I could listen to this tune for ever and ever and ever! Beautiful communication too! Thanks, really impressive touching music.
You guys are so talented and donal you're so so good you can really knock sparks outta that mandolin
It’s a bouzouki
two legends. someone put this video in a time capsule stat
good to see two fellow ciotogs horse out great tunes!
..a nice piece of music
'A slip Jig is a tune that finishes before you do'
Stunning, stunning, stunning.
ye Dónal!!! one of me favourite musicians
Two legendary lefties of Irish music.
Michael McGoldrick plays whistle, flute, pipes left handed but guitar, tenor guitar, mandolin etc. right-handed.
@@seanmorris And Donal writes with his right! Michael is a surprisingly good guitarist....or maybe given his musicianship it's not that surprising!
@@mcmanustony Dónal is around the age of my parents. My dad is left handed but was, let's say persuaded, to write right handed.
Michael seems to be good on a bunch of instruments. I'm based in Manchester so I've been lucky enough to hear him play in a bunch of sessions etc. He sometimes brings along a tenor guitar instead of a flute. One night he asked an old man what his favourite tune was (former whistle player who camee over in the 50s), a quick listen on a mobile phone, asked if he could borrow my mandolin and away he went very competently. (I think it was in a unfriendly key for his flute)
This is briliant !
Honestly one of my favourite tunes, and played by one of the best players
this is just gorgeous ❤
great quality of sound : D !! and amazing music : D
Amazing
So beautiful!! Very nice
My favorite song, and probably flutist. Can't get enough of both.
Masters.
Lunny´s arrangements are always superb, only matched by McGoldrick's fluency
just wonderful!
Gorgeous
Well, the tune is in F#m if it is on a D flute. He is playing on an Eb flute, so now it is transposed to Gm.
My god! They’re great!
Amazing!!!
Awesome clip!
Lovely 💜
amazing!!!!!!!!
honestly I just discover him myself a month ago thru paul brady song... brilliant.. sad I didn't know before man.
It's only fitting that these two masters from two different generations come together. #$%&^%$@!...that's Gaelic for "I love your music"
He's playing it in A maj here, the way it was written initially i think. It's a fairly easy tune to learn, lies well on the whistle. I learnt it by ear which i think is an easier way to learn this tune considering the tricky rhythm.
beautiful once the irish music is in you you cant get it out!
Unreal love it :)
Love that chorusing sound he gets from that very well tuned bouzouki. Definitely going to set mine up for unison strings.
Kevin J Seriously. Those chords just ring!
@Finlay Murray achh don't listen to me! He's playing it on Eb flute, but the key is A maj the way the tune is written, and if played on a D whistle or flute
The scale is A maj, but the key is F#m ...
A funny story about the flute. I grew up in Upstate New York in an old 120 year old house. In high school I was learning saxophone and flute. On day I was snooping around in the scary attic and found an old wooden flute, which I didn't realize until later, was an Irish flute. I tried to play it, and couldn't, because I was used to the standard flute with keys. I said, "Ah, this flutes no good, somethings missing." I threw it away in disgust. Bonehead move, probably worth a fortune.
I'm a big fan of u I play the flute to I'm learning one of ur tunes by ear
My Cavan girl Michael english
wooow brilliant .
ex bothy band bouzuki player is great musicians ..
Can anyone tell me who made McGoldrick's flute? Amazing player, amazing tone out of that flute!
Stephan morvane
Thanks for that data.
I think the tone comes very much from Michael as well :-D
Alexander Griffin I play the same flute I also met him at a gig in chorlton ( I was a flute player)

let's not forget another lefty, john doyle!
@lubiehotdogi Sounded like "shall we give it a bash?" to me.
donal lunny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they say great minds think alike
Pardon my possible arrhythmia, but isn't this in 6/8? I can't feel the slipjig 9/8 in the tune...
nice
OOOO..!!
muy bkn... :)
Thank you so much. do you know the best way to accompany this on the bouzouki (using capo if nesscessary). i tried copying donal lunny but just cant figure it out. if you could let me know it would be great.
@edelahaye Which of the two? They're both left handed, you know... :P
You can google the sheet music, but it's in a different key than what's being played here. This version of Farewell to Whalley Range is in G minor concert and is in 9/8 not 6/8. Most Irish flutes that I've seen are tuned to D. Therefore, F minor is the key for D flute parts because D flutes are two half steps above concert pitch so they need to be brought down. G minor concert brought down two half steps is F minor. Thanks for the upload, very beautiful and the bluesy notes add much to the slip jig's adventurous chord progression.
It's in F# minor pentatonic. He's playing it here on an Eb flute, one semitone or half-step above concert pitch, so it sounds in G minor pentatonic. Also, you're confused about "Irish flutes" or "D flutes". A "D flute" is in concert pitch. If you play the fingering for D, it produces a D.
@@milesnagopaleenForgive my ignorance, but is it possible to play in the same key as this guy on any given low whistle? If so, which low whistle would I want? D? F? Eb?
@@Luke-ih1oc As I said above, he's playing on an Eb flute, so you could play along on an Eb low whistle.
Could someone please tell me what key this is in. Please
It's F#m (A scale) played on a Eb flute. So it sounds like Gm
how many keys does his flute have?
Is that Belfast Castle?
Initially the tune is in D but can someone precisely tell me what key is the flute that mike is using and the way he plays it, excellent. A very modernize player yet still havent lost his trad skills. highly impresive
The tune was composed in F#m (A scale). Here, Mike is using a Eb flute hence, it sounds like Gm.
Details for my orchestra here ...

@@edelahaye It seems to me it's in F# minor pentatonic, played here in G minor pentatonic.
@@milesnagopaleen And how is it different with what I said ?
@@edelahaye Pentatonic scales have only five notes.
is this at Belfast castle?
Fkn brillient
Belfast Castle in the back ground
Am I the only one in this comment section who went to a gig on Sunday ( with the school musicians) and met Michael mgoldrick I SHOOK HIS HAND
Conor Conor I’ve met him a couple of times as well. Wonderful guy and always very accommodating! I was proper fanboying when I met him! Absolutely legendary in the folk scene.
Lol just to follow up on this I’ve now been to his house for a lesson! Wtf!!
The variation he plays second time through the first part anybody have the notes.
U make the variations up yourself no notes needed
What's the tune at the very beginning?
That's "Old Hag You Have Killed Me"
+Antonio Bernal Thank you!
An awful tricky flute tune and an even trickier piping tune, but I managed to get it!
"Should we have a bash?"
I think
"Sibh oighlas" I believe it is.
go lunnys
"Shall we have a bash, yeah?"
*lash :)
The correct idiom is "give it a lash" (meaning to try something, with energy). Michael is from Manchester, so possibly hasn't grasped the Irish expression accurately. But who cares when he can make such great music?
Not sure I get what either of you are saying. At no time does Michael say 'give it a bash'. It's Donal who says 'have a lash', and Mike is undoubtedly familiar with that expression, given that he grew up amidst Irish people and the trad community in Manchester.
what was the last word did they say? it was something in irish?
I believe they're saying "sibh oighlas."
"Shall we have a lash?"
That they like the slip-jig rythm. That's basically it.
Syncopation. Sounds great until you learn what it means. It means having a feeling for rythum that any German will flog you for. I speak from experience.
It sounds like 9/8 to me. Just count out 123 123 123 | 123 123 123 | 123 123 123. 6/8 would be 123 123 | 123 123 | 123 123 and so on.
That's because it is 9/8. But you might already know that since this was 4 years ago.
It's in G minor so it has B flats!
Nope. F#m played on an Eb flute. Sounds like Gm.
@lubiehotdogi I think let's give a lash or bash.
Iontach
@nial12345678910 too :]
it's 6/8, no doubt…
Bouzouki chords anyone?
