Harp Player at Sean Kelley's Irish Pub New Orleans-Luke Brechtelsbauer

...... or maybe not, looks like it's closed?

OMG, SOOOOO beautiful! Is there any better sound in this world? Makes me wanna learn how to play, like RIGHT NOW! There's a reason why angels don't play flutes or violins, they play the HARP! Bless you for posting. If ever I'm in NO, I'll be sure and stop by your pub :D

@miarocks - Actually, in the Bible they play the lyre (kithara) as do the resurrected saints. Different sound altogether, suitable for accompanying vocal music in the antique style. :) And as you undoubtedly know, the old Irish wire-strung harps sound altogether different too. That said - this is one terrific example of the art and if it provokes you to start learning how to play the neo-Celtic harp, go for it. Once I took it up (after starting with the lyre!), I never looked back.

Unfortunately this Pub is closed, I was the manager of this place and booked this guy, along with some other awesome irish bands, but Sean Kelly was a swindler, and a thief and it caught up to him. No more Sean Kelly's, but all this stuff is now at the Kerry Irish Pub on Decatur st.now.

@irishmike1975 Hey Irishmike, I can understand Sean Kelly is a swindler. I never got paid for shooting this video as I was promised. I spent a hundred+ hours editing this video for him and he never paid me. I should have known he was a weasel. What about the guys he was in business with? Just wondering.

@videoguysimster sry my last reply didnt post. Seans partner Teddy is ill and moved back to NY where he was originally from. Sean still has a Deli on Royal st. Its sad, the guy has a ton of money, but doesnt pay his debts. He still owesme around $5000 to this day. Sorry you were another person he screwed, but I guess we just chalkit up to a lesson learned.

@irishmike1975 Thanks for the info Mike. I think we did an interview with you on the video did we not? Maybe I can get down that way soon and see you. Where are you working now? Please stay in touch and Take Care.
