It's most likely a Scottish reel.
First recorded on paper or written by McCleod of Rassay in honour of his sister - thus the title:
"Miss McCleod of Rassay".
Very popular here in Ireland from the 1700's as are many Scottish reels.
The Appalations were colonised by the Scotch-Irish and they brought a mixture of Scotch/Irish music with them.
(The 'Scotch'-Irish came from Scotland and were firstly 'planted' on land taken from the Irish in the Reign of James 6th of Scotland /James 1st of England in the northern province of Ulster.
Many later sold out to their neighbours and moved to the New World.)
Thankfully it looks like the music still survives in the Appalations and has become a sub-genre all of its own.
Thanks for the video.
Good dancing too!
very much a Scottish tune
"did you ever go to meeting uncle joe, uncle joe" are the first stanzas of the song to the tune. lovely you'all
"Don’t mind the weather because don’t blow". Nice singing 😁
Aye, but the tune is muckle mair aulder than the sang, Uncle Joe.
I do love that after so long the same old things still give people that lightning hot spark of joy that makes them move their feet and clap their hands :) Some good things don't expire.
I love everything from Jay and Molly.
Ira makes it look so effortless!
有手机真好，我可以去到世界各地，谢谢你们👍🏻
Love this!! Thanks for posting!
Ira Bernstein makes it look so easy!!
Absolutely superb !!!
so great! Thank you 🙏🏼💜
Ira went out on our crab baot. played my fiddle, slept on our couch and danced up a storm at the Doryman Tavern in Cheticamp!
First class, Thank you very much.
Very Artistic rendition..enjoyed the talent, too!
Love it!!!!
Perfect! Love this!
Love love love!
I don't care about the source of the dancing style, I just LIKE it! Wish to heck I could do it!
Indeed! Someone once said, Ireland's greatest export is its people.
As Col. Patterson said in 'The Ghost and the Darkness', "God invented whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world."
Good example of something very difficult being made to look dead easy by a very accomplished dancer! Well done!
Wow Brilliant!
a grand auld scottish fiddle reel
Well done!
Brilliant
I love everything about this!! The Appalachian dancer/percussionist is fantastic. (Is that also called flatfoot dancing?)
Yes. Flatfooting.
That's the reason I used the word 'mostly'.Bluegrass comes from the east Kentucky region where the Scots and Irish settled,and it spread throughout the south.The English were already here,I meant no slight.I hate to admit it,but I was unaware of Lancashire Clog dancing until you mentioned it.
this is English clog dancing and appalaichian music is Scottish origins
"Appalachian percussionist Ira Bernstein"
❤️
Tune also known as the broon coo (the brown cow) where i stay. Not going to speculate on reasons lol
The roots of this form of dance are definitely found in the UK.It mostly comes from the Irish and Scots who settled here.
Clogging has roots in Northen England that began in the 1700's and parts of Wales,there are regional variations.Don't assume that Celts only lived in Ireland and Scotland either.
@@amybaker4654 you are right amy
I love it! Wish I could get a hat like the one Mike Merenda is wearing. Anyone know where I can buy one? Very entertaining.
Great fiddlers!
Superb! This is very similar to Lancashire clog dancing. I wonder if theres a similar root?
Not just Lancashire but step dancing from all over England...every possibility that the Irish got theirs from English "settlers" back in Elizabethan times... and developed their own styleS... note styles... as for the Scots, what hard shoe dancing they had seems to have died out (Except on Cape Breton Island). I've heard it said that there is step dancing all over the English speaking world..... certainly in North America, also other ex colonies, including the West Indies in places... mind you Montserrat has dancing that I'm sure is Irish in direct origin...
When it comes to tap dance... if you want to see the roots of that just watch Bojangles... very clog style dancing...
(Very) Complex subject but yes, Lancashire clog (forget the fairy story about the weaving looms.... ) and Appalachian Clogging are siblings ... or at least cousins.
@@tubemagpie spot on. Scottish stepdancing died out in Scotland. scots Canadians have kept it alive.this is English clog dancing
@@brucecollins4729 I do recall my wife, always a better stepper than me, learning some clog steps from Fife...
@@tubemagpie it,s making a revival in Scotland but not sure about fife.
But it is american, not irish step :p
did you ever go to meeting uncle joe uncle joe........ hop high ladies the cake's all dough. part of the text that I remember.
Talk about a guy making a dance look like a piece of cake!!!
great Sean Nos dancer!!
Dont forget the English eh?
I guess if you just hold a banjo people will thing you know how to play it.
If you look closely you might actually notice that he IS playing
He is without doubt unmatched in Flatfooting and did a great job. However, the music chosen and the band seemed toned down and uninteresting. There are so many great musicians from the South who could have made it so much better to go with his dancing.
This is 'Sean nos :Irish dance _look it up and the heritage will be made clear! not UK not Scottish, not clog dancing! Go on line and look up clog dancing and all will be revealed. Look up Scottish dancing and all will be revealed.If the word Celt is used ignore..its a red herring!!
Appalachian "flat footing" or "buck dancing."
All was not revealed :-) What's the difference between Sean nos and step dance ? I noted Cape Breton has a
strong tradition in step dance ( "a form of percussive dance, with origins in Scotland,") and English and Wales also have step dance traditions ..I'm confused.
At least I know that the tune is definitely Scottish " Mrs MacLeod Of Raasay" although it latterly became very popular in Ireland and indeed the USA and Canada
Irish music is being murdered here. Never heard the likes of it !!
@@seankennedy5502 Scottish music not irish
@@cecircinn2908 scottish stepdancing is alive in cape Breton as is scottish tunes and songs
but I would say scottish stepdance and irish dance came from English clog dance
