I'm not even Irish but I just love the energy in the music so much, I've been getting into a lot of Irish and Celtic music lately and it brings me so much joy ☘️💚
Bayliss is an English surname. So if he was in Ireland he or his ancestors must have moved from England for some reason. Maybe as part of the settlement which began late 17th century. Most early Irish emigrants to the US were protestants, i.e. loyal to the crown, or UK as it is today. (as are the Unionists of Northern Ireland).
Thats a foolish comment because obviously I didn't. Anyway perhaps you didn't understand my point so let me explain. What I am pointing out are all these people claiming Irish heritage with Anglo Saxon surnames. A historian explained to me that it is a fashion that originated after the War of Independence when people tried to disassociate with Britain and therefore claimed any link to Irish ancestry however tenuous. So if one of their 12 grandparents or great grandparents were Irish and the rest English they would claim to be of Irish descent. Bayliss is Anglo Saxon not Gaelic. But English and Scottish people from the plantations were actually the first to leave Ireland because of tensions. In fact the first wave of "Irish" to move to the US did so predfominantly because of fighting with the original and Catholic Irish. The same battle that continued with the Unionists and IRA until very recently. Of course Ulster plantation was started by two Scottish landowners supported by a Scottish king on the throne of Britain, James 1st 4th, and 90% of the people who took the land in Ireland were lowland Scots loyal to to the crown not Ireland. Hence we have Northern Ireland and many of their descendents are still fiercely loyal to Britain. A lot of "Irish" Americans blindly support a united Ireland but in fact a large percentage would be from Unionist families who want to stay in Britain. Therefore my point is the antithesis of claiming Irish culture it is actually to let people question their roots rather than just accept one snippet of infornation to claim some culture as their own.
1) Road to Glountane / Kerry Fling 2) Rannie MacLellan's Reel 3) The Foxhunter's Reel I believe he is playing a Slingerland May Bell Queen tenor banjo. I just bought one and love it.

In fact, Appalachian music dates back much further, the five-string banjo existed long before the tenor banjo, which was brought to Ireland and popularized there in the first quarter of the 20th century, even tenor banjo was popular earlier in the USA, in New Orleans jazz, this Ireland music is relatively new.
Hi. Yes, it is Seph Peters playing banjo and guitar as a member of the Celtic Umbrella group. He's one of the best alright! It was a great concert and I am very happy to have been able to record, edit and upload this series of tunes from a single concert. Maybe more next year! Stay tuned...
I'm a proud Irishman, and inhereted a passion our music and our song from our ridiculously musical family ❤ We have chart topping drummers and guitarists, Royal Jazz orchestra bassists and trumpeters, fiddle players, bodhran players, pianists, sound engineers, the whole stable, and I absolutely love it!!! our Clan dances were never quiet, and Mammy has 62 first cousins!!! all of them play an instrument, and are encouraged to join in the music making whenever we gather...❤❤❤ This is how we socialise in the mountains and I'm so proud to see it exported to America. I'm told there are still places along the appalachian hills and Eastern coast of Canada where Irish accents are still the primary accents, despite most of the people there never having seen Ireland! that warms my heart no end. ❤
Actually i can't at the beginning but my eyes shut when listen to the rhythm the melody the harmony and those finally make me smile at the end. And starting all over again :-)
Thanks for this professional video of beautiful music, a great set, it builds and rocks out! Well done musicians and aradia pictures. I want to hear it again and again!
@taurotar title of video: "Celtic Umbrella" concert, Chester Playhouse, Nova Scotia, June 2011. Celtic umbrella --> Celtic music The Irish, the Scots (both lowland and highland) and the Scot-Irish (aka: "Ulster Irish) are Celts. The music is similar ( as is much of the English and Welsh folk music created before the invention of the railroads in Great Britain). What is now England (including Cornwall), Wales and eastern Scotland was inhabited by Celtic tribes that spoke the Brythonic (branch of) the Celtish language (as do the people in Brittany France -- Only remaining area of France to still speak this language) The Irish in Ireland and in the borders of western Scotland (on both sides of the Irish Sea) spoke and still speak the "Q" branch of the Celtic language -- The Celtic people native to northern Portugal and Spain also spoke this language
This type of music on the rise very fast in Norfolk England. The rural places especially in the north with traditional Norfolk cider and ale washed down from the Iceni brewery
The region I am from in the very West of Germany has Celtic origins. The celts left a lot of villages and cities names here ("-apha" e. g. means "water"), and several red haired persons. ;) Even the clothing style of checkered shirts (and bagpipes, kilts and so on) is old and has roots in the Germanic and Celtic tribes, settling in Europe 2,000 years ago. Great music and two kind musicians! :)
What do you get when you mix the African banjo, the Irish fiddle, the Spanish guitar and the French mandolin; pour in a hefty jug of corn whisky and simmer it in mountain sunshine of Appalachia? Bluegrass.
I originally removed Seph's name from the credits at his request- he was not completely happy with his performance that night. Any assumption that his name was simply "left out" is incorrect.
As a musician, I am well aware that the odd fluffed note, which might not diminish the listener's enjoyment - or even be noticed at all - can feel to us as if it has ruined the whole performance. Now, my own playing, even on my bestest of best days, does not come anywhere close to the calibre of these three and I agree that the banjo playing is superb. But his idea of what is an acceptable standard is with reference to the best *he* is capable of and I completely understand why he does not want a substandard example of his playing to be the first thing that pops up when his name is typed into UA-cam. Whether it is a matter of pride or professionalism is another question - and perhaps the fear that it might negatively affect his credibility is a psychological flaw that needs to be overcome. But that is his own business.
Aw yes the origins of country and bluegrass music in America. Another special gift of the Scots-Irish, in a long line of great gifts and contributions from the Auld country! #Eire.
@@emiliocarver2061 actually nobody knows what the banjo comes from, with theories stretching from west african instruments to the portuguese banza, but the modern banjo first appeared in the caribbean
@@emiliocarver2061 true enough, if you want to go that far back. Unbelievably, to "white supremacists" even humanity itself came from Africa. So, if you think about it long enough, you will see the absurdity of the white supremacist's mind set. Music and musical instruments have evolved just like races, but we are all just humans -- born to live so long, then we go from the face of the Earth.
@@robertshorthill4153 Im not going that far back, like just a couple hundred years ago during the transatlantic slave trade, African musical styles heavily influence tons of American styles
Such a melting pot of styles, often borne of conflict and subjugation. The tunes come largely from Ireland and Scotland. There has been much migration to and from the UK and Ireland for work, trade and because of colonialism - people still dispute whether certain melodies are Irish or Scottish in origin. Not that it matters - the tunes belong to us all. I always thought the banjo originated in Africa, but I haven't researched it. Certainly there is an influence on American styles of music resulting from the slave trade. With regard to American styles of fiddle playing, it's hard to escape the notion that frequent double-stopping and open string playing could have Nordic influences, although the Kerry style of 'singing' fiddle is similar.
Yes..4 string banjo is now a mainstream Irish trad. musical instrument. Introduced by the late great Barney Mc Kenna and others in the 60s. The American banjo, as you know, is 5 string.
Tom Savannah -- it's called a tenor banjo. Usually tuned to E A D G, high to low, but can be tuned several ways depending on the musician and the tune. They were popular in jazz bands and "Dixie land " music in the '20s and ' 30s. My dad was a drummer in a little Dixie combo and one fellow played a tenor banjo. He let me hold it. It was unbelievably heavy and built like a tank. Wish now I'd been more interested in the darn thing. Would have loved to get some lessons. He mostly played rhythm chords and he was a damn fine musician. Don't remember his name, but I'm sure this old tenor is still going strong, even though this gent has long since passed on to the other side. Cheers.
I'm coming to cape Breton this wknd.....I'm a bodhran player.. Any locals want to get together? I'm not a showboat .., I could be a good compliment to a set if interested... Cheers.

Check out “Andy Irvine and Paul Brady” it’s absolutely mind-blowing.

That guy on the banjo has music flowing in his veins instead of blood.
i´m from Austria and know how this music developed in the last two hundred years.
Its music wich makes me - and I think the most of all - happy
Hey, I'm 10thousand miles and seven years away, and I have to say I agree with you. Happy.

I can listen to these guys all day long! :-D Great share.
blue grass has it's roots in Scotland and Ireland before it became part of Appalachia
so not surprised by this music
@Dònal Brügge it came from the African Banjar which was the predecessor to our present day banjo.
The banjo came to Ireland via the US when Irish Americans sent tunes back to Ireland that had been long forgotten.
Love love love this performance! Loved everything about it, beautiful! :)
-oh, and what an attractive man LOL ..fangirlin’ ;)
Excellent fiddles and banjo. Glad you named the fine banjoist in the comments. Thanks for recording it and sharing it.
In my first week of fas Aishling burke showed me these musicians playing and since then I've loved them!!
Watching and listening again!
Great Banjo & Fiddling - Pinned it on my St. Pat's Party pinterest site for others to discover and enjoy. Talented musicians doing a great job!
Perfection in the form. i love this... thank you x
Awesome! I just started listen Irish and Cheltic music recently and really love them.

This music brings a smile to my face. Awesome!
There is something about this music that speaks to me.
Absolutely agree with you. ☘🥃
This is so lovely. New world riffing but always maintaining the Gael. Makes me think of ancestors in Appalachia
They re now claiming to be "Ulster Scots".
That being so, as they claim... This isn't Irish music.

Lots of irish melodies are like that. This is a relatively modern composition.
I love how this start. So laid back all feel
Encore et encore again !
Amazing the sound he gets out of that May Bell tenor banjo. Back in its day, that instrument was considered a student banjo.
