Orlaith McAuliffe

A video from the Comhaltas live series.
The tunes are Moving Cloud/Jean's Reel.
Orlaith is a VERY talented flute and whistle player from London. She has numerous All Ireland titles, and is just a lovely person to boot.
Additionally, I have the honour of being her friend :-)

Just returning to this one. I never realised how incredible she is. Amazing!

[@jcortese3300]

Holy crows, it's amazing what a skilled musician can do on an instrument with only six holes on it ...

[@Kitiwake]

I like the way you're thinking.

Excellent flute playing! I wonder if Orlaith would consider teaching at next year's O'Flaherty retreat... XD Her crans are perfect, and I like those FED triplets too.

[@orinsimpson8260]

Flute maker ? Sounds terrific 🎼

[@classicalflutist]

I want to say she plays a Hammy Hamilton.

[@darbysfarewell]

Put Tansey, Molloy,Guihen and Hanley into a pot , mix them well and what do you get...............it begins with O.

[@johnkeppel1313]

Sorry Matt Molloy fans but I prefer Orlaith's version of The Moving Cloud. There's more, fore want of a better word, flavour in the phrasing.

[@andrewlaverghetta715]

There's a totally different flavor for both of the players I've noticed over the last year and a half of trad playing. I see Orlaith's playing as incredibly measured and precise where Molloy's playing seems more explosive or unpredictable, especially with his octave jumping and his breakneck tempo building.
