Lunasa - Bucks Of Oranmore

[shtory1]

Incredible.

[hEireannSeanan]

Dé-diabhal ceoil is fearr chuala mé riamh!!!

[peneleapai]

magic stuff!

aaaaaah

[christopherson9513]

Smyth just killed the Bucks of Oranmore ('killed' in a good way)! Lunasa has stellar musicians all around, but Sean Smyth's playing interludes are heaven-like- the technique! the silky smoothness!

[Paudyis]

I don't think I've ever heard any fiddle player play Paddy Ryan's Dream as well as Sean Smyth, his playing is just perfect for it (well probably perfect for a lot of tunes!). Bucks sounds like it's in A allright, Paddy Ryan's is in Am

[DiddleLe]

unbelievable guitar playing as well....just fantastic!

[markbarsamian]

Amazing fiddle playing!

[StanleyDonwood]

whats the tunes called?

[josecalcru1]

top class as always 5*

[caoimhin1111]

Best fiddler in ireland. Awesome musician

[willy0275]

Anyhow, the real tune here isn't Bucks of Oranmore, it's Paddy Ryan's Dream, a kickass reel, one of my all time favorite that gives me shivers.

[TheT1492]

@willy0275 Actually there are three tunes. A jig and two reels the last of which is the Bucks of Oranmore.

[christoph9512]

does anyone know what key he is playing bucks of oranmore in?

[willy0275]

Well, I'm a bit clueless about music theory but I'd say this tune is played in A major!? To play this tune on a whistle using the same fingering I'd use on a D whistle, I need to play it on my A whistle. Interestingly, there's a G# in A major, but this would be the equivalent to C# in D major... and I just noticed that Bucks of Oranmore doesn't have any C# (when played in D). Interesting.

[boxplayer2]

the bucks is usually played in D.

[tommy66toffee]

Sounds like it's A major (as willy0275 posted earlier) - would have to listen to it again though, to be ceratin

[thomasb90]

bucks of oranmore....one of the best reels

[mzQsindr0me]

on topic: wonderfull band... !!!! keep doin' the good shit !

of topic: seams one gelous guy keep markin' the comments as bad...yeah, get a life loser !

[Hogie506]

I love Lúnasa, but I think they just didn't do enough justice to the last tune. That needed to be one for the whole group, tearin the arse off it! Not a lot of feelin if ye ask me... (yes, i feel like a traitior critisising the greats).. :(

[arevaci85]

one of the best irish band that i had ever known.Thanks for upload

[Narnianpotterfan]

I saw this band and got the signature on a CD!!!

[Xerxes4242]

I got signatures on 6 CDs and a book! They seemed both happy and annoyed to have to sign that much;)

[jbxxty]

hard to beat that

[rharmaning]

When the heck is Lunasa going to put out a DVD?!? I'm tired of all these crappy youtube clips :)

[celticmarine1]

Chapel Bells sounded fantastic!

[Ianscot4141]

ALBANNACH!!!

[kingofcelts]

Eireannach!!

[Xerxes4242]

Scurrich?

(Doesn't know a word of Irish)

[emncaity]

Eireannach = Irish. As in, Tabhair pog dom, is Eireannach me.

[Hogie506]

Gaelach!! Ceiltiach!!

[skara100]

[skara100]

1st = Chapel bells ! Haha..Kevin remembers the old B'ham sets alright! I'm sure Long Acre (long,long time ago) used to play this (&2nd = Paddy Ryan's)...thanks for posting
