The second tune in this set is the one I refer to... The first tune, Ar Éireann Ní Neosfainn Cé Hí, is amazing as well, but the second tune just makes my soul soar to some new heights... that is, it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. No idea about a name or anything, just know that it was written by Brian, and he plays it on an Olwell Ab flute.

Ahh, now I will listen again and....

that took me to a place I have never been. I dont know much about this man, but every time I see him on youtube, I really really like him. He seems like a very nice person as well. thank you for sharing this video.

Almost as good as Wrong Foot Forward

[benhall.1]

Personally ... I had to switch it off ... but each to his/her own I guess ...

[Ballyshannon]

Hey....with Brian, it's all good.

[MusicalADD]

At the risk of stating the potentially obvious....

If you like the 2nd tune, you will probably enjoy Flook's cds. I enjoyed, uh, Rubai I think was the name of one of their CDs? The one that ends with "Conlagh's Big Day."

And as for the 1st tune, it's a song actually, if you're interested, see Dervish's "Live at Palma."

Well, I think I'm already known for not being a Finnegan fan..... and that clip doesn't do it for me either..... The air is nicely enough done, technically very good if unremarkable interpretatively (certainly doesn't move me, and I'm not hard to move emotionally by music), but the ensuing "tune" is just one of those mushy, aimless, semi-improvisatory (in origin at least) things - unlike Ben I stuck it almost to the end, but I won't be back for more.

Which proves nothing save that taste is personal! At least there's no gratuitous triple tonguing!

So, having lived.........

"Life, don't talk to me about Life!"

i quite liked it,
if somone gets round to transcribing and naming it ill learn it jest because its one of those nice non-cheesey uplifting bouncey songs which are sadley absent from my repitoire.

Chris, Chris, it IS NOT A "SONG"! (The second, faster bit, that is.) It is a TUNE. (Well, it's kinda trying to be one and not quite making it..... )
I'm afraid to me it really is cheesy (again, not the trad air that comes first) - just a faster version of pseudo-Celtic Ambience burble - and I didn't find it bouncy either, sorry!

I called these "rants" in a different thread, but "cheesy burble" has a nice ring to it, too.

Mind you, I do like cheese. But not as a steady diet. (Or a steady diet of anything, actually).

I haven't listened to it yet, but I think we have the makings of an excellent parlour game here. One person describes three tunes, then we can listen to the recordings and see if we can work out which description fits which tune.

Yeah, but with a billing like that, I'm sure to be disappointed. I'll save it for a rainy day...
