A few of my favorite things
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVLhskUWH8Q
I think I could watch this video all day. and the next day. MaGiC at 2:36 and 3:08... gah! It gives me goosebumps and I don't know why.

And this one. The look on Edey's face.
Oh, and this one too.... McGoldrick fangirl much? I know.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4cQvvOMCUI
And if these kids would come set up camp in my living room and play all day long it wouldn't break my heart...

(Nobody in my house cares a whit. You guys will have to put up with my constant yabbering about trad I guess. Add some of your favorite youtube things for us all to share?)

- Tell us something.: Hi Nano. I was somewhat active on the Chiffboards maybe 5 or 6 years ago, participating in several whistle tours (Bracker, Hardy, Ellis). I took a break from the Chiffboards, and music mostly, for several years because I got a full-time job and had a baby. I'm easing back into the music, though (which is great, I missed it). It's good to be back!

Re: A few of my favorite things
Zac Leger, bouzouki, and Ben Jaber, pipes (probably the most exciting set I've ever heard):

Flook (listen for the variations in the final repeats where Finnegan takes his Goldie into the third octave):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVFkhqW4TJ0
The Bothy Band (classic!):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnhwIv4-d-Q
Liz Carroll and John Doyle (hard to tell which one makes your jaw drop further):

So I'm a big fan of Nuala's whistling!

What whistle is Nuala playing in that first vid?
Re: A few of my favorite things
Scots Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, and oh yeah, whistles.
Muireann and Julie (if you have to ask "Muireann and Julie who?", you're hopeless):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raOhfgsft8I
And don't ask "Mary who?", either:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdJYbOkbetQ
Bouzouki, guitar, fiddle, button accordion, flute, bodhran, and a whistle. If you think "great bodhran solo" sounds like a punchline, think again. If the whistle player looks familiar, you've probably looked at the first video in this posting.
Danu Solo Set:

I LOVE THIS! I've been listening to Julie for some time... but Muireann is new for me. I'll be looking up more of her work... Thanks for posting!Brus wrote:Scots Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, and oh yeah, whistles.

Nuala plays Goldies and Sindts. She has a collection, but, I've only seen the Goldies and Sindts.krystlepye wrote:What whistle is Nuala playing in that first vid?

Nuala plays the whistle off to the side of the mouth and smiles/laughs a lot while playing. I don't see a lot of smiling whistlers.

Re: A few of my favorite things
Here's a "Flook" track I posted a week ago, featuring Cormac Breathnach on whistle. Might be of interest.
