I’ve heard this so often and usually my heart sinks. It very often like a strained battle for maximum speed. But you two playing it bring it back to lilting, beautiful music. Thank you!
Have been playing this tune in sessions for over twenty years , it’s one of my favourites. Nice to hear it with just the two instruments and subtle guitar accompaniment instead of being bashed out at maximum speed by a dozen competing melodians ! Well done to you both .
I had a crap day at work today, but finished my day listening to this and have brightened up. Tomorrow I'll learn this on the flute and play along. Thank you both.
What a wonderful tune and rendition of it! I didn't know it. This Thursday I'm having a little Balfolk gig and I'm hoping to implement this Tune into the setlist. That's how much I like it! Thanks for the inspiration!
I stumbled across this channel by accident and what a find. Absolutely superb musicianship throughout. Every video I've watched is a delight. Subscribed!!
I'm totally addicted to this tune. I hadn't heard it before. Thanks for fixing that gap in my tune knowledge! I hope sometime you will do a Patreon tutorial on this tune or at least on the ornament you play in the B part. It's fantastic, and not one I have learned in my Irish fiddle study.
@@guickdotto4552 I slowed it down. It sounds like F#EF# played really fast with a lot of attack. Much tidier than an Irish roll. I love the way Kevin continually changes ornaments. Never plays a phrase the same way.
I believe that the ornament is a lower mordent, playing the main note, a note below, and then the main note again. It's a full step below the main note the 1st and 3rd times, just a half-step below the second time. It's all in the left hand; the bowing is slurred. The tricky part for me is that the phrase just before the second time the mordent is played is D, E, D, E but instead of playing the open E string, Kevin plays the E on the A string with his 4th finger, and that's how he plays it after the mordent is completed in that phrase, also. That's the only way to play it smoothly, but it is a challenge for me to do it! My fiddle teacher has given me an exercise to strengthen my 4th finger and develop ease and facility in playing an E on the A string with my 4th finger, so I can get used to it and get proficient at it. I have to do it in a waltz I play but just once every 8 measures or so, so I'm not used to it. Kevin has said he will do a tutorial on this tune, it's on the list, so if I'm wrong about any of this, I apologize, and Kevin will make everything clear in the tutorial, I'm sure! 🙂

I love watching the two of you play with joy, sensitivity and beautiful sound.
Lovely tune, great swing on fiddle and a wonderfull guitar! Thank you for your music ❤

Oh, you guys... I just came back to this vid to listen again and it brought a smile to my face instantly. Love it.
What a wonderful tune. I am going to learn that asap.
Another very cool tune! Many thanks!!!
Really enjoy listening to you two and this tune is just lovely! Thanks. I can’t stop playing it.
Absolutely gorgeous
I love all the new tunes I'm picking up from you guys.
As always this is a lovely rendition of such a great classic. It's always a happy day when you upload a new video!
Hey that’s great @zarthsan!
I've just heard this tune in a USA session for the first time, and here it is...
It was meant to be

(As a musician myself) I agree. No better joy than this!
Found it in the South Riding Tunebook. You two are a real inspiration.
Love that one.
Great fiddle and melodic backup guitar. Thanks for posting.
Outstanding 🎉❤ premium sound quality 👌

Absolutely, it’s on the list of tutorials to do!
Addicted too!
I'm a little worried that this one will pop out the next time I try to play Petronella. Great stuff.
😂 That’s a distinct possibility! Cracking tunes both.
Great to see u guys playing together again.Catchy tune🇮🇪👍
So great. Thanks it really is a Good Tune....
You guys are spectacular!
Have replayed this over and over and love it! Do you have CDs of your music?
Not yet, but we will soon be releasing a re mixed and mastered version of some of our favourites!

❤❤❤ I like that little roll on the 8th note of the b tune. Is that all left hand or is there something in the bowing?
It sounds like a Scandi style decoration. I'd love to be able to do it.
