  • Excellent , beautiful tone and flawless playing !!

  • Anyone know the name of the first tune? The overall rendition is such a well-done work, expressive, lively, and impressive. Bravo. Nice fiddle too. Great backup by her brother.

    to all those who comment on the facial expression of trad Irish players - it's the custom to maintain a neutral expression so as not to visually distract from the intensity of the music itself - ideally, you'd be better off as a listener to close your eyes or look at the ground so you could better lock into the hypnotic mood of the music.

    It's a bit like classical ballet - would you expect the ballerina to have a grin on her face the whole time?

    It's The House in the Glen or The Morning Lark (among other titles). Search at the irishtune or thesession websites. Youtube won't allow me to post the URLs, but after the dot they are info and org, respectively.

  • reply to MrBluegrassfiddler

    The first tune is known as "Hardiman's Fancy"; I know the tune very well because I have an old tape of the famous Galway-based Shaskeen band ("Atlantic Breeze").
