Caviar, organic prime with white truffles and a 1920 bottle of Lafite. Luxurious - true. Delicious - true. But not one-tenth as luxurious and delicious and edifying as having Kevin Burke playing a private concert in your living room. Exquisite pleasure.
"Close" maybe easier than you think. After years teaching competition Highland piping in US, I finally got to see the world pipe band championships in Glasgow. First up were youth bands playing very basic music, the same skill level I was playing with -- but sounding professional. Easy posture and motions, flawless execution. The difference from their teachers was purely easier material. Make it correct, get it comfortable, make it flawless. Get any simple tune perfect, you'll be hooked.
Jose, yes, actually at least three. Martin Rockford's, Rolling in the Barrel, Youngest Daughter Reels. The last, Youngest Daughter, may be several different reels back to back. They are most likely "tunes", not songs. In the Irish tradition, songs have words, even if you are playing a version without vocals. A tune has no words associated with it.

And he always looks so relaxed and pleased...RESPECT!!
...a great virtuoso...
Here Kevin reaches a level of intensity I find in performances by great Celtic bands or fiddle and guitar duos. That is impressive.
Class playing from a gentleman.
Kevin Burke is by far my favorite fiddler, you can just feel his emotion in the music!
I've been obsessed with this genre for years yet the only composers I've ever hear about are O'Carolan and O'Riada. > Selfless people = soulful music.
Great that the camera zooms in on his left hand, I like to be able to mimic that hand someday
Kevin's always been my favourite. I see him sliding into notes, when he swore to me he never slides...Hmmmm.
I love how it's so good that the universe stops at 2:10...

Excellent:
makes me miss home. wow
@chaosIsTheOnlyPower i've been playing since i was 4, and he is literally something else. a virtuoso of irish music
kevin = easy mode on ^^
The "Youngest Daughter" and "In the Tap Room" are the pretty much the same tune. You can find the "Youngest Daughter" in O'Neill's 1001.
Why doesn't it sound like that when I play it?
Comme tout ca parait simple....

That fiddle has an amazing ' voice ' . and didja notice there's no purfling ? And what a minimal - effort style of playing.
is this two songs played back to back?

So is this second tune in the set "Rollin in the Barrel" or " Rollin in the Ryegrass"?
Rolling in the Barrel, which sort of mutates into In the Tap Room (as it does on his ‘In Concert’ CD).
And a much later recording of the same! ruclips.net/video/IMALaENWDSA/видео.html
He was at the very beginning... guess he got tired.
Actually the last reel is "The Tap Room," the same tune Paddy Canny & PJ Hayes played after "Rolling in the Barrel" on their famous 1959 LP
