I really would love to make it back to Ireland someday before I die. I have such fond memories of the music and the people there. One of the greatest trips of my life.
Barney was a one-off. They broke the mould when they made him. The colour, the ornamentation, the tastefulness... No banjo player in Ireland comes close to him, even to this day.
@@waynerainsford2825 Gerry is probably the best amongst the living players of Ireland. But Barney had something else. I've listened to his recordings for 40-years and he's still my "go to" for inspiration. People will differ, I'm sure 😉
@@waynerainsford2825 ua-cam.com/video/xUWjRBnVQUc/v-deo.htmlsi=w87kwgSBXumDVk5R Do take a moment to hear Barney's brother. You'll be glad you did. Lovely bit of banjo playing.
Barney was once asked to sing a song. He politely declined saying he had a voice like a corncrake. Ive only two notes in me head he declared and one of them is flat. 🎵
Very nice and interesting, video, good atmosphere. Hard to believe the hairdo was hip at those times, but I remember it as beeing normal among the youth, me included. Wonder where CR gets all that video stuff from, splendig word. Greetings from D
I had to pause and replay. Thought it was a swimming hat! This goes far beyond a mere egg in the nest. This is a paradigm shift in the way that we've previously conceptualised this method of hair management.
At first glance, I was going to say it was a combination of male pattern baldness and mad Irish hair. On second glance, it appears that his hair has been shaved in a tonsure-like fashion. Could it be because he's a practicing monk? Maybe. Could it be that he got drunk the night before and his mates thought it would be funny to shave his head like that? Possible also. For all I know, there's a tradition at that festival that one man must shave his head in a ridiculous way. One thing's for sure, he shows no apparent signs of self-consciousness about it.

Not entirely 'to get a rise' -is this expression still around but 2 great places, 2 towns esteemed global for trad are absolute dumps, Miltown Malbay, Ennis, absolute dumps. At least it's a short walk from MM to Spanish Point.
The money i would pay to hear music like this played publicly in Ireland this day in age (2021)
We have been laid waste once again, but this time by our own, we will not endure this time around.
Wow, Barney. He played the banjo, the accordion, he could sing, he danced, he had one of history's great beards. What a man!
But did he have a sleeping bag 😂😂
But can he win the Open?
It’s mad. Ireland has such a great history of great music
Aye
And a couple of days ago, I saw him playing a violin or fiddle in an early vid
A tradition that should never ever die for sure.

Please do my friend we welcome you back home
The good old days in our beautiful little country😢
The look of pure joy on Tony MacMahon's face at 01:45 is something to see!
Wow Ennis looks the exact same 43 years later.
Dear Barney is unforgetten, Godfather of Banjo, Mandilin and Sqeezebox. He was such a lovely one, we all loved him so much.
The Ireland I miss
Great to see Micko Russell
I remember summers in Longwood, Meath watching Barney play at my auntie's garden.
You'll never beat the Irish 🇮🇪☘️💚
Wow! 45 years later & still amazing: )
Those were the days my friend
Woowww,,,Barney,,,Tony,,,,,all those nice folks...❤️🍀

Gerry o Conner is definitely no doubt up there with him if not past him even ..

This pure gold. Thanks for sharing!
Dad and myself watched Tony and Barney on the European tour a long time ago. We loved them ❤
I think I've watched this film, a million times now

@@SonysDream I think I posted this comment on the wrong video
Had seen clips of the first half before -- great to see it all, thanks
Love it. 🙌🏼🙏🏼💚 Bring it back 🤠🥳👌🏼

Thank you for that! I did enjoy a good laugh! Wonderful!!
@@heardashot as we say here in Ireland " Barney was himself " ☘
Thanks that just gave me a big smile, best of luck to ya

*P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S!!!* 🎶💪☘️🇮🇪💚🎶
Love barny . The timing is his own
Days like that over forever Groucho seriously serious people
Clare and Galway my favourite counties Ireland.
Two GREATS
Top class. Thank you for uploading! =]
Those triplets are razor sharp

No comma after "interesting" and "splendid" not splendig, sorry.
No apology needed!
Brilliant a tradition thats gone
Excellent, thanks.
Really appreciate all the marvelous content you upload.
The best , none better anywhere.
To of the Irelands very Best I miss them dearly 😊
So good man !
Fair play👍
My Barney xxx
This music is very nice!!!
Not a crowd barrier, safety rep, portaloo, rattle chipper generator or high viz clad guard in sight. Irelands best years mid 70s to mid 90s.
"Irelands best years mid 70s to mid 90s."
Ahh yeah, the aul' Troubles.
@@Mcmotherfuckingrory yip.........that's what you get when lands are occupied
Clare is the best music county.
Crottys Bar in Kilrush had some great turns.

Was it a hair growing weekend festival. Hair, Hair, everywhere.
1:04 that egg in the nest is the finest I've seen
Is it a cap?
@@steatipygous dunno but it's quite superb
😂😂😂

@@musashidanmcgrath 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Proper Ireland ❤
Barney RiP
And Grand Bonnie music it is
Sitting on the height 😁😁
Up the town,up the TURNPIKE
Does anyone know if this is from a particular documentary? Would love to watch the entire thing.
I've enough Irish blood to make me twitch, to say the least .
♡ ♡ ♡
Hon the town!!
❤️❤️❤️
The Celtic Tiger and it's downfall and the opening up of Eastern in 2004 have destroyed the uniqueness of Ireland.... it's all gone.
Really eh? That's sad. Something similar is happening in my part of the world also.
Nonsense. This is still here for those who want it.
Anyone know what reel Barney is playing? It sounds similar to the Congress reel but it sounds different also. Could just be some improv?
The first tune is Farewell to Ireland the second is The Congress
I will, Tony, I will. There isn't any 'yes' or 'no' in Gaelic.
Ronan O'Gara at 0.27....
1:20 Barney looking look a banjo zen master.
When ireland was irish
Ireland was always irish
What sort of a comment was that
@@markcoen5282ireland no longer white
Stupid comment

this is awesome but what's the deal with the dudes hair on the right at 1:07

‘This is Exactly why each nation should maintain it’s pedigree, and not be contrived to change.....
Once you add a Bollywood mix to this traditional music of Ireland, your finished.
And over time, you will end up with the Crescent Moon centre place on the Tricolour.....
Keep takin' the tablets.
It must be in the blood the Irish are just better musicians!
What are the tunes?
First one is called 'Farewell to Ireland'.
your man holding a bodhran at 1:04 has a tonsure
Sad people have to be taught of their very own culture. It should be born into em
Brits out of our 6 counties
agus conas a athraíodh rudaí ní chun feabhais..
Ahh. Back when young people thought smoking was cool..... how’s the lungs now?
Apple App, such a silly comment, grow up
Back then it was a free country we did not have some expert doing our thinking for us.
Fine thanks. 20yrs smoking like a bastard in the infantry. Still running.
Still smoking strong and long the pipe cheers after 15 years. No so called expert needed to make me path of life

Barnie couldn't really play
So many bad haircuts. Wat was going on was it covid
No, that was a time before gobshytes like you were born...
Pure magic
