We have that problem in Canada sessions too ! It's always a sloppy,super fast race ,instead of a steady beautiful melodic,rhythmic pulse 😊. This is exactly how I like to play ! I love these guys !
These gorgeous jigs are often played quite fast in Ireland. I play whistle and banjo, and often have a hard time keeping up. Either way, Irish trad lights up my life. I love both of these jigs, and they were played beautifully and with great feeling. Thank you!
So nice listening to you, guys, letting the melody breathe. What a change from the today fast-playing sessions which make all the tunes sound alike and boring.
Wow! These players know how to pace a tune perfectly. Give the tune space to breathe! Yeah! Far too many "speed merchants" don't get this. Slower, and lilting, does the trick.
Can’t tell you how much I love your playing. I’m a very active Irish fiddler who has found a new inspiration in you. And sebastion too, magic like Hayes and Cahill.
This is one of my favorite Tunes ever and you play it beautifully. So many people have to play Irish as fast as possible and the Tunes are so beautiful they don't need to be played fast. You got it just right❤❤❤
Oooo, loving the B part, actually the whole first song. Such lovely playing, thank you and happy St. Pat's! I should add that the guitar adds a great dimension and is beautiful along with the fiddle. Thanks for inspiring me to learn the Monaghan!

I found the monaghan in a HO-Ro Ghalliedh book and it immediately reminded me of the slip jig The Butterfly. I'm sure the Kilefenora was known as The Sexy Jig? You play some lovely turns with fine timing)
I learnt to play The Monaghan Jig on the whistle about three weeks ago and, since listening to this rendition, I have done nothing but play along to your version. I have since listened to some more of your videos (+ become your subscriber) and have loved them all. However, this still remains my favourite. It is so inspiring and elevating. Also, I find it really endearing and an important part of the music how you communicate while playing. Congratulations to you both!
The Combo of Monaghan and Cilfenora is soooo nice! The Sound of the two of you is just great and you play it so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing and just keep on with doing your wonderfull Irish music Sessions!
Lovely tone of your fiddle ! I have a 260 yr old Johannes Guillami. Everyone who has played it has tried to buy it but only to stop me from torturing it :)
@@thegoodtunes I just was listening through your playlists again and this song came back up and I had to stop and replay it another time. That little E-G-B-D progression in the Monaghan Jig is done so perfectly by Sebastian - and there is just something about how well it fits between the previous and next parts. So lovely.
I love these tunes and they sound great at this pace. I know the second one as The Old Favorite. Maybe you could teach the Monaghan on your Patreon Site!
Yes that's a great idea! Kilfenora is definitely one of those tunes with many names, I guess depending on who you've learned it from / what regional tradition you're playing. There's just something great about taking the pace down a little.
Sounds great! I did'nt know the second tune under this name but then I checked on The Session and I saw at least 4 tunes called Kilfenora. I love The Orphan, McIntyre's Fancy and Sliabh Russell as slow speed jigs.
Nice playing as always! Speaking of jigs I would like to hear your version The Gold Ring (the old one) - the first tune in this set with a 9-year-old Mairead Hickey - fantastic tune. ua-cam.com/video/UZ3YJV3ZHaY/v-deo.html
Absolutely beautiful pace. We have a problem here in Ireland with musicians trying to race one another 😢
Same in England, when playing Irish tunes...

Same in France, which is boring.
The word “phrasing” comes to mind as you guys play these tunes. Very easy to listen to.
I know the second as The Old Favourite 🎶🎶
I didn't know the Monaghan Jig - wonderful tune! Thanks.
So nice listening to you, guys, letting the melody breathe. What a change from the today fast-playing sessions which make all the tunes sound alike and boring.
Just absolutely haunting and stunning playing by both of you …….loads of space for the melodies to breathe. Thank you .

masterful! I've only heard Kilfenora called The Old Favourite which is interesting! Thank you for the inspiration

Many thanks Andy, great to have you here playing along with us. Keep it up!
I love this version. Sounds very close to the one in my banjo book by Oliver Waitze! So helpful for me to hear it played so nicely.
The Combo of Monaghan and Cilfenora is soooo nice! The Sound of the two of you is just great and you play it so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing and just keep on with doing your wonderfull Irish music Sessions!
Many thanks Kath, glad to be playing these inspiring tunes.

This tune makes my day beautiful ❤️ happy, peaceful, awesome love your videos
ua-cam.com/video/Zoib5q2kDB8/v-deo.html Monaghan's jig is in it and it sounds extremely magical I love it!!!
Beautiful rendering of these three jigs.
I just started learning the whistle and bodrahn and your tunes are amazing! Please keep them coming.
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful playing!
Cheers Martin!
Wow this is a gorgeous rendition. This tempo really gave you both a chance to be wonderfully expressive.
Thanks zarthsan, yeah we love playing them at this tempo for that exact reason :)

Thought this was ‘Miss Monaghan’s jig’ & got so confused how it founded so different 😅🙈 lovely playing!
Hehe well great you found a different Monaghan instead. I wonder which family member was THE?
Amazing playing!
Lovely. :)

Nice tunes, we'll check 'em out!
Where can I find sheet music for this rendition of kilfenora
It’s not yet on our Patreon but will be in the future as part of our old release series! www.patreon.com/thegoodtune
May we have the score for this great tune? 🎉

Oooooh, so THIS is the song that plays for the the Celts in Civilization IV!
Hi, this is really lovely. Can I ask what tuning you are in please
Cheers! Standard tuning in this video. Capo on the 7th fret.
Aaww thank you so much for replying
Do you have sheet music for this?
We don't unfortunately, try thesession.org as they are a huge tune database 🎼
Superb ! Do you know the tune "The mystery inch" ? It's a modern jig that might sound very nice played by you two, just suggesting
We do! We'll stick it on the list for 2021 :)
@@thegoodtunes Nice!!!!
I wish they had a Spotify profile 😔
