[Rinty145]

I keep coming back this video. The talent of that man is awe inspiring.

[m4rkyboy]

Give Irishman or a Scotsman a guitar and he tunes the drone first

[anitadavideduo]

Wonderful!!

[licensedtochill1]

I wonder did everbody there, audience and technicians, know they were wittnessing something special?

[emncaity]

@licensedtochill1

Who knows...but we know it now, yeah?

[ivanwalsh1]

a legend !

[TheLordbanjo]

they shouldve turned up arty . its hard enough to play tunes on guitar without having to play over such loud accompaniment. i still love the clip though

[AllyWheels]

Beautiful

[Peggy91193]

Simiply brilliant!

[ramqen951]

I would probably enjoy this if i hadn't heard the Liam O Flynn solo from "the well below the valley"

[joydivision1980k]

[echoceleste]

Seems people knew how to mike an acoustic guitar in those days too. Better thanany Fishman!!!

[tristetta]

@echoceleste its just a yamaha...

[echoceleste]

@tristetta Yes it is a Yamaha, but as i said, people know how to MIKE an acoustic guitar in those days

[TomRAFC]

@tristetta clearly you are unaware that yamaha have produced some fine instruments over the years

[echoceleste]

@TomRAFC Yes thats also true. But the most important thing is the sound anyway

[givingitashot1]

just brilliant!

[cdogse7]

[emncaity]

Kinda like to hear the A & C sections on a drone, but that's nitpicking. Handy playing, for sure.

[cdogse7]

its fumpy nit picking

[yaisum]

Neither of them vertigo sufferers, judging by the height of those stools!

Great music too.

[methodinsane]

I really wish Brady wasn't playing here, or at least his volume was lower. Can't hear Arty's playing well enough (which is quite good).

[crexcrex71]

Sorry I thought I corrected this. Seems I posted 'The Gold Ring' in the wrong place. A senior moment on my part. This tune is The Humours of Ballyloughlin' as pointed out. Good luck in Tullamore Guklasmyd

[jackwhiskey]

Geeeeze, that's a killer low end on Paul's guitar! 'Love those triplets!!

[markmcguigan03]

R.I.P

[cienpipers]

wow that's the fifth essence of picking on guitar

[daviddelaney17]

FYI,

this tune was recorded some years back by eileen ivers,

D

[murlach1]

[booth26h]

[booth26h]

[crexcrex71]

The tune played is a six part jig favoured by pipers, called 'The Gold Ring'

[GUKLASMYD]

its not the gold ring its definately humours of Ballyloughlin- I'm planning on playing it at the fleadh this year (08) its 4 part as you shouldbe able to tell by listening.

[crexcrex71]

The tune played is a six part jig favoured by pipers, called The Gold Ring.

[gebbytoo]

thats a jig, not a reel. i really like the two guitars. ive never heard that before

[6079eoin]

I mention this to Arty recently, and he can't remember it!

[OldenHynes]

Thanks for posting. Excellent performance of the song.

[tony1orourke]

What year was that from 1975, 76, 77? Arty and Paul are young looking men there.

[robindevaucelles]

Hum... well, well, I shall better go and work my guitar for another 200 years (at least).

Just awesome...

[swisspiper]

Lovely!

But that's a double Jig which is a standard for uilleann pipes and not a reel...

[michaelmaggard]

Awesome. Do you have any more with Arty?
