Idon,t like to be critical of other people,s views, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think the guy who is critical of this fine guitaristis a throwback to the 1940ies. When I was a lad guitars, and their brasher cousin the banjo , were unheard of in an Irsh traditional session, and rhe purists, were very unhappy, when they started filtering into our sessions. I think the fine guitarist, in this brilliiant trio, and the great wave of guitar, and banjo players, have brought a new life to, and enhanced our great music. Just sit back, and enjoy the Craic.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
To preserve our heritage our cultural activities must be accessible to people.And,to a certsin extent,if we don't permit modernity to influence us then we will probably lose almost everything .
the guitar player is great - in a class with Steve Cooney or Arty McGlynn. Yes there are some clueless guitarists about but there are crap players on every instrument. The guitar is now part of Irish trad, live with it.😃
Yeah that matches what I was able to find on The Session when looking up the sheet music for it: thesession.org/tunes/2217. Though its fair to note The Hearty Boys of Ballymote is mentioned in the "also known as" section.
+Karbon Monoxide I've also seen it called "Bill Collin's," so... I assume Dan's father is Bill? I'm guessing it's been passed down through session history like: "What's that tune?" "Huh, i dunno. I got it from Dan Collin's dad... what's his name again?..."
The guitarist is Alan Murray. No harm but if he's the worst you've heard then you clearly don't know much about trad music. He's got a respectful sense of the music, a clear knowledge of the tunes and great rhythm. It's such a sad experience seeing musicians so bitter and low of self esteem that rather than appreciating a performance they can only try to convince people that bitterness trumps knowledge
Are you asking a question here? Because the answer is no, he's not the worst you've ever heard. In fact he's one of the best guitar accompanists in traditional music.
I come back here 3 years later... and would cry again.
Do you good people realize that there are seven different parts?!? This is amazing!
I was knocked over with this music. Thank you HMT for sponsoring Cillian and Niall.
God bless all pipers !
Great foot stomping music!!!!!!! Love it!!!!
Brilliant music 👍

Music is like a flowing river it will continue evolve, flow and change, we just dip our toe for a brief time.

Top notch.
Brilliant
Super music and playing. "Cillian now tours with the group Lanasa" should be "Lunasa", of course :)
I believe the 2nd jig is actually 'Collins'..Ballymote is a minor in E as I heard deDanaan do it.

happily reminds me a recording of the gold ring from a band called Oisín
@bill Wolfe you taught me the gold ring
Bill wolfe!
☘️👍
The second tune is actually Dan Collin's Father's Jig
Learned it from a Cape Breton-er, so I don't know if the Irish know it by a different name :/
many tunes, many names

coolsage0 Totally possible
The Irish and Scottish traditions are funky that way haha
They're the same tune, just different names : )

Who's the guitarist at that gig ?? Worst I've ever heard ?
Why?
Stephen O'Connor he sounded good to me. He’s not supposed to be the lead.
