@pitisa1&MagusVideos I never heard of an artist being disappointed in an audience enjoying the performance. Enjoying & respecting are not mutually exclusive. Made me tap my feet (respectfully of course) anyway.
I thought initially that the title of this was a great example of drunken chinese whispers at folk sessions.
But it turns out that this is a different tune to the hag in the kiln, or the hag at the churn (ok they probably are the same tune), and probably other confusing names, all with completely different connotations. Those hags get around...
and dammit I am jealous of that seventies audience...
This is one the best Irish traditionnal music group I know, with so brilliant musician as Paddy Keenan (Uileann pipe), Matt Molloy (Flute), Donal Lunny (Bouzouki) ...
Bothy Band comes from Scottland (XIX century) when in the farms, men who were working in the fields during the day, had the habit to play music together in the evening = the bothy bands.
absolutely cool! i'd never seen harp scichord played together with the folk insts before. looks like an old film though, very much stimulative and creative, aren't they?!!
@thorbeast1 If this was filmed in Belfast in 1977 Irish music and culture were considered literally deadly serious, this music could get you killed in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Absolutely awesome. I didn't know live clips of this band existed (I've listened to their recordings for years, thinking "how in the world do they do that???"). Bless you @bilko1234 for posting.
Why wasn't the camera on Kevin for "Dinny Delaney's" ? Absolutely AWESOME stuff that has never been equalled to the present day; all the excitement of ANY rock music without ear-splitting volume.
In reply to the q below, it's Irish traditinal music. The pipes or uilenn pipes are an Irish traditional instrument. It's Irish traditional music played on a range of commin instruments and Donal Lunny, seen on left of picture is credited with briing the greek bouzouki into Irish trad music. His distinctive style of rhythm play brought a certain sound the music. The Bothies and a few more 'folk orientated' were frowned upon by the more conservative elements of Irish trad who wanted it kept pure.
One of the greatest irish bands of all time. Cameraman hadn't a clue. When Kevin Burke launches into Dinny Delaney's he focuses on Paddy Keenan and then on Donal Lunny.
So I'm searching for my favorite slip jig by my favorite fiddler - Tommy Peoples' The Old Hag In the Kiln - and stumble upon it done by my favorite Irish traditional band. 2nd tune in the set.
the more I watch this the more I wonder who was the idiot director - possibly somebody on work experience from the local special persons" home. The shoddiest TV work I have possibly ever seen
The Bothy Band- the beginning the end and the be all of Irish traditional music, truly brilliant. I was in my early twenty's when they started and I have yet to hear a group to come near them, (and there have been some good ones, i.e. Clannad, A ltan, de dannan, etc.) what more can I say.
Have you ever seen and heard Rory Gallagher in full flow? I have and I've seen and heard Clapton. Give me Gallagher any day. I've been to plenty of Paddy Keenan gigs and the Gallagher comparison is well founded.
Me too. I LOVE these old videos of them! I have always loved this kind of music. Wish I'd known the Bothy band existed back then. I was in high school then, and would have persuaded my parents to let me travel to just about anywhere in the U.S. to see them!
The Bothy Band. They were and are in many repects still the standard.. Even though I'm sure those times were as hard to live in as today. If you had the privilage of seeing such a band live, you would be a happy man or woman indeed..
They disbanded years ago. Mícheál Ó Domhnaill formed the band Nightnoise and died, tragically, from a fall in Dublin in 2006. Other members went on to join bands like Planxty. The shortness of this band's life makes these videos all the more special.
Are you a former Penguin???? I worked Vienna and as a floater 1976-77...Most of this great import stuff never even got to the shelves; those were the days when you actually had to KNOW the music to get a job at Penguin Feather
A lot of comments address the issue of the rerstrained, respectful audience. This is interesting to me. You could say the same thing about jazz nowadays. This is "session" music, originally intended to serve as background in a drunken pub. Imagine the noise of people listening to their own bullshit and fantasising about getting laid! What is the purpose of music anyway?
Point of music is to gve people a way of entertaining and a way of relaxation,, this type of music ( inmy own opinion) is by far my favouite, due to the fact that it is one of the most renowned and enjoyed types of tradiona music known in the world, and secondly, i play it,
It's incredible how emotions can rise out of a laptop screen after 27 years and show you the band you listened to but had never seen before. Thaks youtube! Thanks bilko1234
Paddy Keenen = King of the Pipers! Wouldnt surprise me if the tune by that name (he Pipers) was actually written to commemorate him, though I think that tune has been around longer than that!
I guess I wasn't paying attention to the beginning. He called the final tune "Morrison's". I think I learned it as Monaghan, but who am I to argue the the Bothy Band?
Perhaps the greatest and most traditional are The Chieftains. Then there are (or were, mostly) Planxty (also songs), De Danann (also songs), Clannad (their older stuff), Finbar Furey (pipes).
I have to disagree that the Chieftains are "most traditional." The point of that ensemble was to produce western art music arrangements of traditional tunes and to perform with musicians of other genres. But they're not a bad starting point for someone curious about Irish traditional music.
hahaha! the cameraman never heard a fiddle before. he could not find the fiddler under his cap! it's kevin burke playing. new cd with ged foley - in tandem. harpsicord is played by triona ni'dhomhnaill, heard her often at slatterys in dublin 1975. she did a solo-album, splendid cover design!
awsome, ive heard the tape of this record all growing up, its amazing to me to see them actually play it!!, i saw Paddy Keenan live in 2004, it was amazing very cool to see him when he was young as well.
kid on the mountain to finish...brilliant...doesnt donal lunny look like hes enjoying himself..the crowd arent bored..they were brought up on the stuff.. but that doesnt mean they werent appreciative..its a classic
Sorry for being so ignorant. I have just had very different experiences, and have been to a great many Irish concerts and gigs with "only listeners welcome". Even listeners sometimes even stir a little.

Oh, all right, who could have known that? Of course then the audience would be very quiet in order not to disturb the recording. Thanks for telling, space9888.
I do have to admit that I'm "of the old school" - where the musicians "musicate", and the audience "audiates" (or listens) - as a listener, I'm never quite comfortable being part of the performance, but as a quiet listener, I'm appreciating the music every bit as much as the guy that's "whooping" so loud that he can't hear it.
In my experience, the best compliment to an Irish group's musical craftmanship is to listen carefully to their performance and - at most - maybe tap your toe during it. This audience seems to be listening both intently and appreciatively. I don't think they're indifferent... quite the opposite.
This tune - as well as many others and especially "1975" release - make them for me the best Irish group I've heard. Thank You for posting! Wonderful to see them after hearing their tunes numerous times.

This tune - as well as many others and especially "1975" release - make them for me the best Irish group I've heard. Thank You for posting! Wonderful to see them after hearing their tunes numerous times.

Agreed! I'd say Lunasaare the only ones to come near - the rest are trying!

Back in 1975 I borrowed Old Hag l.p. and it woke me up to my Irish roots .This music is timeless.Never been the same since.
