great player :D

[shankandbrisket]

Superb!

Eamonn's a great player. Its true that the second tune is difficult but fully playable on the simple system flute. Eamonn plays it in D so all the notes fit melodically within the flutes range and, as demonstrated, the fit within the octave range too, if you're good enough!

[cwildeky]

Wonderful, just wonderful. Thank you!

To me it seems as far as key work goes hes only sliding up from the Bb flat key at the end of the B part. other than that he's going into the third octave for a bit of spice.

wow, truly inspiring (and oddly frustrating at the same time) Great clip!

Brilliant playing. The second tune is very difficult. It would have been thoughtful had the idiot cameraman, or the director, thought to show us how Eamonn used the keys rather than showing us his sister vamping away.
