Noel Hill & Aisling Hill - The Lament For Limerick & Foxhunter's | Gradam Ceoil TG4 2011

[@michaelrickard9890]

He stands up and above every note, directs it, breathes the tune, he takes its breath, an intake of breath, he plays it with his daughter who lovingly, caringly and learningly watches his each and every movement. Father and daughter in a reciprocal musical joust, l will give as much as you have taught me. The mother must heartbreakingly be proud. It cannot get better. A great and proud legacy. A treasure to protect.

I wish the people of England had the same respect for their own wonderful traditional music as the Irish still have for theirs.

[@bonenfant96]

Lucky man to have a child that play the same music he plays. Awesome.

Masterclass.

[@jarlathbyrne3146]

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks Noel. Thanks Aishling

[@tomgreene1843]

Great music very well played ....good tuning allows the instruments to sing with good playing!

[@MrBollox79]

True master at work! This song in particular has a lot of meaning for me and my Mom's family! We are still around - descendants of Exiles - My mother's family always had the tradition of descent from Exiles (especially O'Dwyers of Kilnamanagh and Maguires of Fermanagh - my Grandfather Philip O'Dwyer as descendant of both as his mother was a Maguire and crew - O'Sullivans etc - we have distant cousins with O'Sullivan ancestry from the Island of Beare and other Southern and SW parts of Ireland - I believe a Philip O'Sullivan Beare settled in Brittany as it wasn't till around and after the 1650s that the Gaelic nobility started to arrive in parts of France or so I read in the book "British and Irish Emigrants and Exiles in Europe: 1603 - 1688") and I was very happy to see it proven through DNA matching and research. Mom gets distant French cousins with Exile ancestry - good example is one with ancestors from Brittany where Exiles settled and that particular match she has - they have Macquer ancestry so Maguire or McGuire changed or pronounced in a French accent. That change of spelling happened with the O'Dwyers in service to the Irish Brigade also as I've seen it spelled odouire (pronunciation more similar to Gaelic spelling O'Duibhir - in the American census records for O'Dwyers including my ancestors I've seen the spelling De-wire and D-y-er same as Dwyer - they were spelling it phonetically I suppose depending on who was writing it down) ... or men took French nicknames and those carried on as surnames. Chevalier also seems to have been a common one - a military title that carried on as a surname. There were also O'Dwyers banging around Belgium and Mons, Hainaut (Chares O'Dwyer and daughter Maria Ann O'Dwyer) and she does in fact get a few distant Belgian cousins with ancestry from that area! According my research - they served in areas of Europe (O'Dwyers especially even in Austria and Russia) and some must have come back to Ireland (all Mom's direct ancestors in that part of her family are from Ireland and well documented) so then on to the States... so we are still around and thank you for the post... beautiful version and I'm a big fan of when Noel played with MacMahon also! Óró, sé do bheatha bhaile!

[@SherryEastwood-Falls]

Very lovely with a sad air.

[@Josnewton67906]

[@dinom8450]

Brilliant just brilliant...pulls at my heart for some reason....brought up as a kid listening to this kind of music in Scotland...thank you very much. 😢

[@seanfinucane58]

Beautifully played

[@kathynaumann8353]

Thankyou so, so much for Lament for Limerick. I packed my bags for Ireland to the Chieftains rendition of this. I weep. Keep "cookin". From you, a gift.

[@tonysimons988]

Wonderful playing.

[@nf54551]

[@gabrielkeown38]

Lovely lament, beautifully played Noel does it full justice No half measures with this incredible genius Sit up and take note one and all

Go h-aoibhinn, nach bhfuil !

[@kathynaumann8353]

Thankyou so, so much for Lament for Limerick; and from you, so special. I packed my bags for Ireland listening to the Chieftains rendition of this. Keep cooking!!

[@sentimentaloldme]

The Foxhunter's Reel from the great fiddle player from Cree..the late Patrick Kelly..Lovely playing..

[@tonymccann8853]

The foxhunters reel was on the Chieftains first L.P.🌏

[@sentimentaloldme]

Seán Keane from The Chieftains used to visit Patrick in Cree in the early 60's.Thats who he got the reel from..He has said it himself....but I think the reel may be of Scottish origin way back..Very popular at sessions.

[@SherryEastwood-Falls]

His daughter is also very gifted on the reel.

[@ritamack5731]

Great stuff~

[@TradTG4]

Yes, it's a beautiful duet and Aishling , his daughter is indeed a fine player as well !

[@tonymccann8853]

Beautiful air @ reel.🌎

[@tonyflanagan4259]

Mighty all together apple dident fall far from tree

[@tonyflanagan4259]

Not many times noel would be out done this was one time by asling great stuff

[@MrGaultier68]

Dochreidte!! Ceol on Neamh. Imreoiri den scoth!!

[@noelryan6341]

Iontach ar fad/Fantastic! Good to see they adhere to the ancient entertainment custom of 'Goltrai/Geanntrai/Suantrai' (sorrowful/lively/restful music). The Scots have a similar tune to Marbhna Luimnigh / Limerick's Lamentation called 'Lochaber No More'. Hup!

[@marymeaney3890]

Ceol den scoth🎶

[@michaelennis5090]

Let's hope Noel is planning a duets recording with Ashling It could rival his incomparable recording with Tony Linnane

[@markmakenfinlay4531]

Go h-íontach ar fad. Is ceoltóirí dochreidte iad beirt😊

[@gideonstupke2257]

Is breá liom é!

[@TradTG4]

Beirt ceoltóir den scoth !

[@MrLorenzovanmatterho]

The end of the Irish Williamite/Jacobite wars in Ireland. If only it had stopped there.

[@MrBollox79]

meant to say and remembered another good one on concertina: MÍCHEÁL Ó RAGHALLAIGH at THE 14TH GATHERING TRADITIONAL FESTIVAL KILLARNEY, IRELAND 24.02.13 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqDGpZ6lg5Vqd7M

[@michaelhanrahan5349]

Noel Hill is the benchmark, just as Joe Burke is.

[@keith3499]

Draíocht

[@TradTG4]

Go h-aoibhinn, nach bhfuil !

[@scionofliberty1159]

Might be more enjoyable if you couldn't hear the buttons clicking on that thing

[@briancrehan9757]

There are no mistakes in this. You get to Noels level and you stop. There's no level above Noel Hill, he has mastered every aspect of his instrument and inspired thousands. Rí na concertín!

[@rpsqueezer]

Scion of Liberty That instrument, a Jeffries, is about 130 years old and is considered one of the finest of Anglo concertinas. The music it produces in the hands of Noel Hill, the true master of the concertina, is a wonder to behold - clicks and all.

[@tonymccann8853]

That ain't a thing it's a concertina brilliantly executed, two smashing players @ two lovely tunes.🌏

[@colummccrudden101]

Split debate about the clicks, i personally enjoy em,

[@tonymccann8853]

@Noel Ryan I disagreed with you earlier on the subject of hand clapping, but agree IOO% with you on this subject.🌎
