The O'Connor's bar in Doolin - a pilgrimage for anyone who loves Irish music... What a beautiful place and time.
So cool. I love this kind of music. Celtic music is so nice and fun. I'm brazilian but i think that i have some celtic blood in my veins from Portugal. i love the sound. Celtic culture is great. Well i live in legendary Hy Brazil. ;D
I like the term "Celtic Music". I'm from Ireland and the music is strong here but the great news is that we're part of a much larger community. The catastrophic Famine of the mid 1800s send millions of Irish to America, Britain, and elsewhere many of whom were musicians. A large part of Scotland shares the Gaelic language and music with Ireland for over 1000 years.
Reels such as "Miss McCleod of Rassay", "Bonnie Kate" etc are Scottish.
North England is very strong in its own music tradition - many hornpipes such as "Harvest Home" etc are English and are very popular in Ireland.
We also share in the culture of Wales, N. E. France, North Spain and as you pointed out, Portugal.
Scotch/Irish Migrants from North Ireland in the late 17th and early 18th Centuries established the "Country" musical culture of the American Appalacians. Long live Keltic Music!
The clip was taken in an old Irish village. It's changed a lot now, but how wonderful it would have been 25 years ago to have been sitting around the fire in O'Connors pub listening to the sweet music of the Russell brothers .. You can see their pictures around the musicians in this clip. Doolin was truly a special place.

Irish music, powerful in its fragility...Gosh, love it!
G-d bless ya.You bring joy to us all.
Excellent, personally I think the way you look after your fiddles is your business, I think the music is Great!
I adore sessions. They are such chilled and relaxed affairs. Just musicians strutting their stuff with no tension. Love it :)
I'm not sure why, but it's totally normal for traditional fiddlers to leave the rosin there like that.
The second tune is called The Sandman Reel
Superb music ! Thanks
Delightful music & video! Great players infusing the tunes with lots of energy!!!
Question: What are the names of the tunes? I've participated in many Irish sessions & heard a couple of them before, but would love to know their names.
Thanks in advance!
Peter
Sounds like a fabulous session and excellent musicians.
I absolutely love the last one. Everything comes together like magic...beyond equal....I play it over and over here in Gaway when the weather etc brings me down.👍👍👍👍
My life is complete !!!! =)
Love this music.
TheSession says it is actually the Mick Hand's Reel.
great musicians..Majella Bartley has been my online teacher for the past year. thru the online academy..love it!
superlative stuff. Soulfood.
Delighted you like it, thanks!
An-Deas!!!
Lovely music! I've learned the flute part from the video and i love playing it!
Beautiful!!!
Brilliant tunes ..... Love playing the 1st one! As you can prob notice I'm really bad with names of tunes LOL :)
Now I have inspiration when I don't feel entirely like playing my tin whistle.
very nice we realey enjoyed it thanks!
I can't remember the name of the second tune, but the third one sometimes goes by "Mulhaire's" (maybe "Mulhaire's #9"? There are a bunch of Mulhaire's tunes)
Lovely stuff, Kirsten! Keep 'er lit! :-)
awesome. Loved this
An Indian :)

Great stuff!
It never fails to get me in A good mood it even makes the beer taste better, eighteen days till St. Pats. Curraheered
Very good! You've made me want to play italian tamburine on it :-)
Hi All, Thanks for all your likes and comments .. Please feel free to ask any Irish music related questions, and we'll get an answer to you straight away!
This is a little bit random, but do you know if there's anything you can do to keep a bodhran head from splitting besides keeping it away from extremes of temperature? Some people have suggested lanolin but others are really against it. Any thoughts?
Alexandra Casser You must make sure the drum is always stored out of direct sunlight, whenever it is not supervised, including out of view of the window, even when stored in a bag.
Here in county Clare, I don't put anything on the drum, but some people do in order to moisturise the skin as it may tear from the tacks if too dry. Neetsfoot oil, lanolin (found in sheep's wool), or even a good moisturizing hand cream are all recommendations that I've come across.
You could keep your bodhran tied in a large garbage bag along with a damp cloth or sponge. This creates a humid micro climate in which the skin of the drum can relax.
Let us know how you get along!
Alexandra Casser I hope you got your problem sorted. I've been playing bodhran for 30 years and I always store it is a dry cool place under the stairs - away from sunlight, central heating etc. I also frequently spread water evenly on the skin when it gets too tight in order to bring down the tone. Small amount of water on both sides spread with your hand
Yes! 1 question heck you have made my day can you teach our Irish pub what Irish music is all about:::::))))))) I've tried::::)))
We're still talking rosin dust here, not the fiddler's hand I hope! :-)
lovely music! thanks! can you tel me the name of the first tune?
So darn good. 👍👍
Thanks - Who was it that came with an electric guitar?
Wonderful tunes. (1 person came to the party with an electric guitar)
Very Very Nice .* * * * *
Did I miss anywhere the names of the session tunes? Great playing!!
I feel like I'm in an old Irish village
super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
interesting how so many commented on how the fiddle is covered in rosin dust (which wouldn't bother me much personally) but no one mentioned they way the young lady is playing it with her chin firmly planted on the tailpiece. Very odd technique, but lovely playing nonetheless.
It’s been my experience that Irish trad musicians tend to be either self taught, or taught by people who are self taught, etc. So you’ll see some techniques that would look odd in a classical context. I’m learning flute, for example, and if you look at these two wonderful players, you’ll note the right hand is played with flat fingers (some even use the second joint of fingers in a "piper's grip") rather than the arched fingers preferred in classical technique. Another example: a flute player that I play with holds his instrument in at least a 30 degree angle downward. I don’t know if they make the wonderful music they make because of, or in spite of, their technique! I just copy Steph and Kirsten in the online OAIM lessons! :-)
New subscriber here, thanks for this, lovely. There are two tunes that I am trying to track down,'Fisel' and Cathal McConnell's' - do you know of any recorded performances of these?
Off the top of my head, I can't think of any recording for those tunes. Ask in the OAIM Forum :) - oaim.ie/component/kunena/listcat
can someone list the tunes being played please? Amazing stuff! :)
Glad you liked it! I'm not 100% sure of the tunes being played, but here's what people are saying in this thread -
1. Molly Bawn
2. Sandymount
3. Mulhairs (No.9 probably)
Brilliant
I am very grateful that you keep tradition. Doolin and Galway were such nice places to visit, and Christy Barry is a living legend. A man of tradition, full of love and full of music. Sadly after my happy days in Doolin, Dublin is a disappointment, it is my second day here trying to find traditional sessions. I found none. I used to love Dublin but is has been changing loosing tradition. I am very sad because Dublin is not what it used to be. Hopefully Doolin and Galway keep tradition alive. I love OAIM for The music and it is a very important intention to spread irish music. So Thank you so much and please never stop being online and being available.
very nice!
the guy on the extreme left! whats that instrument? please do tell, thank you
The Uilleann Pipes.
can you tell me the name of the second and third tune?
Why does Scottish and Irish tunes sound similar? Is it because of the pipes? Or is there any common tradition that they both descend from? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm not from Ireland or the UK, or any of the european countries. Nevertheless it sounds incredible, almost mystical, perfectly suits the countries landscape and incredible natural beauty.
That's a great question ! Gaelic language and culture I guess, as well as hundreds of years of migration between the two countries.
This is Absolutely beautiful..I cannot cannot cannot believe such talent! How do I get access to Irish festivities in South Africa? I know Celtic Woman performed here about two years ago, but I was in the middle of exams and could not go. I have recemtly started learning the flute, and how to read music- is there any way of learning Irish content for someone in my position? Super excited to have come across this- you guys rock!
Hi Veronica, Glad you liked it :) Yes, you can learn Irish music online - www.oaim.ie
Maybe Mick Hand wrote it... De Danann recorded it as The Sandman
Why is there so much rosin dust on the fiddle? Or is it normally that way? I can't tell.
I don't think the rosin should be left on the fiddle. It probably ruins the finish.
tune names would be so nice..
Which Doolin Pub is this?
Never mind,it says. :D
Is it normal for people to play tin whistle with the right hand on top?
Hi Christian, not usual but players do learn this way, especially so if they learned the tin whistle in childhood.
what reels are you guys playing here?

Was this session in Gus O'Connors?
+hot5pur11 It sure was .. We had a real fun night :)
Did you ever cover Ash Plant?
Yes, check out the Ashplant being performed By Thomas (also the tutor in the video) in the opening credits here -Expert Irish Tin Whistle Lessons/ Tutorials from Online Academy of Irish Music with Thomas Johnston
irishmusicacademy cool thanks
have no idea why old schoolers let the rosin build up when it takes like 10 seconds to wipe it off once a month.
Gotta disagree with you buddy, that's what makes a session a session.
it comes from vigorous playing, will fall off naturally.
Oh it's just a youtube joke referring to the only one who didn't like this video. :)
