Mick Doherty and Rob Zielinski - Wheels of the World
Mick Doherty and Rob Zielinski play "Wheels of the World" - a version passed down the Doherty family. This was the last tune played by Mickey 'Mor' Doherty - Mick's grandfather - on his deathbed. He played a tin fiddle he had made himself, the family being known as travelling tinsmiths as well as outstanding fiddlers. Mick's famous uncle Johnny Doherty also plied this trade.
Mick now lives in Rockingham, near Perth in Western Australia. This track was recorded on a ZOOM H4N in his back shed in 2009.

The furry is behind him, class☘️
If anyone has ever seen Gene Hackman in Young Frankenstein, this guy is a ringer!😂
So smooth! I've heard these tunes played alot but he gives them a whole different feel.
Myself and my lovely da listened to Tony and Barney every week when they were touring Europe. We loved them.
All the women sittin round thinkin, I cant wait till this nonsense is over till I get a good seeing to 😆
The guitar is playing itself!
Thank you for sharing this history!
Still the best version I’ve ever heard
I was there the night Rob recorded this.
Very enjoyable but from face alone, I can't tell if he's playing a jaunty tune or watching East Enders.
Lovely interesting unique style
God rest and protect the the great people of Ireland ❤
John is the best donegal musician that ever lived. He was to donegal music what Coleman was to sligo.
My favourite instrument... great musician
At 40 seconds in you can see that his Paolo Soprani accordion is missing the fingerboard cover! The grille is also shrouded by some kind of thin screen. I wonder if this is one of Cooley's old boxes?
He was the very best we will ever hear... but I'm sure he hoped there would be fellas coming up that would be just as good if not better - if better was possible...
Up the banner
Brilliant
The best box player this country has ever produced. RIP.
You,re so right.
This is peak mcmahon beautiful stuff
Excellent,

They really looked like they were enjoying themselves in those days

So many musicians and singers got their first broadcast outings through Ciaran Mac Mathuna who sadly never moved far beyond Limerick or Clare thus depriving many others the same opportunity
2:50 tune your fiddle sir!
Gifted man. Old ways when people made time for each other and appreciated the traditions handed down from past generations.
Go raibh suaimhneas agus solas geal ort go brách a Antoin. RIP.

Wow!
That last Jig sounds suspiciously like Leather Britches. Must be a relative.
It is Leather Britches, or Lord MacDonald's Reel, as it's known in Scotland and Ireland. Widely known through MIchael Coleman's recording in the 1920s
is there a drum in that box? :)
way ahead of his time
Thanks Johnny❤️
Lovely stuff
what a time that was, when everyone could gather in the pubs, talk and laugh in the street and slap hands, and stay over and visit each other. I wish it was still like that. Travelers were welcome to stay in people's houses, and they "got lonely" when they stopped coming. Fabulous stuff.
gGád he looks even more bored than the audience
Ah, no. An intense character of a man.
@@MrColough that's a statement ...not a comment.... intense man or not and I know I've heard and seen him and disagreed with him.....but he looks bored. .. .
Great documentary w remarkable footage of Irish culture.
Hate to contradict Mairead, but I'm a rural/suburban Irish-American whose family has roots in Donegal, and what I hear in the music is not escapism, it's strength, power and drive. The drive to survive that I hear in all of Irish music, but on steroids!

This great man, Joe Cooley, Charlie Harris, Conor Keane and many others do justice for the C#D style of accordion playing!!
Bring back the Derry/Killybegs Train
The playing is class but I'm being struck by the way that these old fellas have of telling a story. Beautiful sentence structure!
Bravo
