Lovely performance by people obviously enjoying having a few tunes together in the best part of the house to do such things--the kitchen.

[BigBirdy100]

Amazing and so in sync.

[gusthelesswise]

[beebsncors]

Yes youre right. I got them mixed up. palmers gate and then the curlew

[kmando1]

[deccadizzle]

i sense some trouble in that kitchen...

[Iyvindar]

Very, very nice!! 5*

[beebsncors]

Hiya, The first is The curlew, the second is Palmers gate and the third is Kit O'Connor....thanks for the invite to your session - but we are in Australia so its a bit far:) Next time we are around that way we will be sure to!

[elbowpipe]

...and here's me thinkin' I saw one of you on the No. 27 bus!...

[elbowpipe]

Great tunes and playing, but I'm confused - is the first tune 'The Curlew' or 'Palmer's Gate'? Drop in at Sandy Bell's, Edinburgh Monday night or Plockton Inn, Plockton on Thursdays - you'll be very welcome!

[sawdocfan]

Great tunes! From Cam the Banjo Player (camwebby)

Awesome! What are the tunes called?

[earnestwilde]

[sneetch3]

I love you guys! xxxx

[jerryhollandjr]

Great playing folks, good tunes as well!

[dragon76tatsu]

Wow, tunes are great...musicians are great...it all sounds so effortless! I just started irish/cape breton fiddling a year or so ago, so i know how difficult trad is...I wish i could do my triplets and gracenotes as smoothly as these fiddlers! Whenever i do them they sound forced :( ah well, i guess its just practice, practice and finding as much trad as possible on the net (Irish music is still a novelty in Okinawa, unfortuately)! Thanks for the upload!

[katiebeeburke]

Oh... my.... lord. I have a pimple! It's right there! Right behind the guitar!

[ruffett]

These are great tunes!Whats the name of them and what tuning does your guitar player use?Thanks and put up some more tunes........

[weezel21]

i freaken love this video, you guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!

[beebsncors]

Its lovely that you have shared the video with all of your students. But playing trad takes a massive effort - Its unusal to make a living, we do put in a huge amout of time, just for the love of the tunes! It is fun though.

[noxiousdow]

Yeah practice makes perfect, eh? Soon you'll be the best beer drinker in the world, Beebs :-)

[losttribe21]

i'm a high school orchestra teacher in ny....i've shared this video with ALL of my students as tool to use their instrument to just, Have Fun...thnks!

[donough170]

Keep it up guys

[beebsncors]

I'm pretty sure its Kit Connor's

[hamer0]

Oustanding talent. I was amazed when I found this video. As a musician a can appreciate the effort and talent involved.  Keep up the excellent work and send us some more.

[bobdylansblues]

Beautiful!

Whats the name of the last tune?

[beebsncors]

All three are australian born and bred.

[boniokeownio]

greattunes but i suspect at the least the guitar player is irish. her accent is a tad northern.but best tunes on you tube so far.

[fiddlyoleben]

this is sweet i love irish pieces any thing that even sounds irish i love it it's awsome i love playing the fiddle.swell job mates.you should do more sign for a record or something.you are good

[beebsncors]

Its called the Curlew - written by Josephine Keegan.

[FolkFiddler4]

Shit yeah, me likes! Well done, aussies...

Does anyone know the name of the second tune? I've heard it several times before but I still don't know the name and it's hard to learn only by listening...

[kiltealerazer]

Lovely lovley style, they`re not from clare are they ;)

[diaton]

il reste une place ? j'arrive !!!

[mishavu]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....WOW!... o_O

[kaseryn]

Godamn, that was awesome. Came across this video looking for anyone doing Micahel Coleman and was spellbound. Wish i could play like that but its still a joy to hear it!

[TinWhistler]

Awesome! Please more!

[Conanmcd]

By the way, is Katie Bee single? Tell her there's this really cool 6'4" drop dead handsome box player with the mind of Charlie Parker, Albert Einstein and Billy Connolly rolled into one and modest to boot :o)

[fiddle75]

cool. is the gutar in dadgad?

[muntoidprime]

sounds good in f#min to me! tunes get a really distinctive sound in that key I think. Thanks for telling me.

[noxiousdow]

Oh yeah, says Beebs, who claims not to know anything about keys :-)

[beebsncors]

Palmers gate in F#m - its usually played in Em

[muntoidprime]

does anyone have a name for the first tune?

[beebsncors]

hahahahhaa. That Kbee is the spunkiest of the lot!

[kateburke]

What a bunch of spunks! I'd definitely go out with at least one of them.

[SillyWizard]

Good Stuff!
