[Heath75032]

It is two tunes

Rathlin island is one of them

[baioke93]

what's this song's name?

[sciamhach]

I wonder how much he practiced when he was first learning, and how long it took him to get this good.

[TheT1492]

2 people are definantly high

[TheTori144]

Absolutly amazin :D

[thedicebreen]

0:55 is sex

[BlindTriker]

We have seen them live.... absolutely stunning. Each and every one of them plays tin whistle, but Kevin is a sensation!

Also check out the brillian Joannie Madden (formerly all-Ireland national champion) on the whistle. Pure genius!

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

I love his playing, but I definitely don't like susato whistles' sound.... they just have a session volume, but not a good tone

[twosheds1313]

Fair play to you Kevin - Absolutely amazing stuff - Must be the Brummie in you coming out there ! Orlroight !!

[thedeadscientist]

sorry, I meant "in our blood"

[thedeadscientist]

How dare people say that Europeans have no rhythm "in the blood"?

I guess their ears are just too slow to get this rhythm. He can play faster than some people can listen...

5670000 stars for the musician! And thanks for sharing!

[liamg353]

Absolutely fkn brilliant

[Moko409409]

He came to my school to talk to my world music class he is insane at the penny whistle I love how he really gets into the music

[Delgift]

Oh my God, the sound of that instrument has always captivate me and your playing is beyond amazing!

5 stars all the way. *****

[MythicaMusic]

whaaaaat amazing

[nrubdarb]

Just got a Low D Susato myself and am blown away. I used to think - like kerrywhistles joke - that they were a bit naff.

Was I ever wrong!

Bets low whistle I've ever owned (and I have tried many and owned 3 or 4)

Then again, Kevin could play a drainpipe and it would sound good.

[QRS666]

I consider myself to be a decent whistle player but this guy is sick. I simply don't understand what he is doing to make it sound so fluent, right and complex. Just fantastic, period!

[bleedrag]

no puedo dejar de emocionarme con estos reels gracias por responderme en facebook kevin crawford ¡¡¡

[TheFilth89]

[Sarbanda]

He's a legend!! :D

[nicksmetcalf]

[john983892geor]

My wife and saw Lunasa on March 21st at Central Michigan University. They were incredible! They are all excellent musicians and put on a wonderful show. Go see them if you can and youll be hooked.

[KNQuail]

OMG that's crazy good!

[mossyslopes]

That was incredible.

Inspiring & yet devastating !

...... as he sheepishly glances at his tin whistle beside the keyboard .

[caitlin21meeenie]

[matinifiero]

[patchbod]

too fast. ruins it

[antandant]

wow!!!!!!!!

[YuiHisaishi]

zomgz O.O....sugoi O.O..!!!!!!

[israelirishmusic]

does anyone know which susato whistle that is? A kildare or a dublin? medium, small or very small bore?

[JSCWhistler]

This is a brown Kildare, probably medium bore, like the one I play, is my guess, though I could be wrong.

[0bh]

Someone in the comments said he was playing in F nat, I haven't confirmed this but the F and G only come in very small bore. The D comes in very small bore and small bore. The highest key in a medium bore is the A so it's definitely not a medium bore. Just from looking, I would have guessed it was a very small bore D, which is not as loud as a small bore D but he's using a mic, the very small bore is a more nimble whistle and a joy to play. I have both and hardly ever play the small bore.

[JSCWhistler]

Well, I'm not sure about the bored, but I know it's definitely a C whistle, and he's playing in G dorian, because I've played along with the track playing in G minor. So it's A dorian on a C whistle.

[0bh]

That would make it a small bore, it's really hard to tell by just looking, kind of depends how big his hands are. I bought the C and D together with one fipple. I like playing the C better than the D in the small bore. My nephew has a C accordion and the small bore C holds it's own without being overpowered. I really like the Susato whistles, they have a decent sound and they're not very expensive.

[soulsock]

fuckin amazing

[titkorn]

quel souffle!!!!!!!!

[SirLancelot85]

great performance...wish i could play like Crawford :S

[Savagegalka]

the man is a machine

[harmen147]

[guitarfreaktx]

This song is called Island Paddy

[Javah90]

He plays two songs. The first is Rathlin Island and the second is Sporting Paddy.

[theSilentDream]

gosh, I wish I could play like him :)

[sjktje]

Amazing what one can do with a cheap arse Susato whistle!

[HelioIgnus]

susatos aren't the cheap ones. They are a mid range as far as prices go.

[sjktje]

*shrug*. Compared to the Paul Busman whistle I play it's fairly cheap.

[HelioIgnus]

lol yeah but the price doesn't change the fingering, so is it that amazing?

[sadisticmind49]

[sadisticmind49]

[risialcosa]

[marcopedrini]

incredible......

[StJimmy405]

gr8 flute player. Gives Matt a run for his money!!

[baschalmighty]

that's no flute it's a whistle

[StJimmy405]

eh yes...but I was saying he is a fantastic flute player.

[baschalmighty]

But in the context of this clip that kinda sounds weird doesn't it.

It's like saying that John Travolta is a great pilot when you're watching pulp fiction. It's true but the context makes it a bit odd

[lukaduke]

thats great work my dad played in long acre with kevin hes the greatest!!!

ivan miletitch is my dad

[PringlesandSoda]

GREAT!! Thanks for posting :)

[bmackall]

I love watching Lunasa play live. They have an incredible energy and Kevin and Sean's stories are priceless. This is a very nice performance of one my favorite songs on the album. I must say though, I'm kinda disappointed that there are no Bulgarian Rock clips on youtube.

[scrybe314]

What key is this in? I can't quite figure it out....either way, Crawford is unbelievably talented, just plain amazing.

[toxicwaste193]

F nat.

[alonsovg08]

Are you sure that is a susato? seems more like a sweetheart to me.

[darvis73]

it's definitely a susato...i've sat 3 feet from the stage as he played, and he sets the whistles down during intermissions...both he and sean smyth play susatos unless you get into the lower keys

[Cagun]

The first tune is "Rathlin Island", the second one is "Sporting Paddy"

[thithio]

what is the name of this song!?

[henribueno]

the name is "Island Paddy"....=D

[b0dhran]

Good work - You zoomed right in on that guy's amazing fingers and the sound is quite good, too. Nice job! Thanks
