Noel Hill, aged 14, in his first television appearance, playing two reels on concertina. Flanked by pipers Séamus Ennis and Peter Browne. December 1972.
The great Piper Seamus Ennis watching over with glee at the playing of what would become one of the greatest traditional concertina players ever to grace this earth.
Oh, thank you for posting this! I was completely impressed by Noel Hill's playing when he was in his 20's so this is amazing to see how well-formed his style was at such a young age. And to be sitting by Seamus Ennis, and hearing him approve of the music? Wow!
Great to have old recordings
You have it from a young age a born musician...mighty
