That was utterly extraordinary. What an alchemy between the two. Martin was fluid and intense, and Steve plays with utter commitment and precision. So glad I bumped in to this video. We were in Ennis for the first time this past September/October, fell in love with it, and are considering moving there from Vermont in the U.S. We saw some brilliant trad sessions, including a mind-blowing one at The Diamond with Tommy Peoples' daughter, Siobhan, playing beautifully, along with other top-notch players, like Blackie O'Connell and our good friend Dan on flute. Many thanks for the post. I look forward to being in Ennis for the festival one day soon.
You should go.. it’s a great spot, and close to so many other notable iconic musical places, people, festivals, etc. Besides all of Ennis, there’s Custy’s Music Store, Willie Clancy Festival, Milltown Malbay, and Galway is a hop, skip and a jump to the north. Clare is awesome. Not far from Limerick either where there’s a guaranteed session nightly at Dolan’s restaurant, and other pubs throughout the city do weekly nights. Siobhán is a legend; she put up with me (lol, I was 19), as my 2x-weekly fiddle teacher when I was in Limerick. Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was a blessing to get her insight. I still remind myself of little tidbits, ideas, and advice on music that she gave me; of course, I repeat it in my mind in her voice. She’s a living icon just being who she is. Her father also gave us a master class, and that was something else. Six of us, and we were all under 20 y/o, semi-starstruck; Tommy Peoples was the opposite of the typical “celebrity”. So casual. Literally. Almost borderline expressionless; fully in flow with the musician’s life. He was so chill, in fact, he asked if he could smoke a cigarette while teaching us in the university…haha
