment to let others shine around him. A true musician

[@hughchal]

Dennis was nothing short of genius - it's almost as if what he didn't play was more important. There was a quote form The Police decades ago about leaving "holes" in their music, Dennis was that, sparing, brilliant.

[@sundayoliver3147]

And pretty amazing when let loose as a soloist, too. He listens in such a refined way, makes him incredible both in the background and foreground.

[@kieransheedy2394]

Both sides of Martin's family are deeply steeped in music, back through the generations. He acknowledes , celebrates and elevates his ancestry and heritage, in his craft, his mastery, and his exciting experimentation on the extreme outer edges of a tradition fated to fade without his vital contribution.

[@n0madc0re]

I'm on my 10th loop. There's a fireplace in my head.

[@onecoldnightinwinter]

I saw them tonight in the Union Chapel for the first time. Known them for a while.They didn't play this one. Gutted and yet still elated.

[@aaronkennedy5387]

You hit the nail on head. Grateful everyday for being born on our beautiful island. Such a creative nation

[@pslatts1796]

100th+ listen and the hairs are still standing on the back of my neck.. some of the best musicianship I'll ever come to know

The tone at the start is so beautiful, it matches anything I've heard in my lifetime.

Return as needed for your daily dose of joy.

[@dermotlavelle9994]

Superb group The Gloaming - bring new meaning to Irish trad. Martin Hayes is incredible and how he doesn't get that bow stuck in his hair is even more incredible!!

[@joangranger6558]

Glorious, a true favorite of this US Navy Vet and music addict who loves the sea passionately. ❤

[@RobEmeny]

The rest of us don’t feel the need to share our former job. The US navy has killed thousands of innocent people, it’s nothing to be proud of. Fucking yanks 😂

lucky people ...just we are very lucky to be on the planet the same time as Martin and friends ..bliss

[@ramywiles]

Got lucky enough to have a class with Martin Hayes a few years ago... "practice and the technique will come" was what he told us. Simple advice, but it's funny sometimes how profound even the simplest reminders can be. Sometimes you need someone else to tell you that it's ok to let go of your fear of not being perfect and just DO things. I haven't forgotten it, and in fact it's advice that has enabled me to prepare to pursue a performance degree after taking an emotionally difficult break from playing for a few years. Truly a fantastic musician (as if that wasn't blatantly obvious already).

[@julesviolin]

I've drunk Whisky with him and Dennis at Inish Beg Fiddlefair in Baltimore in 2018. Magical player indeed 🎻🍺

At 9:25 when everything just drops and it reverts back...... that is everything to me.

[@n8opot8o1981]

I wish I could meet these amazing musicians and express my gratitude for what they have brought to my life. I cant express how much these songs have helped me through hard times. Im a musician myself and I am so jealous of the talent exhibited in these videos.

[@benjaminlquinlan8702]

It's literally the Irish Spirit - the craic - in music form. It has everything our entire Irish existence in 10 mins. When that good criac motif kicks back in it is utterly undeniable. I cry ever single time.

[@jimgoodinmusic]

soooo agree!

I can’t imagine what the violinist is feeling himself. All the sound vibrations are passing directly through his whole body. Pure love ❤️

This is GOLD!! As the music progressed, I was tapping my feet, lost in abandon. Opened my eyes to see that the band members were tapping their feet as well. It shows how much they were enjoying their own music, and I felt the joy they gain and give away through their music :)

Eleanor Ryan If it's classical music, it's a violin. If it's Irish traditional, its a fiddle.

[@darbyogill6006]

some of you asked what tunes he is playing here and those who gave names are off the wall. E.g. Tripping up the stairs --The Irish washerwoman --- Tarbolton --Toss the feathers are all incorrect..He starts with a slow Sailors Bonnet and then speeds it up. second last tune is The Congress reel and last is Sailors bonnet in a different key .
