The Great and Awesome Flute Youtube Thread

Phil McCusker, Brian Finnegan, Anna Massie and Phil Cunningham.

My wife and I were at the coast this past weekend and wandered into a thrift store. I spotted a few cds and found one with this guy holding a fiddle. The guy had a mohawk, and I thought, "That looks interesting."

Anyway, it's a great cd. I'd never heard of John McCusker, so I googled him and found this video:

I have to agree with you on the payday thing. Last session, I got stuck between the piper and bodhran player. I never heard a note I played, or even if I managed to.

Here's a nice one from Welsh fluter Ceri Rhys Matthews with Christine Cooper on fiddle: 'Miss Cambilina's Delight' and 'The Guilded Room'

Ceri's flute is a large-holed R&R style 4-key by the late Dave Williams.

and some more duet sound clips are on Ceri's website: www.yscolan.info

Two Jigs - 'Miss Cambilina's Delight' and 'The Guilded Room' (same as the video clip)

Through Bushes and Through Briars (song - no flute)

I really want to like this, having liked just about everything else I've ever heard from the man... But it sounds to me like they're not quite together, and he seems to rush through a lot of his phrases and to my ears it sounds like he's accidentally overblowing the flute at times. Am I missing something?

Edit: My comments refer to the video.
