[@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.

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

[@togedemarusiridescence7219]

This is the theme song of the final ten minutes of the last final exam of your final school year.

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@riverdonoghue9992]

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

Return as needed for your daily dose of joy.

RIP Dennis Cahill

[@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 🎻🍺

[@eggmon420]

I would have given ANYTHING to have seen this live.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@oppamaclare]

What is it about 'Other Voices'? It brings out the absolute best in performers.

[@aaronkennedy5387]

Absolute masters at the peak of their powers. This music brings tears to my eyes. The melody is truly haunting. Honestly makes me so proud to be Irish!

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.

Incredible musician.just cant get enough of Martin Hayes music

[@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 .
