From North America, Irish fiddle player Eugene Bender

The Hilton Hotel Parsippany was the venue for the Comhaltas North American Convention from 26th to 30th March 2008. There was a huge turnout of musicians, singers and dancers from all over North America as well as from Ireland, England and several other countries.

Eugene Bender from New York was one of the hundreds of very talented young musicians who attended the 2008 Convention. Eugene played the reels: "Paddy Ryan's dream" and an Ed Reavy composition: "Never was piping so gay". Eugene learned much of his music from Brian Conway.

@dwaynedibbly For most people they don't define who they are by how they dress or how they look. If you want Justin Bieber then there are other clips. How about you stop being superficial.

Are the seven people who disliked this video deaf?

[hamburg833]

Its hilarious the way he says "north" it sounds like he's saying "nart"

[dwaynedibbly]

great playing but ive wondered why in all these videos the kids look like they have come out of a time machine from the early part of last century with their dress and style?

@sk8er4life67 If you're only playing in 1st position, why does posture matter? Look at Martin Hayes, one of the best fiddlers in the world and his posture isn't much better than this young man"s.
