Incredible playing with so much feeling, Love his style and always have.Brilliant! Pity there are zombies in the backround...hey ho some people very obviously are tone deaf
So odd to see the seated orchestra behind them ... I've been in the midst of a crowd, everyone on their feet, stomping, clapping, whooping, thoroughly enthralled by these two. Love them! Will miss them at Sebastopol Celtic Festival.
Snakemyth, I couldn't name them either. I think we need only dive into those sweet sounds and let them wash over us. Isn't it GRAND! Go Martin and Dennis!
Well, you have to really want to know the tune name. 99% of the tunes I play, I know the names of. I don't like not knowing tune names, especially if I play them. It's always nice having the name at hand should someone ask. I can't explain why I like knowing tune names, I just do. Reverends ABC search is a great tool. Sometimes you know that you've heard the tune before but can't place where. In my case, I look high and low for that recording, albeit sometimes unsuccessfully.
@crankymcstab HAHA! It's not really anything I do consciously. When I learn a tune or hear one I like, I make it my policy to find out what the name is. And, when I find the name, I can usually retain it. Most people don't care about the names so don't know them to begin with. Others will learn the name and then forget it soon after. For some strange reason, I don't have that problem. I'm just weird :P
@fgx900 Sorry, I'm not sure where you can find the sheet music. I just listen and learn from recordings. I think this is a better way anyway. If you want, you should pick up an album called "Trian" by Liz Carroll, Billy McComiskey and Daithi Sproule. The tune is on that and called "Tom Doherty's" :)
@fgx900 The session dot org... but I suggest to learn every tune by ear, it will improve your knowledge of music, you musical ear and your feelings when listening to irish music
Wow! Full of energy. I understand his playing is pretty much love or hate but I'm certainly in the love category. His self-expression and passion about the simplest of tunes is second to none. I've read a lot of request for tune names and have decided to post them for the benefit of others. They are:
Do you (or anyone else) know the name of the tune played at 3:08 - 4:44, before "The Torn Jacket". I've search the whole internet for both these tunes...
I've heard them several times now, and much as I appreciate the fiddling, I find the arrangements repetitive and tiresome. They always start out slow and dreamy and end up too fast. Good players but very over rated in my opinion.
I've heard no one better playing these great tunes. Martin puts all his heart and soul into his music. I've had over 100 hours of instruction in his classes. Learning about his vision of music and why and how it's played Is a fantastic experience. Even if you can't play a note yourself, it is worth it just to hear what he thinks.
I cant get over this video hes just SO amazing....And by the way hes not a machine.....He just has brilliant talent for music and is just outstanding at trad!
Excellent video, thanks for posting. These guy's are somthing else and live they are the closest you can get to a spiritual experience, for an agnostic!
Martin is without doubt the greatest Irish fiddler of his generation, possibly going back to the legendary Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman.
It's nice to hear Martin's take on Beare Island. The switch to the slip jig was executed in such a manor as to suspend the disruption of the tempo change, great! The reels that follow are such excellent picks. Just wish there was a tad more "Dennis" in the mix!
his style is very unique. not overbearing and quite smooth, perfect dynamics and incredible tone. truly a master
