What glorious playing! Simply beautiful.

[chanteysing]

Beautiful playing! I remember Patsy Reid from Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddle camp in California, 2000. She has really come into her own as a very fine fiddler, and I love the harp playing.

[maureenderry]

Thanks for commenting. Yes, Patsy is a very fine player....the harper is my son Declan,,,,they met at University and worked quite a lot together.

[joh73]

[maureenderry]

You are welcome.

[irynko]

Such a wonderful piece and absolutely stunning performance!!! Excellent job, guys!!! My congratulations on this marvelous playing!!!

[maureenderry]

I shall pass your lovely comment on to Declan. I love this piece myself and it shows the fiddle and harp at their best.

[Love2harp]

This is the most beautiful air.....and Declan & Patsy enhanced the beauty of this song with their wonderful blend of talent. I would like to know where I can get a copy of this song for solo harp.....I have been searching the web with no luck so far. Also.....would love to purchase this CD.....where can I purchase this and any of Declan's CD's? Thanks for posting this video Maureen : )

[maureenderry]

Patsy has a CD called 'Complements' I think you should get some information about it if you google her name Patsy Reid. Declan is playing with her in this CD but he has not yet recorded his own .. If you get in touch with me through messages I can send you a few of his pieces which I will put unto CD .

[jamaot]

[pheona1000]

A beautiful arrangement where the fiddle and clarsach compliment eacher really well and are not trying to compete with each other.

[maureenderry]

I agree. Declan and Patsy work very well together.

[mactcampbell]

Commendable performance. I've got the sheet music and tried it but I have to admit, I've been so humbled by these two that I am having jitters.

[maureenderry]

You can feel the way they know each other here. Lovely

[Derventio74]

Delightful haunting melody, and what a beautiful combination of instruments. The scenery in the video completes the perfection.

[bmcneese45a]

Hauntingly beautiful. Yes, please post more from Patsy's CD.

[WhistlingPaddy]

Nice combination :)

[Amiduffer]

Yes, quite pretty.

[UISTMAN59]

Wonderfully talented musicians. *****

[maureenderry]

Yes. Declan is my son and he is fairly well established in Glasgow now (teaching harp and playing harp and singing with guitar) and Patsy teaches music in the North of Scotland and plays in a band called Braebach. It is great to see young people using their talents.

[seonidh]

Isnt the Clarsach a scottish instrument too?

[maureenderry]

Yes indeed.

[seonidh]

I've seen them being played on a scottish Gaelic T.V. show. Wonderful instrument, I love Scotland and Ireland.

[chrislofotos]

What a lovely and beautifully played romantic air; they are both obviousley very talented musicians.

Chris

[celticmama74]
