Today I listened. Again. This never gets old, and it never fails to revive all of my Spirits. What a masterpiece 🙏

[@yvonneschlame8657]

Again. I listened again. And again. Oh, and also I listened again. And while I was at it, I listened again. I think I will listen to it again, too. My daughter has listened to it too. Again. And again.
My wow just broke I think 💖🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💯❤️💖

is it possible to wear out a you tube track the way i used to wear out records???? cannot listen to this while i'm working - end up jumping around the room. Absolutely superb. The other one is just incredible also.

Sure miss Dennis and Martin playing together, this performance is genius

Just awesome start to finish - rare to hear Carolan's Fairwell to Music. Martin Hayes plays it as descriptive as the story goes that Carolan was in his last days, composed/payed it and then went to bed and passed away. Great set through all the tunes!

This is the best piece of music I have ever heard. When reaching the last crecendo, I have stopped breathing.

[@IrishMemoryOrchestra]

Thank you Kristian, what a lovely compliment!

I've only just come across this. It's brilliant, Martin, Dennis and co. I'll listen to this a few times.

Absolutely love this set. Amazing musicians, amazing music 💖

A breathtaking master piece.

[@DONAL914]

The first 5 minutes I can hear Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Wounded knee, Auschwitz or any great travesty of our times. Martin and Denis are capable of bringing us anywhere with ease and their humility is mind blowing.
