Kevin Burke - Martin Rochford's, Rolling in the Barrel, Youngest Daughter Reels

[ScottishFiddleLesson]

to much slides

[Pgitlitz]

Kevin's always been my favourite. I see him sliding into notes, when he swore to me he never slides...Hmmmm. 

[fgx900]

kevin = easy mode on ^^

[Autodidaktech]

Kevin is the man (of the house)...0.14-0.15

I went to see Kevin Burke in concert while he was doing his Celtic Fiddle Festival Tour in Tulsa.

[TheMasterRobi]

And he always looks so relaxed and pleased...RESPECT!!

...a great virtuoso...

[piemanjeez]

@ unseen122: thanks so much! i never knew it had been recorded, the accompaniment is great!

[Unseen122]

@piemanjeez

He did release 'Martin Rochford's' on an album, not a solo album, but on the first Patrick Street album.

[piemanjeez]

sorry i was thinking of the first tune, "Martin Rochford"

[piemanjeez]

nah it may have the same name but it's not the same tune at all

[piemanjeez]

why didn't he release "Rolling in the Barrel" on an album? I think it's one of the best tunes I've ever heard, and i would love to have a cd of his with it on it

[captainghey]

@piemanjeez

he did, it's in 'kevin burke: in concert'

[chaosIsTheOnlyPower]

Listening to Kevin Burke is a heartbreaking experience. It all looks SO EASY. And most of us will never, ever get close - not even on the same continent to this.

[JackyRowe]

@chaosIsTheOnlyPower i've been playing since i was 4, and he is literally something else. a virtuoso of irish music

[Dayepipes]

"Close" maybe easier than you think. After years teaching competition Highland piping in US, I finally got to see the world pipe band championships in Glasgow. First up were youth bands playing very basic music, the same skill level I was playing with -- but sounding professional. Easy posture and motions, flawless execution. The difference from their teachers was purely easier material. Make it correct, get it comfortable, make it flawless. Get any simple tune perfect, you'll be hooked.

[bomaite1]

Why doesn't it sound like that when I play it?

[piemanjeez]

@bomaite1

why doesnt it look like that when i play it either! my hand and arm are flying trying to keep up

[Autodidaktech]

@bomaite1 amazing slowdowner software and a holiday? :D

[fiddle4u]

Mighty Playing -- jim,

[DJFozter]

Great that the camera zooms in on his left hand, I like to be able to mimic that hand someday

[fiddlinshim]

Heartening to see that even KB is subject to bow squeals!

[slpy2nds]

Who's the guy in the comfy chair? I wonder what Kevin charges to play personal concerts ? ... nah , that wouldn't be any fun .

[klrietmann]

What's with the minute long outro?

That's back a ways, Kevin's much more long in the tooth now.

[groovycelt]

Actually the last reel is "The Tap Room," the same tune Paddy Canny & PJ Hayes played after "Rolling in the Barrel" on their famous 1959 LP

[ralpheym]

The "Youngest Daughter" and "In the Tap Room" are the pretty much the same tune. You can find the "Youngest Daughter" in O'Neill's 1001.

Fantastic playing
