Fred Finn & Peter Horan-Irish Fiddle & Flute-Reel

[AlphaCelt]

What is the second reel that is played? Thanks in advance!

[dazpatreg]

Without Sligo and Roscommon there would be no Irish traditional music. We might have fuck all else but at least we have the music!

[HonkyTonkCanuck]

Cream of the crop! These two are TRUE Irishmen! Love it!

[Domitianvs]

I wonder who the TV genius is that put his name as being "Peter Finn"...

[mauricejudge]

this is the last of a generation...we'll never see their like again

[Lisnageeragh]

@mauricejudge I.m afraid we won't great music then ...as Peter might say ''beautiful music''!

[pfraterdeus]

Oh yeah, the pure drop indeed!

[garnett666]

Fred Finn is my realtive :D!

[PadhraicinN]

Peter was an inspiration and a gentleman, who lived for his music!

It would be nice to think they are playing together again in a mighty session with some of the other Sligo legends.

[Lisnageeragh]

Sad to hear of Peter being gone ...he was a legend.

These men had a great sense of mleody ..even if they were not always the most accurate in their excution ...younger players should be given a greater insight into their playing style ..particulaly it's musicality and sweetness of sound.

[schaumorgenrot]

Very sad to hear Peter has passed away. I was lucky to have met him - the most generous man and a great musician, needless to say. I hope he joins Fred Finn up there and they play away....

[edelahaye]

R.I.P. Peter...

[RockyRoader]

Great clip. Sad to hear of Peter's passing today. I was lucky enough to play at sessions with him at Charlestown and Feakle. A true gent, a great player.

And a big fan of the bodhran, cocusflute!

RIP Peter Horan, thanks for the music.

[clarebannerman]

Go ndéana Dia trocaire ar a anam.

[othannen]

Two very fine musicians. RIP

[drumskinney1]

RIP Peter Horan

[TheBunnieman]

Saddened at the passing of Peter today, him and Fred put Killavil on the map but no doubt theres a good session going on up above!!!

[Lisnageeragh]

Peter has a great flute sound across the range of his playing ...not harsh but with good presence.

Also note the ''non smiling'' embuchure ....see James Galway's  lesson on utube for comments!

[imaginaryteaparty]

Just totally full of life. Amazing, amazing music.

[seanhughesfiddle]

fantastic stuff

[tightropetomg]

Jaysus, Peter hasn't aged much in 25 years, has he? Still smoking Sweet Afton and drinking Guinness! Mighty stuff!

[robtourlestrane]

[orebenza8]

@robtourlestrane rlly cool

[clarebannerman]

Little bit of a shlip going into the second reel but everything turned out fine in the end. Lovely clip 5*****

[beandolan]

Played with Peter at the weekend down in Carrig On Bannow. Absolutely savage, still savage after all these years! :)

[7danielradcliffe7]

what are the tunes called?

[rare1oh]

This made my morning! Thank you!

[UISTMAN59]

NIce, lively but unhurried style. Perfect. *****

[clarebannerman]

Brilliant musicians. Remember seeing the two of them playing in a pub in Boyle, Co Roscommon in the 70's. ♪♫

[Starlysh]

I keep watching these Irish reel videos and no one seems to wipe the rosin on the violin away. Crazy.

They're all talented though.

[dxman233]

oh , the we lads i love them so . just make sure you look out for the little people

[jihadster]

wow, you're an idiot!

[osamalet]

as a Turk, I love traditional Irish music so much!!

[wbajzek]

I never get tired of this.

[celticmarine1]

Right on!

[mickbeater]

These lads played at my parents wedding in 1971.

[patannwalsh2005]

so delighted to see this video as I remember fred and peter well fred ewas a cousin of mine

fantastic musicians

[voodooflute]

Don't know the third one though.

[voodooflute]

Tunes are Mulhaire's and Music in the Glen.

[dirtyfiddle]

The third tune is McFadden's Favorite

[naisenrab]

Applause

[BardofCornwall]

Quite nice, and the clip's as old as I am!

[Andyras1]

I really enjoy this clip and have learned the first tune, any got any more like this.

[mactcampbell]

Congratulations from across the atlantic. Superb & seemingly effortless.

Name of Tunes Anyone??

[fiddle4u]

tHIS IS TRUE GREAT IRISH MUSIC STYLE,,LAST

TIME I HEARED MUSIC OF THIS POWER, WAS IN A SESSION WITH BED LENNON..

JIM,

[PatriciaFinnThornton]

What a remarkable and wonderful video. What a gift from the past. Thank-you for posting it!

[bodhrankid]

This is a great video. I often meet Peter Horan at music sessions, and I can't wait to tell him I've seen him on "youtube"

[niamh68]

Hi. Maybe you also know Frank Jordan? I Would love to watch him play! Somebody PLEASE put him on YouTube too!!!!

[blakepgh]

That's some seriously polished playing... phenomenal.

[colld86]

The real deal!

[0863357182]

It's Great to see my uncle FRED Finn on this. I'm living in the home area of Killavil where these two musicians are from and Peter Horan is still going strong. What a mighty duo. But they could at least get the names right

[cocusflute]

The best. Absolutely. The pure drop, the real stuff.

No bullshit guitar or bodhran to clutter things up.

Doesn't get any better.

(That's De Niro and Elvis in the background)

[banjofiddlee]

I have always thought that the two 70s-coke-dealer-chic dudes in the back just have a sort of helpless, painfully out-of-place vibe to them; especially the disco lizard with the shades. They have a look like "what the? how did we end up here getting filmed with these old Irish dudes?...Oh well might as well make the best of it and give a listen." lol

[Deirdre4Naoise]

isn´t that good music...!

[kdl8204]

瓦达发科 厚帮吃一地也特 i love it~

[Legacyrxawd]

How lovely to hear these two playing again! Fred and Peter were a renowned duet until Fred's death in January 1986, but Peter is still going strong on both flute and fiddle. He even flew to America to celebrate his 80th birthday last year.

[bobbrode314]

If I was a great boxer this is what would be playing when I entered the ring

[fop27]

I want to sit in Mcdaid's pub and listen to this( what a cliché, i know!)

[Fireheart228]

I'm surprised no one's commented for a month! All we do is sit on our computers all day! I mean, where is the joy in life without art? Without music? No where to be found!

[gwyguy]

I heard these superb musicians more than once when I was a wee scrawny boy, totally in awe of them then and now. Martin Mulhaire's, The Music in the Glen and McFadden's are the tune names.

[zencaper]

Wonderful playing

[dirtyfiddle]

Fiddlers don't clean the rosing off. This stuff makes life good!!

[Kaggr]

Amazing. I play both flute and violin, but I haven't tried fiddle stuff on either of them. I thought I was bad at getting the rosin off of my violin. XDD

[clarebannerman]

Lovely music from two great musicians played in the beautiful Sligo style. Remember a session in a pub in Boyle, County Roscommon with these two boys many moons ago.

[scarlotte13]

Remarkable video. I've listened to it every day since I stumbled across it on you tube.

[belcatar]

Is Peter Horan related to Winnifred Horan of Solas?

[Shotgunlemming]

Its not everything thats good about ireland, but its an important part. Those guys are really impressive.

[Ptarmi]

Thanks for posting this.

The other two tunes are 'Music in the Glen' & 'McFadden's'

[andelh]

After listening through once more I founnd out that first one was Mulhaire's, anyone that have a name for the two other. I've heard the second before, but can't name it

[andelh]

anyone that the name of the tunes?

[sopf]

ya it is fred

[Rickupinoft]

Isn't that Fred Finn on fiddle? I think Peter Finn was a mistake.
