Just sat staring at my computer screen whispering "Goddamn" repeatedly for a minute straight after I was done with this video. "Goddamn".

Great music from a great band

[duncaolog]

3:13 reminds me of The Primrose Lassies

[Greedouw]

beautiful tune; any idea what the name of the tune is played during the credits?

[forconi86]

the firtst one with the bagpipe (hte same in the beginning) is for sure "the swallow's tail"



[Daisycreme]

Does anyone know the name of any of the tunes? So beautiful.

[Brigantae]

Really good playing from two of the most talented players. It reminds me a little of when a young Alasdiar joined the band ....is it 10 years ago now?

The video, highlights the difference between using a pick-up and a mic on a fiddle. In my view the pick up just can't reproduce the sound the instrument makes and I know Alasdair's fiddle sounds great acoustically. Sorry Alasdair but it's time to get a mic.

@Brigantae "Sorry Alasdair but it's time to get a mic." Yes - such a great musician and you spoil it with poor amplification :-(

I saw them last night in Pittsburgh (Nov. 13). Great show and incredible talents. The concert was thrilling to say the least.

[mdlane3]

Blazing good!

[purplemailbox]

Great fiddling. Does anyone know the name of the second tune?

[owainyebastards]

@purplemailbox dunno but its on Blazin fiddles live CD

[owainyebastards]

@owainyebastards the tune is 'I laid a herring' -i think

[SlainteSteve]
