this is a great example that you dont need to play celtic music fast as hell. Just slow down and feel the pulse :)

[@jmccaintx]

Fabulous playing - and respect to the audio engineers - sublime sound!

[@resipsaloquitur13]

The sound quality is magnificent

[@drychaf]

Beautiful. Two seriously creative people who are making great contributions to Scottish music.

[@egonolsen8979]

These two musicians totally drift off into their own world and take us with them. Wonderful!

[@patrickbodenham6879]

how has this only been seen by 1k people? this girl channels something

[@auraenguskenchington7930]

indeed!

[@Somerset-In-The-Blood]

Great to watch seen Aidan with Lau & got their albums but not heard of her before...

[@charlesward8196]

C’mon people, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! It helps the UA-cam algorithm, and the video will then show up in more people’s suggested play list, the artists get wider attention, and may rise to a level of viewership that starts to earn them some money. LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!

10k now. I love her music / playing. She has a couple of albums out now (and a lovely collaboration with a Bulgarian piper -- see on Bandcamp)

[@ninerar1]

I was on her concert in Prague last year. There was only 20 people, but all of us absolutely interested. It wasn't too bad.

[@ManWatchingtheStars]

Wow, this is such exceptional work.. the playing, the camera work, the environment, the audio engineering!! Fantastic!!

[@resipsaloquitur13]

I co-sign with the amazing sound quality here. Its very well finished. The whole production here is 100% top notch.

[@RosssRoyce]

The microphones too have drones 😀 Beautiful music!

[@jeanmarclesieur3]

Je vous écoute tous les jours, votre musique ouvre l'esprit et provoque de très belles images. Merci pour ce moment de grâce !!!

[@renniepearson9801]

Top class on so many levels

[@laurel43cwcw]

Absolutely beautiful playing from both of you!

[@erikm8372]

So interesting, the musical connections between Ireland & Scotland; the very first tune is structured a lot like the Irish reel “The Hut in the Bog” which is a G minor tune in Ireland. I am specifically thinking of the version recorded by Liz & Yvonne Kane, from Connemara, on their album “Under the Diamond”; unless it’s from “The Well Tempered Bow”, their debut album.. This Scottish tune sounds more major & not as dark, but it has the same structure & certain phrases stand out as an influence, one way or the other.

[@Somerset-In-The-Blood]

WoW and what a window and view...

[@MAMDAVEM]

great pairing, transported to Skye, such a beautiful Island

[@johnmorgan5495]

Beautiful, 3rd tune really got to me

[@jackwilloughby239]

It's interesting that Beethoven, Mendelsohn and Schuman all wrote music based on these Scottish Airs, usually for Piano, Violin, Cello, Tenor and Soprano. Even though I play Fiddle, I'd love to hear a Cello in the mix.

[@society_for_praising_appli6261]

Thank you for this beautiful music!

[@mjw12345]

This is really lovely - only became aware of Brigade recently, saw a couple of interviews she's done, charming lady and wonderful artist. Like the beautiful, brilliant Julie Fowlis I think she also speaks Irish so I am a bit prejudiced!

[@Onlygloo]

Great! The set list anybody, please?

[@TradTV]

Incredible!

[@diegocalvorodriguez]

emocionante hasta las lágrimas. Que genialidad.

[@davidsoutar6898]

[@salvatoredambrosio2236]

Wonderful !!!

[@mamumonkan]

at 7:30min the sun is coming through the clouds of doubt and despair :)

[@markedjohnson]

Is as Ceanada me, agus iompraionn on ceol seo go dti mo fhreamhacha me. Go raibh maith agat.

[@eves_disrhythms]

Im really interested in the 'double-drone' that she uses - does anyone know what this actually is? Is it a modified drone or two certain kind of drones...

[@jackwilloughby239]

On my piano it sounds like Bb and Eb in the bass, the interval of a 4th with Bb on the bottom, Eb on top, like the minor 7th and Minor 3rd of a Cm7th an Octave below middle C, then a C minor Pentatonic melody on Top. These Instruments are so Rich in Harmonics though, that the lower harmonics are mostly felt than heard: there are really an Octave of Eb below the Bb. That's from the Harmonic Series and what my measly ears can hear. The Major sounding tune at 19:07 is cranked up almost to a C & F in the Base like "Coming thru the Rye". So she must have a way to shorten the drones.

[@claire8391]

Anyone know the last tune they play starting around 18:28?

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

I think it’s on her album. “The reeling”

[@SBcontraband]

Anyone knows the tune that starts at 7:30?

[@orpheansprig]

The Skylark's Ascension :)

[@SBcontraband]

@@orpheansprigthank you very much!!!

[@kevinrowe1101]

Is that a violin (fiddle) or a viola

[@kesali77]

I'd say it's an octave fiddle :)
