The Glasgow Reel and Missing Time.

[alibalib100]

This is absolutely amazing! If only i could play scottish music that good... oh well someday!

[kayjustkay]

FYI ex scot living in NJ, USA. Always throw this on at parties to show people what real Scottish music like. None o' yer pish!

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

I see the next world champion here!

[scotlandsnoone]

@GoldenOldies60and70s - Personally wouldn't go that far! But THANKS! Very much appreciate comments of such great stature. Wullie.

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

I see the next word champion here!

[Lislorien]

'S math sin!!! I am coming back to Scotland. My g-grandad plays as well and you have just lit my fire for me to get back into my irish whistle! God I am ashamed of myself. Thanks for the fire. Great version.

[scotlandsnoone]

@Lislorien - Thanks a lot. These tunes have a real feel good factor to them! Always make me want to have a good tune whenever i hear/play them. Thanks again.

[scotlandsnoone]

@Lislorien - Thanks a lot. These tunes have a real feel good factor to them! Always make me want to have a good tune whenever i hear/play them. Thanks again.

[potofgoldchocolates]

I enjoyed this very much :]

[scotlandsnoone]

@potofgoldchocolates - Two of my favourite tunes! Thanks for commenting, Glad you enjoyed!

[schlenkerla123]

the speed just rocks and makes it the best version of these reels i found on youtube

i cant even move my fingers that fast without playing an instrument.

just AWESOME how the americans would say

more of this!!!

[scotlandsnoone]

@schlenkerla123 - I have to admit. Two of my favourite tunes! Just love playing them as I can get right into them. Thank you for this comment!!

[Gestapo1940]

If you excuse me, I have to pick up my skull fragments from the other side of the room.

[scotlandsnoone]

@Gestapo1940 - Haha. Seems a little over the top, but I am very glad you enjoyed the video! Wullie.

[pgpgribben]

jesus that boys flat out!!!!!!!!!!

[scotlandsnoone]

@pgpgribben - Very much appreciate this comment. Makes it all the more worthwhile making these videos. Thanks.

[pgpgribben]

@scotlandsnoone no bother at all sir !! class playing!!!

[pgpgribben]

@scotlandsnoone no bother at all sir!! class playing!!!

[jenx0x123]

Very good but I'd say slow down a little on the Tam Lin.. it's a bit fast..

[scotlandsnoone]

@jenx0x123 - To be fair slowing down one tune would mean slowing down the other, and in this video I feel the speed isnt too bad. Comments are appreciated all the same, Thanks a lot. Wullie.

[jenx0x123]

@scotlandsnoone Yeah fair point.. Very well done though :) 

[8irger]

skills - and a nice melody

[scotlandsnoone]

@8irger - Thanks. They are both great tunes. I just play them the way i want them to be played.

[bped93]

This is insane. I've Irish Danced for 10 years and performed with bands as high up as the Chieftans. And this is rivaling the stuff they produce. Great job! And you're correct.... you're timing is spot on.

[scotlandsnoone]

@bped93 - Thanks A lot. Thats a huge compliment! Cheers again, Wullie.

[Wilferoo]

Who is the second tune by? Richard Wong is it?

[scotlandsnoone]

@Wilferoo - Yeah. Richard Wong wrote the second tune 'Missing Time'. Great Tune!

[Breizh07]

appropriate to play different speeds for different occassions , but makes tunes sound so completely different

great tunes!

pretty nifty playing !!!!!!!!!!!

bravo

( gonna listen to your calliope house now - have a recording of the Tolka?)

and subscribe

MACHINE GUN accordeon , no mean feat.

ta x

[vlahojohn]

your accordion skill is extremely good for your age! im not an accordion player but im musician, my opinion....: PERFECT

[scotlandsnoone]

@vlahojohn - Thank you very much. Not sure about being perfect though. Wullie.

[FarmerBob01057]

Absolutely Amazing. As a fellow accordionist I say Bravo! I just wish there was readily available sheet music for these pieces, especially missing time! Keep up the great work!

[scotlandsnoone]

@FarmerBob01057 - Thanks you! Very true, I don't have sheet music for either of these tunes. Shame really. Great tunes.

[Socrates2851]

Amazing! You are incredibly talented, thank you so much for playing this and for having such great audio. Most of the videos I have seen have not had very good audio.

[scotlandsnoone]

@Socrates2851 - Thank you. Very much appreciated!

[onearmfrog]

Amazing playing. Amazing. I agree though.. needs to be slowed down :)

[scotlandsnoone]

@onearmfrog - Thanks, the speed issue is personal opinion. I feel this is a good speed for reels. Although possibly not suitable for dancing. Wullie.

[LoganCoatsMusic]

Awesome!!!!

[derail14]

Very good & nice quick left hand staccto, Gezzzz and i thought i played fast.

[pricelessany]

oh.... I love you boy! That's a perfect playing!

[scotlandsnoone]

@pricelessany - Thanks for the kind remarks. So glad you enjoyed this video.

[98Vr6GTI]

Holy shit.

[98Vr6GTI]

Holy shit.

[christopherboy97]

slow it down again!!!!!!!!!!

[scotlandsnoone]

@christopherboy97 - I personally think in this video, im playing the tunes at a good speed. Whereas with my harvest home/High level video im playing really fast (which is intentional), I dont think im pushing the bounderies in terms of speed with these tunes.

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

@christopherboy97 ...This reel is plated professionalally in the right tempo, and the speed is perfect for the reel. First you get good and then you get fast and this young man surpasses that !

[klaaslzn]

What more is there to say Wully ,...you are an exceptional talented musician ,

Awesome !!

Klaas ,

[Cheshirek26]

FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES

[maricw]

ur class ! :D

[paddymac81]

best accordian playin' i ever heard.....perfect timing

[gaarocks1]

thats talent 4 ya!

[Bigryan8070]

r u in a Cielidh band ? or in a comhaltis group coz u wood b an all Ireland champion

[isdisnametaken]

@Bigryan8070 serious? I judge the comhaltas on accordion and this wouldnt come no where near first.. dont get me wrong.. he is a serious player but for comhaltas you need control and timing .. all of which this lad doesnt have.. very nice scottish style but not good nuff for irish all ireland comhaltas.. but as already stated it is a matter of opinion.. has potential tho.

[scotlandsnoone]

@isdisnametaken - I agree that possibly in this video I'm going all out with the tunes.. But to claim I don't have control or timing is a little harsh. I take pride in the fact that I can control tunes when it is needed and my timing has also never been criticised too highly. As you say it is only your opinion.

[clevermusicsham]

tamlinn great tune,, also co wrote by george furey,,,

[sincerelypink]

This makes me so friggin happy. Amazing. last 20 seconds are just blisssssss.

[supernoddy13]

dude i can nver get that second bit in the glasgow reel......those like twidley finger bits always fuck me up..

[kutking90]

@supernoddy13 well playing accordeon is always cool!

[kutking90]

@supernoddy13 and the first bit isnt easy to me :p

[theMaryk1]

You are so amazing! I got an accordion for Christmas and am learning tunes and every time i look at you playing I think shit! how am I every going to play like that . Hat of to you big time

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

Please slow it down to 6/8 time so we can follow on pipes and accordion?

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

You amaze me!!! I have a Hohner Morino V and cannot keep up to you! You are indeed on the way to be a world championship accordionist!!! 5 +++

[xTradHeadx]

Unreal!

[harrycarry250]

[christinajl]

so fast! awesome!

[MedicatingPerfection]

Maybe you should slow them down a touch?

IDK if they have Devil's dream for accordian, but it's a fiddle tune and the point if to play it as fast as possible, try that one maybe?

[heckogress]

do you have the written music to missing time?

[scotlandsnoone]

unfortunately I don't have a copy. Very Sorry, thanks for the comment.

[irishdancer4eva]

i think you should play it a little slower so i can dance to it :L

thanks

[Irish93dancer]

Could you maybe play this a bit slower so that i could learn it please :)

[Irish93dancer]

This is amazing !!!! My two favourite songs :)

I want to learn missing time on piano cause i can already play glasgow reel :) this gives you a total buzz when you dance to these songs :)

[depreschn]

Ok. Thank you... It really is an awsome song. :)

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

Excellent job! With fingering techniques like you have, playing the Flying Scotsman would be a walk in the park. 5's+

[accordionmusic]

5*****s

[thefiddlerliveshere]

I love Missing Time!! what an amazing tune!

[depreschn]

Hey.. Awsome playing. Great technique and all.
