Vraiment fantastique! But was it definitely a victorious return from Fingal, as oneof the versions I have, by Irish group Cran, sounds more like a lament - played on the uillean pipes? But Lunasa's version sounds on the happier side; so which would be the more authentic? Or does it really matter when it's played so beautifully as in this video?
I've loved this song forever, finally thought to look it up. As his stuff goes, this looks fairly do-able. And what a good guy, his spirit sets his playing apart. He and Steve Morse are my heros, towering monsters of positive music with admirable humility. Thanks Pierre!
Having played for over 35 years (self-taught, then classically trained with a degree in classical guitar) I decided to get Pierre's "take" on a new approach to the instrument (tunings, etc.) I received the Guitar Book recently and already am learning to appreciate the instrument in a brand new way. It has enlightened me and broadened my musical scope. Thank you, Pierre!
This ought to have a million views, I don't care if you're Gaelic or not.
