The Hurricane • Calum Stewart Trio

[@pauldavies9360]

Wow! that is some bad ass piping right there! 2nd parts mind blowing 😮

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Thanks Paul! It’s a great tune… originally written for fiddle! 🎻

[@soccerchamp0511]

Love the flute, but that BASS though! Primal!!!

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Yes! Yann is a legend! 🎶 absil.one/truenorth.oyd

[@Choonzirishmusic]

As somebody who spends their life playing whistle let me say to anyone viewing this video this is unreal playing - tunes that probably aren't at all suited to flute but sounds effortless

[@foofy14]

Agreed. I'm still new to whistle but have years of backgrounds in all sorts of music and instruments and although I've picked it up relatively quickly, things like some of the fingering for jumping notes and ornaments in fast pieces are nothing to scoff at

[@CalumStewartMusic]

High praise indeed Paul and David! Many thanks and I'm glad you enjoy the music! Best wishes, Calum

[@arifrankel1860]

@@CalumStewartMusic You're incredible. Found you during a recent re-attempt at learning whistle/actual flute this time and stumbled onto you. Literally can't get enough of anything you do on pipes/flute/anything.

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Cheers@@arifrankel1860! All best wishes for your whistle playing again! Calum

[@davidcpugh8743]

Calum always creates grace notesas they aren’t written, but ought to be. Along with amazing jumps of tone. Huzzah.

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Yeah the basic tunes are sometimes written, but mostly learned by ear. Then the variations / grace notes etc, usually comes in the moment! Best wishes for now, Calum

[@Fnyar]

This guy gets it, and has it.

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Happy you like the music! Cheers 😊 Calum

[@Sakarron]

Callum, you must be, hands down, the most shocking young flutist/uilleann piper in celtic music! Your style is fresh, yet with a trad sound. Keep rocking!

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Wow, high praise indeed Carlos! We'll keep doing our best!

Tremendous

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Thanks a million! Calum

[@allanwallace3538]

There is a sense of “rawness” for lack of a better term, that your band taps into that a lot of trad projects don’t often achieve. Amazing set guys! 😁

[@javivr]

Very few people on this planet can play the wooden flute like this (chromatism, three octaves, etc). The flute world needs you Calum!

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Hey Javi, thats high praise indeed, thank you! I had fun doing my wee bit on the flute for a few years, but the flute world is in very good hands without me... There are loads of fantastic Scottish flute players around; check out Sarah Markey, Hamish Napier, Kenny Hadden, James Duncan MacKenzie, David Foley, to name but a few! Hope alls well and it would be great to have a tune together soon! Best wishes, Calum

[@javivr]

Hey Calum, nice to hear from you and hope you are doing ok during these crazy times. I guess you probably had to cancel many gigs etc. Let’s hope it’ll all finish soon. I now live in Ireland and I’d love to meet for a tune or two if you come over here at some point.

[@CalumStewartMusic]

@@javivr Sounds good! Looking forward to that. Keep safe for now :)

Next goal: go and see these amazing guys live in a concert as soon as possible!

[@d.r.9888]

I keep coming back to this outstanding performance. It reminds me I should work on that Hurricane haha, the strathspey and the first reel are mastered but that last Skinner tune is ... well I would need Calum's hands X) If anyone need the sheets I wrote it down here: thesession.org/members/95934/sets/26403

[@CalumStewartMusic]

@D.R. Fair play for the notating, thank you! Thanks also for your kind words! It was a really memorable concert with the guys, and I'm glad we've got a wee souvenir of the moment! All best wishes, Calum

[@d.r.9888]

@@CalumStewartMusic Indeed, I'd have love to be in the audience! Btw, are you planning to put Hunter's Moon on digital platforms? (since both your albums with Heikki are out of stock saddly) And also, coming in Britanny in 2 weeks, do you know if there will be some concerts/fest noz/sessions allowed or the pandemic makes it all impossible? I miss playing with people ... Cheers, Damien

[@arifrankel1860]

Damien! Thank you for all the notating you do. Almost every time I hear something awesome on youtube video stumbling and go "I wonder if someone notated this" I end up landing on your version.

Thanks Nicolás!

[@gleankeen3180]

Is that Heiki on the guitar? Calum please do more collab with Heiki. The bass guy is awesome !

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Hi Glean, thanks for your comments! It is indeed Heikki Bourgault on guitar, a fantastic musician indeed. We have taken separate paths for the moment, but I'm sure one day we'll play together again! Yann Le Bozec on the bass! Cheers, Calum

[@gleankeen3180]

@@CalumStewartMusic Thank you for the response Calum. You're the best thing that has happened to celtic music. The thing with Heikki is that he is up to speed with your music. Be it pipes or flute. Wish you all the best!

Fantastic stuff Calum, great to hear what you're up to nearly ten years on! I don't suppose you need a singer do you??!!

Anytime Jim!

AWESOME!!! :D may I ask how many years did you learn how to play on the flute?

[@jikkepk8018]

I absolutely love the first tune, does anyone know the name? The closest I've found is The Brown-Sailed Boat, but other versions I've found don't quite sound the same Edit: found it, it's Stoidhle Neill Ghobha

what kind of rhythm is that on the first tune? Is that a strathspey?

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Indeed it is!

[@bernarddurand6742]

Merci calum pour ces merveilleux moments de musique celtique. J'ai juste une petite question. Quelle différence y a t'il entre la musique traditionnelle irlandaise et écossaise ? Il y en a t'il une ? En tout cas si vous passez en Vendée faites moi signe.

[@d.r.9888]

Pour moi la différence majeure, c'est la présence de strasthpey (comme ici le premier morceau du set) qui ne se trouve que dans le répertoire écossais. Sinon il y a aussi tout ce qui tourne autour de la cornemuse écossaise qui est très spécifique.

Dear Calum, I am impressed by your work and thanks to you I have discovered the wooden flute which I am currently learning. I would like to know if it is possible to download or buy the score of "The Hurricane"?

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Many thanks for your message Ludovic! I do have scores of my own compositions yes; melody + chords (for accompaniment instruments). This particular piece however (2 traditional tunes then a James Scott Skinner tune), I havnt notated sorry! If I can be of assistance for scores of my own tunes, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Hey Calum, what kind of mic are you using? I currently use a K&K Silver Bullet but I love the low profile, fixed, look of your microphone/ pickup

[@CalumStewartMusic]

Hi TRAD, On the flute, it was a simple DPA microphone positioned close to the embouchure. On the guitar (Heikki), it was possibly a DPA also, but a different model specific to guitar. Hope that helps. Best wishes, Calum

[@BobNevins420]

What mic is on the flute?

That'll be a DPA 4060 (or 4061 depending on your reference). Cheers! Calum

Why bass man is sad always? (:(

Did they go to a morgue to fill those seats? I couldn't see any signs of life in the audience while they were playing. How do they get those dead people to clap and cheer afterwards?
