    I was 13 when I first saw this live. This man made me idol the banjo and made me want to play it. my granda bought me my first banjo and said don't come back until I hear you play it at a family session. I'm not a musical person and far from it. I turned to my dad and said one day I'm gonna play that tune. I'm now 23 and I'm privileged to say I've mastered the banjo and played this song to my grandfather and to my dad. Barney was my first inspiration and I hope his memory will never die as a piece of him lives within me. Barney you where the man that made me pick up the instrument and I hope I'm the man to inspire others. Rip. ❤️

    I love how he just fiddles away when he starts, like he forgot how the tune went. And then all of a sudden it comes flowing out.
    The man was a magician with his instrument, what a talent.

    @paddybyrne1343 8 років тому +24

    I have been a lifelong fan of barney and have met him countless times and have played with him a few times too, he was the sole reason I took up the banjo to begin with, his technique and overall playing did start to suffer In his final years due to advancing age and failing health but in his prime no one played a meaner banjo than barney, by no means was he technically flawless but it's pretty fair to say if it wasn't for him the instrument wouldn't be as popular as it is now, he was and always will be my hero, r.i.p to a legend

    Thumbs down folks on here are morons No one ever cared if he missed the odd note now and then....... this was live performance and plus maybe he had a few pints. He played from the heart. All the Dubliners were legends that sadly we will never see again.........they were golden days back then
    Barney played the 4 string tenor banjo with a plectrum......Earl Scruggs was the master of the 5 string banjo. He used finger and thumb picks........both legends no longer with us.......RIP to 2 of the finest players ever

    No, I can´t aggree with you! Maybe it is fun and passion for those, who clap their hands, but it´s torture for those, who want to listen to this wunderful music. I´ve heard them live frequently, mostly because of Barney´s soli, but the egoistic clapping of (most of the time drunk) people always was hell for me. I love the music, the banjo, the mandolin and Barney Mc Kenna, - and I miss him! RIP, Banrey

    With the bit of a stretch in the evenings, the story of the Dubliners doing a concert down the country comes to mind.
    For some reason or other, the concert was cancelled, and the lads headed for the nearest pub around 9pm, needless to say, they drank into the early hours, and upon exiting the pub at around 5am when dawn was breaking, Barney turns to Ronnie and remarks, ''Ah Ronnie, but isn't there a great stretch in the evenings all the same!''

      @IamUncledeuce 5 років тому +2

      If you play in big auditoriums & because sound travels at so many feet per second... A lot of times the clapping to the beat will arrive back at the musician (or the microphone) a half a beat late.
      I play a pretty large Auditorium fairly frequently and I have to use in-ear monitors because audience participation (i.e. clapping to the beat) with the music always arrives late and it can throw my beat or my syncopation with the drummer off. It's the nature of the room.
      Also, down in the crowd the back section of the room claps later than the middle section or the front section of the room and so you can have two or three beats coming in slightly behind each other and the crowd doesn't notice it because where they are standing they can't hear anything but the music and the localized clapping in relation to where they are standing. This would never happen at a rock concert because the music is so loud that clapping is either not done or cannot be heard above the din.
