- Noel Hill from Lissycasey,County Clare. (Clare is home of Concertina Players) The first reel "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" was made famous in the early 60's by Mrs.Elizabeth Crotty from Cooraclare/Kilrush,County Clare.
Noel Hill is one of those standard-setting voices in Irish music today. Few musicians in any field or in any generation achieve a position where both audiences and experts agree on their preeminence and mastery of an instrument; Noel Hill's virtuosity has firmly established him as the defining Irish concertina player of our time.
Noel Hill comes from County Clare on the west coast of Ireland, where the concertina tradition is so strong the instruments was nicknamed "the Clareman's Trumpet" and legend has it there was once a concertina in every other household. It was into one of these households that Noel Hill was born, and as a young child Noel was forbidden to touch his older brother's concertina. But he couldn't keep his hands off the instrument and was always stealing away with it. One day when his brother was laboring through a hornpipe Noel gave himself away by taking the concertina and playing the tune with ease. That got everyone's attention, and he's had it ever since.
Noel Hill has taken the humble concertina from the house dances of County Clare on the west coast of Ireland to stages throughout the world. The concertina, like Irish music itself, is currently enjoying a tremendous increase in popularity, and Noel Hill is at the forefront of this movement, not only as an awe-inspiring performer but as teacher and a well respected authority on Ireland's music.
In his hands the concertina is a new instrument, yet resounds with the integrity of generations, for Noel Hill makes the music new not through experimentation in other genres, but through consummate exploration and illumination from within traditional Irish music.www.noelhill.com/

I would have hated to be going next😂
Noel Hill, what a concertina player
He’s overrated
The best that ever lived in my humble opinion..He has made the Concertina very popular in Irish Traditional Music..I prefer his style back then ..then the way he plays now days...but he is still great..
Apparently Mahatama Gandhi's dad bought him a concertina as he writes in his autobiography. I didn't know what instrument it was and googled it to be brought here and watch this wonderful playing.
In a way Gandhi brought me here.....

Magnificent
Mighty music ...great command . Great how he puts ''mice'' into the Trip to Durrow!!
Lovely
Wonderful playing ..by a younger Hill! Great to hear the' Mice' in his playing!...especially in the Trip to Durrow.
First reel was a favourite of the late Mrs Crotty. Lovely bright sound.
great command best music ive heard in a while:D
Noel's concertina was built during the American Civil War.
One of a kind Michael it does your heart good to listen to him..How are you keeping Michael?
What a god
WOW!
Both tunes are in F#, or I suppose Gb. At least, that's the scale I found them in. Love the version of the Trip to Durrow. Mighty, mighty music.
Whew!
virtuoso!
Just thought I'd send you this one....one of the all time great whistle players...ruclips.net/video/tSWthoqmLpU/видео.html
Lovely instrument! I got to know it from Giulio Regondi!
I want to hear the other one
Special type of tune. Made in 186, the wind that shakes the barley,
Of course. Spelled just like it sounds!
I wonder if that antique instrument is still being played! Does anybody know?
for me this is named freedom
I play it too
This sounds pretty creepy at .25% playback speed.
Me INTERESA comprar que prezio la con zertina

+Rich H thanks!
Thanks
This makes me want to go onto eBay and buy an 'oul concertina.
This is fantastic playing, truely brilliant However, I prefer the Trip to Durrow played AABCBC instead of the AABBCC as demonstrated here.
Thanks a lot! and do you know in what keys are the tunes? are they both in F sharp? I'm learning the first one with my english concertina, in that key Noel is playing
brilliant clip. Noel makes it look easy! I have to question the claim that Mrs. Crotty called "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" by the name "The Reel with the Beryl," though. On her first album (I believe it was) she plays both tunes as a set and they are called by their separate names there. I may well be wrong. Maybe she called them BOTH "The Reel with the Beryl." Correct me if I'm wrong. oh right, this is the internet you don't have to SAY that it just happens whether yr wrong or not.
fearfeasog it’s common for albums to put on different names, take lunasa for example they have a tune called morning nightcap which is actually a set the first one being the wedding reel and neither are called morning nightcap. not sure what it’s all about but it’s funky
..Any views as to why it was built in this tuning?
Was this from the 1980's? Because that's the impression I get.
T'was
what year is this?
101st like, woot
I think I found Mohsen Amini's dad
Iarla Ó Lionáird
What's the host's name? Can't understand it.
i thought this said music from hell at first lol
A Iarla, nach túsa é.
i think i was replying to someone!
Up Ireland,
What is your point? Noel said nothing about who invented the concertina or when it was invented -- rather he pointed out the instrument he held was made by Jefferies in the mid-1860's and indeed it was. Likewise, I know Noel and he is well aware of the history of the concertina including Wheatstone. Now I am waiting for you to demonstrate you skills on the instrument.
Wow he's a little gigalo on the Anglo!
Ok my error then -- sorry.
Planxty Noel Hill.
Is a concertina fully chromatic?
+Tom Greene No, but if you get a 30 key you have more accidentals to go those other places. An Anglo concertina is diatonic, i.e. on one button a different note sounds if you push it and the pull it. The two lower rows are 'in a key' these are usually C and G. You can get them in D and G etc, but C/G are the usual combination. Then other notes (accidentals) are taken from the top row. Not so easy to play in other keys but if you are good ....
+Lisa Sture I take issue with the definition of "diatonic" but otherwise that sums the instrument up. I'm a mediocre player myself, and I tend to play along the rows rather than up and down the instrument and that limits what I can do. Noel's playing just blows me away.
+irateofwatford What would your definition of diatonic be?
Diatonic
ˌdʌɪəˈtɒnɪk/Submit
adjectiveMUSIC
(of a scale, interval, etc.) involving only notes proper to the prevailing key without chromatic alteration.
(of a melody or harmony) constructed from a diatonic scale.
The two-notes-per-button arrangement isn't what makes it diatonic, but the fact that the instrument is based on a diatonic scale without the sharps or flats, or rather it isn't intrinsically chromatic. With Anglo concertinas of 30 keys or more, the accidentals are all added on as extras. On the other hand I've come across double-action button accordions (mostly on the Continent) that were fully chromatic.
Older forms of hurdy gurdy (a stringed instrument) are sometimes diatonic.
+irateofwatford sure that is an accurate definition. I was being simplistic and lazy. Great concertina playing
Up mayo
my friend played one, not liek this though.
the concertina was actually invented in 1829 by Charles Wheatstone
Kevin Toine
Thanks for the info.
I didn't know that.
Did he ever hear of Co Clare I wonder?
HUP! I'm not a huge fan of the concertina I dont like it to be honest but this is great.
studying for my leaving cert. fuck my life :(
Rachel Hickman same 😭😂😂
She is no daw
The annoying car horn effects are annoying.
