THIS STORY IS REAL, FIGHT ME! 🎉

I'm half Indian and half Irish, so this is perfect listening for me. It's hauntingly beautiful yet quietly meditative as you say, with a bit of a mystical air thrown in. Actually i was writing some poetry to soothe my heart and this came on by chance and it was the perfect accompaniment!

😮 👍

Meditative as these irish tunes always are. No need to rush when making music, it's a gift.

Doesn't really matter what it's origins, it's still a toe tapping winner!

The person who heard the music, while he wa out on a silent evening in coracle, a stretched canvas boat, in a deep mist, thought it was the fairies making the music. In fact, there was a pod of whales below him and their singing was amplified by the boat, which acted like a speaker and transfered the sound into the air around the boat. The tune has never been called Song of the Ghosts, someone obviously mistranslated the title.

Haunting

I have heard a number of suggestions as to where the tune came from. One story suggests that the title comes from a fiddler who was up on the mountain on Blascaod Mór, and heard the song on the wind. He heard it several times, from several directions, and decided that different tribes of fairies were playing funeral music to pay homage to the deceased King of the Fairies, so he memorized the tune. The second story I heard was that fishermen from Blascaod Mór were in a naomhóg and they heard music swell up out of the water, seeming to come from everywhere all at once. This story suggested that the sound was whale song, which was amplified by the stretched drumskin like covering and the concave shape of the naomhóg. I like both stories equally well, and I think it's a testament to storytelling, that both stories have a cultural authenticity, despite being entirely different.

A great piece. What tuning is your Hohner? Thanks

Brilliant

Fabulous music .

Very nice, what key is accordion 😂

I do this with trumpet 🐬

Where to fina and buy a shouting box? I love this.

I thought merrily kiss the quaker was a slide

A beautiful song. Listen to the late Robin Gibb singing this song. His version is the standard!

Just like my peepaw used to play it, but with a handsomer beard. 🧔‍♂

Thats gorgeously gorgeous! Thank you. 💚

I think even the ancestors would be shedding a tear on that one, Shane. The tone of that brass is so lovely, and your playing is sublime. Just the perfect amount of drag when sliding into those top notes. I just learned of this very traditional piece in the last year, and it instantly became a favourite. You have done it proud. 👍🇨🇦

What is the instrument you are controlling with your foot? I havent seen one of those and find it fascination.

this slaps

Wonderfully arranged and perfectly played! Will use it to cover it with my LowD.👍

Super schön gespielt. Das möchte ich auch spielen. Danke für euer Video.

Very nice! I played with my bouzouki, enjoyed a lot!

This is in E not D

if you mic the whistle lower dow and slightly turn the mic away you get less harshness from the fipple

i’ve been doing this for many years….. never had a pedal though, that’s a serious game changer!

Go hálainn.

Beautiful

Haven't seen that colour on MK Pro before. Brown? Ochre? But sounds like my green MK pro haha. Love it. And as has already been said in the comments, sounds great with the shruti drone.

Merci beaucoup! What kind of tin whistle? is that brass or something? Thanks! et à la prochaine!

There is so much warmth in your playing, it touches my heart

Ah, the "piper's grip" and the harmonium! Have one myself. Well done!

So great!!

Love it

Great sounding low whistle! Who’s the maker?

What a soothing tune. Well done! :)

Special song, band, and MEJ!😊 from Maine

Nice ! The Manx word "Ellan" uses the Welsh orthography, and is properly pronounced something similar to "ellyan", but it's a lovely rendition of the song.

Heard this first on Manx Radio. Great performance! I've been learning the song on tin whistle but can never make it sound as full and melodic as you. Any chance we can get the tabs? Gura mie ayd!

Love it! ❤

Nice performance 👏🏼

Oh wow, this is a song I feel like I must play. Does anyone have the tabs? I've been searching without success.
