Irish Reels from some young players at the 2008 Convention

[PikaNugget]

I play the viola and I am level 5 ( 10th grade) I wish i could buy this music! anyone know where?

[ferndown1]

I count five fiddle players

[estebanalxvq]

I like the hobbit... :)

[901Cathy]

I played violin, that's close enough to a fiddle, and at 0:50 the girl should have her jaw in that little black chin rest or else her neck will severely hurt.

[jimmycrackcorn1981]

lol the chord of death :)

[zordzilla]

why does anyone ever think it's a good idea to have loads of fiddles playing in unison, it almost always sounds like cack!! These players are all talented but lets hear them individually.

[pastore0506]

@zordzilla

There are times when I would agree with you but not in this case. These kids play extremely well together.

[Svartalf14]

Good music, and they know their stuff already, but who's the moron had a single harp, not even metal strung, play with no less than 5 fiddles? I canna bludie hear it.

[shannonlad100]

ah, what historic musical joy

[demarezmichel]

Bravo!

[dwaynedibbly]

lol the guy on the right seems really in the zone like hes possessed. the best way to be!

[JohnnyBoxer92]

@dwaynedibbly Totally!!! hahaha

[zeverdin]

Where's me Guinness???

[jeetkd]

Set the video to 240p and you'll hear with both ears again :)

[maxwel411411411]

Awesome playing! It's like you people are the same person with the same brain. It's amazing how you can play so well at the same time and at the same time in the same position like first position, for example.

[bjoernsen07]

Dear young people- thank you for the beautifull playing. Long live the Irish people.

[palonejr]

God created whiskey,

to keep the Irish from ruling the Earth!

Bobby.....

[joebakerish]

that was outstanding. what a beautiful sound

[Elynnewith2N]

I always admired people who can play fiddle.........they're amazing

[EnterTheMind93]

@Elynnewith2N Thank You :)

[dnaivnae]

man this is some insane string work, ime highly impressed

[JustWannaRitAComment]

@FiddlerAdam Perhaps you could put your spare time to better use. Instead of criticizing young performers' playing styles you could study up on English grammar, syntax and spelling. Or maybe you think you're perfect? If so, then work on your typing and proofreading skills. Get a life, you bitter thing. The kids did not post these videos themselves and won't be reading your remarks anyway (thank goodness.) If you don't like Irish music (which this is, by the way, NOT celtic) then don't watch it.

[luap123311]

Well played to say the least -- these kids are our future!

[SigP229R]

These Kids are darn good. Our country music roots came from this but, it has gotten so far from it's roots it's barely recognizable. Just love the combination of fiddles and harp.

[chandlerlover01]

Why do I know this song?!?!?! I have never heard it before! MY grandma is Irish though and she would play Irish music to get me to go to sleep. That's it! Never mind! Hey, Nana...

[tae1822]

[amaryves]

les irlandais mes frêres et cousins de Bretagne auraient ils oubliés que les anglish les ont laissé sombrer alors qu'il n' y avait no more food in IRELAND!

[MateusVIII]

[IamaRifle]

I've never been to Nart Carolina.

[138MacGyver]

[maxfullday]

This is what the world should have. Go on, what you do is not just music. It is far deeper than that. Congrats. My heart is filled by you all.

[01amelie10]

[JosephEaorle]

[AnabaticPat]

oh my god I'm deaf in my right ear

[teddye92]

yeah y wont it play in my right speaker?

[TheFlutification]

@AnabaticPat It happened to me with my left. You probably have earwax stuck too far into your ear that you can't get it out with a Qtip. Go to the doctor and have them clean it out. For me they used a thing that loooked like a water gun and sprayed out my ear and i can hear now.

[CaptainHousty]

@AnabaticPat piss off

[jaykillen1]

@AnabaticPat I wonder this is mono.

[Cuenca20]

@AnabaticPat switch ur headset around and watch it again lolz

[Cuenca20]

@AnabaticPat switch your headset around and watch it again lolz If you're deaf in your left ear now then you're ok :p

[Valandil793]

very nice!

[puppies2love]

i do irish dancing and i also play the violin i would love to be able to play like this

[EEPIIFFAANNY]

It ended with Craig's Pipes! Wonderful!!

[Joe1729]

Er... no, that was the Sailor's Bonnet, as it says in the info.

[EEPIIFFAANNY]

So it is! My favorite 3 song medley by the Bothy Band includes the Sailor's Bonnet, the other is Craig's Pipes. I apologize for the mistake. Like 'em both!

[M147GTA]

Wonderful performance... It's nice to know that the art is being carried forward by new generations of cultural musicians.

[farisindonesia]

the first reel is really amazing...Love it....

it gives a fantastic imagination....i think of some kind of Celtic meadow with magic inside while hearing this music...adventurous music...

[00JTM]

They are pretty good

[universalbrother]

[crossvain12]
