Paddy Canny & Frankie Gavin

[DefeatedElitist]

Absolutely fantastic. To play that well, at his age... this generation really needs to take notes. Masterful.

[DCarnold84]

At 1:40-41 there is a tremendous crash between them that is a great thing.

Tuning? /

Malgré tout les respect que j'ai pour Frankie Gavin, je trouve domage de ne pas laisser jouer Paddy Canny en solo !

Car c'est là qu'on peut apprécier toutes les subtilités de son jeu et peut etre tenter de percer le mystere de son jeu...qui reste encore pour moi un exemple.

Sur cette video, il y a trop de différeces entre les jeux des deux violonistes, qu'ils se nuisent l'un l'autre...A quand des vidéos du maitre en SOLO!!!!

A legend indeed, and one of my absolute favorite fiddlers. It's the great old fiddlers like him that inspired me to learn.

If anyone wants to hear some great music, get "An Historic Recording Of Irish Traditional Music from County Clare and East Galway," (originally called "All-Ireland Champions: Violin") featuring Paddy Canny, P.J. Hayes, Peadar Ó Loughlin, and Bridie Lafferty.

Purely mellifluous . Lovely tunes as well.

Thanks, men .

Thanks for uploading this vid clarebannerman. I'm ashamed to say I wasn't familiar with Paddy's playing until now. What lift! Loved it.

How much poorer this world would be without characters like Paddy.

Yet American music brings a lot of blues phrasing into that Celtic vein , what comes straight from Africa...

[kacharov]

the American "Country" and "Western" Music come from there, from Irland, of Irish folk music, and the American "Folk Music" is for me, a real copy of this...

[anorak64]

This is a gem

[CannyBB123]

[numbersindad]

Wow! You have the best posts of anyone on the Tube. As a subscriber, I can't wait to see what comes out next. This one's the best -- to see the embodiment of East Clare fiddling 'having a go' with the great Frankie Gavin. Thanks!

[clarebannerman]

You can see how Martin Hayes picked up that lovely style of playing.  One of the first long playing records of Irish Trad. was one recorded by Paddy Canny & P J Hayes (Martin's father).

Up the banner!

[SWFLFiddler]
