An Irish whistle solo by Clodagh Holland

[TheDockerfan]

Why do people watch if they are going to dislike?

[Bently100]

Just wonderful!

[macrons593]

thumbs up if you were bored and put in "whistle".

[PyR0Star]

@macrons593 actually this is on my favs and it cheers me up to listen to it so go troll on my channel at least >-) x00x0x0x0x0 if your bored, make something, do something, and commit. My friends and I call it treasure hunting, and the movie ENDLESS SUMMER II put it best when Bruce Brown said something like, who knows how many wonderful things are waiting in the world for you, if your just willing to get off your butt and go.

[ts2101]

it was hard, but I managed to stop myself from running to the shop and buy myself a green suit while preforming a jig of the century and yelling ''They ar' after me' lucky charms!''

[christoir246]

@ts2101 why do ye have to keep coming out with stupid sayings like that

[PyR0Star]

wow, I have to fav this, fantastic playing!

[PyR0Star]

stomp clap stomp clap! I can't help but to want to start dancing or join in!

[bweber2k]

the reptiles left ireland with a pipe, why not the ugly brits?

[SubbaSimmal]

@bweber2k pipes are the f****** best instrument in this world!

[2RSkipG]

Beautiful, graceful, long, fingers!

[Silencerltu]

Is tin whistle and irish whistle the same because look at the name of the video ---> An IRISH WHISTLE solo.. so im confused..

[EmeraldProductionsCo]

@Silencerltu Yes Tin whistle is also called a penny whistle and in Irish, the word is feadog. BTW it was an English invention

[Silencerltu]

@EmeraldProductionsCo ah ok, thanks for clearing my mind, because i know very little about music

[wintersnowflake1001]

[tailgunnerjoe1]

You are amazing! I wish I could play like that! I'll bet with those long fingers, you play the low whistle with ease also.

[MrMichaelmoriarty101]

this tune is called the swallows tail reel which originally was played by myself mick moriarty after getting it from the keenan family ballyfermot and the pavees furey keenan group peter mcalinden london memntions it on his latest cd i was the first person to play this tune in england

[Leccarospi]

You are amazing. **

[Larocque819]

I just love Celtic metal music using whistles

[TheCorpseCrusher]

@Larocque819 YES! Eluveitie by any chance? haha

[Larocque819]

@TheCorpseCrusher Eluveitie is one of them of course! haha and I really like Heol Telwen too, you should listen to that band if you never heard it!

[TheCorpseCrusher]

@Larocque819 Sure will thanks for the recomendation bud \m/

[GnomeSlayer666]

what the fuck...

[Normanskie]

It just goes to show what you can do with a bit of old tin half dozen drilled holes and an expert. Very well played.

[doncachorron]

her fingers are sooo long!

[IrishRA]

you don't deserve to play an IRISH whistle you traitorous whore. go do what the english do best and ruin nations and kill innocent people

[LegalAlien100]

@IrishRA What on EARTH are you going on about?!

Sounds like "troll alert" to me.

[bazilmonk]

@LegalAlien100 What he is "going on" about is obviously a legitimate complaint against expressing one's self in an aesthetically pleasant manner when they clearly should be doing so through indiscriminate violence or inappropriate use of... political influence? I dunno but it comes from a self-described 41yo U.S. marine marksman who enjoys "killing people and explosions". Grain of salt and all.

[LegalAlien100]

Ha Ha Ha!!! Too true Bazilmonk!

Grain of salt pinched; make music not war ;-)

[blindpea]

cant even hold mine properly. :(. But girl, youre GOOOOOOOD!

[InsatiableCuriosity]

That was beautiful. Well done!

[IlikefishIlikemusic]

forsburgers why dont you shove your recorder up your ass to stop the shit spurting out of it that constitues your brain. this girls amazing.

[lovelyaley]

[sirprankalot1]

played like a bro...nice job! :-)

[jewface6]

she has super long fingers.....

[Darkmonk5555]

@jewface6 she has beautiful fingers!

[2wingo]

@Darkmonk5555 She'd be a master if she ever learned how to play the guitar.

[Mockatt]

Very nice playing!

What brand is the whistle?

[mrkgreenman82]

i like it very much. she does have freakishly long fingers

[jaybenny100]

crap ology

[EvolutionOfTheZombie]

wow her fingers look as though they are irish dancing

[JustBe1989]

This has the spirit of Ireland. Amazing .I wanna learn how to play it now.Cheers from italy,i bet this would sound amazing togheter with a very neapolitan mandulin.

[multitalented95]

@JustBe1989 i just bought one and can't wait to start learning!!! :)

[lsbus]

wow...



[schaeffrees]

Beautiful ! Very inspiring!

[saleemdebu]

wow



[mRjAcKmAn95]

did she say something before she started playing?

[platterloveryes]

Not only exceptionally talented, but beautiful too! I'm guessing by the flute in the background that this gorgeous girl also plays that; this truly is what Ireland's about, and long may it continue.

[Mini0Vanilla]

very very  beautiful thnks for share

[irishndfan06]

wow I wish I could play like this

[scusack08]

Yert ;)

[lokuken]

Holy crap

[Koyko200]

You are very good. :D

[emma1linzi]

[ovWolves]

if i knew you id ask you to mary me your amazing you play so well

[ovWolves]

if i knew you id ask you to mary me your amazing you play so well

[cheapread]

Dear 'forsburgers' I feel your pain, you've done your best and this lovely girl gets given from God above ten fingers each a foot long with alsorts of magic traction like God's own puppet - you got no chance - sure matt Molloy was the same, ten gawky extended fingers like lobster claws and to top it all they've got ceól burstin out thru their caipíns...tut...

[ClevelandBro24]

Anyone Know what kind of Flute she has? Looking into getting one.

[thisIsNotReallyAname]

@ClevelandBro24 it's a Tin Whistle!! :D I bought one today!! :D

[ClevelandBro24]

@thisIsNotReallyAname.....do you know what specific kind though? there are many i've read. is it a celtic whistle specifically? or? looking for something to hit those High Irish Notes.

[thisIsNotReallyAname]

@ClevelandBro24 mm :/ dunno man. an Irish whistle perhaps

[AmericanAcquiescence]

@ClevelandBro24 @ClevelandBro24 I did a little research, and the whistle looks a lot like the whistles made by John Sindt. I don't know what key it's in, though. D seems to be the most popular, with C coming in second. Chiffandfipple (dot) com has some pretty good guides about tin whistles. I found all of that info there.

[lifewater1984]

gosh all I want to do is play twimkle twinkle little star on the tin whistle... You are amazing thank you for showing us your talent!!

[givingitashot1]

Brilliant:) Ryan -Tyrone

[Shukria123]

This makes me want to skip and dance around!

[qubdent]

Well done Clodagh Holland ...from Dungannon man in Chicago ...your music spans the Atlantic !!!!!!!

[stormybirds]

Brilliantly played.

[KevinHavocVulture]

6 People are deaf and blind.

[liammustang1996]

I bet she has lots of fun on her own with such LONG! fingers:)

[deuceron]

@liammustang1996 i was thinking the same thing hahahahahah

[uhclem]

@liammustang1996 Yeah 'cause they need to be so long to reach...oh nevermind. That's plain stupid!

[liammustang1996]

@uhclem

shutup! DICK :/

[qubdent]

Great stuff Clodagh ....from a Dungannon man in Chicago

[Psikonort]

Brilliant!

[MrWigglezify]

man if i could play the wistle too....

[ruisir1]

the video response sucked

[IrishWidowMaker]

Honestly loved it Tnk You!!

[Tepengapk]

I fail to see how anyone could suggest this beautiful young lady has "man hands". Her hands are just like her music...perfect. This was wonderfully done. This just goes to prove once again how beautiful the whole of Ireland is.

Well done Miss Holland!

[Tepengapk]

This is just simply beautiful. I would love to hear more from this talented young lady.

[FiabaDelGuerriero]

o.O Amazing! Now I wanna marry her! ahahahah (just jocking XD)

[fullmatiz]

I'd tap that

[61mustafa]

Woaaaaaaaw !

10/10 so talented, greetings from Turkiye to Ireland....

[PapaHarpo]

I don't think she will appreciate the last comments " those man hands ". She has long slender hands and she demonstrated just how the Irish Whistle should be played. I really enjoyed that well done. Happy whistling.

[catfishparts]

she needs a bigger whistle for those man hands! but very beautiful nonetheless!

[piratebri]

Love the part at 1:36 when it gets deeper.

[1985OldSkool]

Beautifully and brilliantly played.

[MorkaGraven]

Well done.

[jennifercollins011]

i have the same teacher!!! OMG

[Bamchikibam]

She can blow

[StevenFHP]

irish music is so typical and beautiful!!

[forsburgers]

Well done Clodagh ...you have ruined my day ....and reminded me why my tin whistle now sits on my window sill, stuffed with cotton wool and growing alfalfa out the holes which I trim now and then to look like a caterpillar.

[markdmckenna]

@forsburgers That's kind of a cool thing to do with a whistle.

[lolsa123]

@forsburgers haha xD imba!

[19grand]

@forsburgers that is what I'd call a viruoso performance. Don't be dis-heartened, small steps an' all that.

[ISIJAH]

@forsburgers Way to be bitter. XD

[purrusco]

uuhaaaaa!!! que bueno...muy bueno.

estoy admirado

[SamDavison92]

always arguments on every video i go on. can't you just listen to her beautiful playing and leave it at that?

[larisen969]

Wow, look at those long fingers! Made for (low-)whistle-/fluteplaying. Btw, playing is excellent.

[DreaminofFL360]

Beautiful.

[Porkpies70]

Wow,what an incredible talent you have.Tear to my eye darlin.

[TheRockyfox1]

Brilliant as usual, Clodagh. Hope u have kept it up...........

[Evansi1]

beautifull is all i have to say 4 this peice of music. keep up the good work :)

[robroyman1980]

why must every celtic music video have jackasses bickering about politics???!!!! FFS

[dgfdfyggfh]

very good ;)

[quelemon]

now utube makes sense to me

[Nickodemusodurn]

Slender dexterous hands! She's a natural.

[richardbough]

I have a question. It appears that you are using the pad between your 1st knuckle and 2nd on your left hand Index Finger. If I'm correct, do you find it as an advantage, or it just a comfort thing? Thanks, and great job!! Sounded Excellent. :-)

[inaccesscigii]

fuck the british ass hole!! long live to the high poeple !! big up from belgium from sweden turkey and from hungary!!!

[downbeatpuppet]

@Mrgump1337 Irish people are British. I think you meant English.

[christoir246]

@downbeatpuppet what the fuck are u on about sayin irish people are english,do u know anythin u stupid yank. We are Gaelic.

[downbeatpuppet]

@christoir246 I'm a stupid yank, but you thought I said Irish people are English? Re-read my comment; I said British. You can be Gaelic as well, but I never disputed that. Being from a country whose language far predates my own, one would think you'd be able to speak more properly than I. You're making a fool of yourself - spewing that rubbish.

[christoir246]

@downbeatpuppet Your still wrong,Irish people are not british and have nothing to do with Britain. Ireland is a republic so get your facts right.

[95jjs]

@christoir246 Northern Ireland. True Ireland

[jimday666]

nice, fast rhythm, I like it

[cooltuque]

Make me think of The Dubliners

[lerouxv1]

Well done!! Excellent!

[lorcang]

very good whistle player

[666metaladept666]

I would kill for these finger!!!

Hehe well... it's a joke, i love my finger, they're not so bad :)

[ormepipes]

I can't believe that so many sicko's have left so many comments on this. She's one of the best whistle players I've heard and soooo young! - I think they are all just jealous lass if you ask me. Comhalthas is an excellent organisation and plays a huge part in keeping the Irish culture alive.

[SuperPaulrose]

@ormepipes the people who slag and say nasty things dont have no clue what they talk about,she plays well ,would love to play bodghran with her shes good

[StevieB1362]

Very talented young lass. 

[maireadnic]

She's terrific!

[TomokoMurakami]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

[brookwall]

Beautifully played.

[santakmugne]

Magic fingers

[ailzsmithy]

Great playing!!

[FalconStkr1]

Nasty, Long live County Down

[Dawuuud]

Comhaltas has some serious musicians!

[randyh79]

i always wondered that they should sound like. guess i'll give that up too.

[HungryVermilingua]

She can surely blow a whistle.

[Fishinboating]

she has the longest fingers i have ever seen !!!

[cena1051306]

she has big hands

[MrNewyorker9]

Beautiful sound

[gilliser]

great stuff, and a beautiful young lady

[booniecap101]

Beautiful music. I love that Celtic sound! :-)

[aeiou99999]

Amazing sound for this little instrument

[BCShimDaddy]

she reminds me of a forest imp or some sort of elf thing

[LordUhtred1]

There's nothing wrong with her ears, being Elf-like is a good thing - and she plays beautifully.

[funyellowpills]

@LordUhtred1 yeah it makes her sexy.

[TheCherokeeboy]

yall gotta have them ears fixed. I'm from Georgia and i understand what she said perfectly. Beautiful piece.

[funyellowpills]

she looks like an elf from some kind of MMORPG

[Llynok]

A tad annoying without a back beat or strings.

Feels like an improvisation.

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

@Llynok don't you know the tune?

[ppl00125]

hmmm... what key is this in??? please...

[kamikazensbm]

cool!

[DancesWithLlamas]

holy shit I did not understand a single word she said.

[andrewshere]

It's easy! She says:

"Well my teacher's called Sharon McDermott and I'm going to play two reels on the tin whistle called The Swallow's Tail and Josephine Keegan's reel."

And she plays them beautifully.
