  • So, this is what happened.
    The three of us came into the airport and the flight was delayed by nearly two hours.
    We could tell that everyone was a little bit unhappy about this and Geoff (the banjo player in the video) suggested that we play a bit of the Galway girl, (this song is called The Galway Girl), in a music session. He played a set of traditional irish dance tunes on the banjo and I (Daoiri Farrell) backed him on the Bouzouki. Robbie Walsh (Bodhran Player) then joined us and we had the attention of everyone in the room immediatly.
    I then proceeded to sing a song. I picked one that I thought everyone would know, The Galway Girl. It went down really well. By this stage my dad had the Canon out and here is the video footage he took. His name is Desmond Farrell and his hobby is photography.
    Myself Geoff and Robbie are music pals for years. We were in Cumbria at a music festival called "Maddy Prior's Stepping stones Folk Festival".
    My website is Daoiri.com and Robbie's is "The Bodhran Buzz" if anyone wants to check out anymore of our music.
    I've recorded two solo albums now with Robbie and various things with Geoff also:
    I Mainly play as a solo artist singing traditional songs such as these:

    On my first trip to Ireland in 1988, it was just after St. Patrick's Day. There were many Irish musicians on the plane returning home from their gigs in the US. As we got closer to Ireland, they started breaking out the instruments just like this. It was the best flight I ever had.

      "Music, tower."
      "Oh, okay."

    The magic of this scenario:
    1: The musical talent.
    2: the impromptu backup singers in the form of the 3 girls behind the singer.
    3: The old man desperately attempting to adopt stoic disapproval ultimately let down by his feet proving the music has taken over.
    4: The airport departure lounge setting, with music breaking down the barriers of interpersonal indifference uniting a group of strangers embracing the beauty of music erasing the inconvenience of a delayed flight.
    Ultimately, this video is the embodiment of perception dictating the experience of life. A lesson to us all that no matter what life throws at us we can always make the most of it and live a great life!

    After attending a play in Kilkenny, Ireland in 1998, the cast invited the audience to join them at a local pub. I was the only one who went but they all pulled out instruments and it was the most amazing night! They played and sang, and it seemed as if everyone in the pub pulled out an instrument or sang. As an American, just visiting, it was magical. Out until 4am and some of the cast walked me back to where I was staying. Will never forget it.

The people at the bar and the workers in the duty free (who had set up sampling tables) were pretty sure they meant that we were only allowed to pay for two.

      Being an elderly person myself (68), he likely wasn't "grouchy," but may have been very tired and wanting/needing the comforts of familiar surroundings. It's amazing that, as we age, certain things we used to do without flinching become very trying, even without such things as pandemics and insane riots over virtually nothing.

    The fact that even if our existence is futile, even if it all seems pointless and stupid, there are those moments where even those thoughts don't matter.

    Something about these moments reflect the very best of society. How a large room full of people who don't know each other can join together in song and find happiness in the midst of what would otherwise have been a frustrating situation. I just watched the "greatest saxophone battle of all time" on that NYC subway and felt the same way then. It reminds me that we can find common ground through one of the things that generally makes all human beings happy: MUSIC. Both that saxophone battle and this video reflect the best parts of our humanity in that way.

    I stayed in Donegal for two weeks. Went to a remote pub. Quite a few people there. I stood near a table where 3 chaps were seemingly just enjoying their pints and having a chat.
    Then one of them drew a fiddle from under the table, and started to play. Shortly after he was joined by his friends with an accordion and tin whistle of sorts.
    Within 2 minutes they were surrounded by everyone in the pub, smiling, clapping and cheering. The atmosphere was just incredible. One of the most amazing experiences of my life. I’ll never forget, until I die.

      @aimee curry American bluegrass music is a relatively new genre, only emerging in the 1950s with banjo players like earl scruggs and his 3 finger technique. It is a direct descendant of Appalachian "old time fiddle" music. Old time music is in turn a descendant of the music of Irish and Scottish fiddle music wedded with the music of slaves that were kidnapped and brought to the southern US. They brought with them the memories of the akonting, a string instrument with a skin head found in west africa. Enslaved musicians then used the materials available to them to create gourd banjos, which during the 1800s were "discovered" by white musicians and slowly morphed into modern banjos. Immigrants who then returned to Ireland brought with them tenor banjos, which became irish 4 string banjos and were incorporated into their trad music alongside the fiddles, whistles, and bodhrans. The bouzouki, which is seen in this video as well is not originally an Irish instrument, but a Greek one that was incorporated into the tunes of Irish music. Essentially most of the instruments of Ireland are not originally Irish, and certainly none of the "American" instruments are native. Ireland mostly just put new instruments into their musical tradition, but all of American music is a conglomeration of music and instruments from around the world.
