  • Matt Molloy is perfection on the flute: his breathing, ornamentation and rthym.

  • The playing is fantastic, but my God, boys, look at the hair! What has 40 years done to us all?!?!?!?!?

  • Thanks for this fantastic moment. Never seen Matt Molloy with so much hair before. : -)

    Billy Brocker's - The Humous of Loughrea - The Laurel Tree

  • Hey! Great music - does anyone know the names of each of the tunes? cheers!

  • Paddy Keenan is surely the best Uillean Pipe musician I've never heard.

    He is skill and accurate, and places so nice ornamentation that his acting is a perfection. So perfect is Matt Molloy too ...

  • I've discovered the music of Bothy Band when I was about seventeen, with my father who was a great fan of Irish music. If you've never gone in an Irish Pub around the western coast, or Connemara, or Donegal, you have never felt the community and the brotherhood of those little bands of friends who plays there. That's Ireland ...

  • @piobairesicago The clavinet has a great introduction to one number. The way its played reminds me of the Lisa Simpson jazz quote - listen to the silent notes. Great range of sounds, speed, voices

  • @fcas2y6 I would say Paddy Keenan is (was) the star of the Bothies but I'm biased, being an exponent of the ol' wooden octopus meself

  • The keyboard is a "clavinet" a sort of upright downsized harpsichord

  • kevin burke is a star of the Bothy Band and he can sing also.
