@ZamHelga Sir, what is the exact tuning of Andy's here? Is he using waldzither tuning or mandolin?
-
It is not, of course, "As I Roved Out" (as the beginning of it says.) this is a fantastic version of The Blacksmith!

This is so awesome!
-
@astrolog7000 Andy Irvine is incredible :D
-
aww, I thought that resounding D in the instrumental was pipes getting ready for a solo. Very cool nevertheless, good auld Andy belting it out as usual :)
Anyone heard news of a comeback collaboration/tour or anything with Irvine and Tunny?
-
Yes - this is a "Hamburger Waldzither" - I have one and you can tell by the typical headstock... Great... I also love this Instrument - having my own tuning - but I enjoy the deep String - it's single - so you have 9 Strings - 4 Pairs and one Single Bass.....

Singing while playing like this is quite difficult, I can tell you that. Hendrix was good, but he was just a man, like other men, and his deification is (to my mind) a bit silly.

marvelous playing and singing. So incredibly gifted, that Andy Irvine. So much energy. Those northern latitudes, like Ireland, seem to spawn great tension and energy in their people. Here in the southern US, people are lazier and speak and sing more slowly, as it stays above 90 degrees so long in the summers.
