Gentlemen please, you're in the West of Ireland where truth is never asked to shepherd a story. Honestly Nora, I can't tell you how many pints I had-someone else was paying for them. Or how many camera angles that crazy director "had to have!" We probably had a pint for every angle and whiskey for the really great ones! And I would have been home a week ago for your aunty's 50th, but we were still shooting... The lighting was absolutely critical, they said. Lighting!? There's more light in Siberia than we have here, for fux sake! Let's go, says the AD. So we moved the whole operation to Baykalovsk and that's where time really got away from us...
This is vintage stuff altogether !! My favourite banjo player in the whole wide world Kevin Griffin knocking sparks off a set of reels in the company of bouzouki giant Eoin O'Niell and turbo charged Quentin Cooper doing amazing things with a mandolin. Wonderful imagery and great sound too. Love it :)
Mighty music! Incredible filming, epic location, and savage playing. I like how they're giving out about someone at the start as well :) Just an epic video all around. Great job!
Brian McGrath (banjo) & Johnny Ringo McDonagh (bodhrán) - Spike Island Lasses set Dave Hanson Dave Hanson Subscribe60 Add to Share More 24,353 92 0 Published on 13 Sep 2012 Two reels from the De Danann concert at the 2012 Philadelphia Ceili Festival. The first tune is Spike Island Lasses - not sure of the name of the second tune. Brian's banjo playing is awesome as usual. As a fellow bodhrán player one of the things I've always loved about Johnny Ringo's playing is the way he often adds a harmonic/bass element to the mix. You really need to listen with some decent headphones to hear hey nice you stupid
Great music .... great playing and great tunes? Would love to know how you managed to take on and take off the banjo strap so many times without stopping playing! Better still...... drinking up the orange juice and spitting it back a few times.......and still no break in the tunes! Magicians as well as musicians! Well done
Back to listen again. Still as brilliant as last time!

Thank you. You have made my world a better place.
Amazing Play by Kevin Eoin and Quentin great reel mighty thank you
Wonderful to find this, many thanks!
Love the way the pint glass goes from quarter full, to empty and back again. and as for the cups moving around ..... Mighty tunes though ! 8-)
+Barry Teehan They are ninjas. The pint was drank and refilled, you just blinked and missed it.
@@SirSelby and the ability to remove and replace the banjo strap whilst playing at speed impressive! ;-)
So grand music ever by Eoin and Kevin and Quentin thank you

Tasty! Kevin's playing is delightfully clean and groovy. Love him!

Merry Christmas to you all!
Great ensemble playing. All in the groove together!
Mighty stuff.......love The Floating Crowbar....Hup!

Great playing from Kevin and Eoin
I have an old CD of his ceilidh bandits absolutely brilliant 👍🏼
Amazing ! and thank you from an O'Neil xxx
Kevin sometimes plays "in a weird key". He has a version of Green Mountain and Bucks Of Oranmore in E Major! One of the greats............
Great banjo player .
Brilliant music love it
Great combination cheers
Quentin is good craic.
I met him in Belgium with Eoin Ó Neill’s band 😺
Mighty music! Incredible filming, epic location, and savage playing. I like how they're giving out about someone at the start as well :) Just an epic video all around. Great job!
Brilliant!!!
In case anybody is wondering, the last tune is better known as the Donegal Traveler. They play it in a weird key, btw.
Cool, never knew, thanks!
+Donegal Danny (CaptainNicola'sMandolin) was thinking is was a bit queer, do ya know what key
Oisin O Lochlainn
I think D is standard for this reel. C or G are acceptable though, it isn't a very common tune.
Donegal Danny This a nice enough tune, and the fact thats its not a common one makes me want to learn it more... Thanks
ah what a treat!
Boys just want to have fun. Excellent.. (And you're right about Kevin and his brilliant banjo).
Have a listen to Kevin's album "Down In Doolin", you won't regret the time 👍👍
Brilliant stuff, dosen't much better than that

Hi guys! Great stuff. Good sound quality, felt like I was next to you three once again. Quentin: do you want me to post you a hairbrush? Murray
