I think we might be witnessing the evolution of the concertina as an instrument in trad. I've never heard it played like this, and I could name some good players. You get players who bring an instrument to the next level, like Mary Bergin on the whistle. This is it lads. We've living in a golden age of trad.
I'd say he wears out some amount of them. It sounds like there's 3 or four playing at times.
He plays it like that all the time lol, I've had a few sessions with Cornac and it's just great playing with him and the Begley family. He's awesome on it though and it really suits my style of Bodhran playing, I'm often the only Bodhran player in Dingle.. I just love listening to him.. the whole family are great as well. A great family of musicians. I've never heard anyone play it quite like Cormac..
Great comment even if I'm envious I posted near identical elsewhere! Yeah! Truly immense. 'White replacement' 'Irish a minority' horseshit - our great New Irish are embracing everything Irish.
Great to be present listening to a legend. Unhealthy obsession listening to cormacs RUclips clips😂
Wow, that was attention-getting. Being a pipe maker, I'm now foreseeing an industry of developing industrial strength high pressure concertinas, titanium alloy reeds that can be kept flexible enough to sound overblown like this without failing after 3 evenings in the pub, kevlar bellows fabric and such.
You can get Cormac to test them as well 😁😁😁💪💪💪!
Playing it like
Don't forget the carbon fiber paddles for ultra fast reaction without sacrificing durability.
Considering your uilleann pipe chanter has held up to my ungraceful playing, I am sure you could be the man to patent such a contraption.
The Concertina has never never been played like this. This is true innovation in traditional music.
Dònal Brügge. To each his own. Seems the audience appreciates his style, no? Besides, if u are complimentary, maybe his beautiful sister mite give u a second look. If u could b so lucky.
He broke tree of em in New Zealand during Mam performance so yes, he likes it rough!

@Dònal Brügge His drones would be no different that if it was played by a set of pipes or accompanied with an melodan or an accordian, so your wrong here, Personally i think his aggression really pushed home the songs emotions, by fuck it was incredible to listen to and the crownd thoroughly approved of it.
@Dònal Brügge that's just the surface, listen again and connect with the fire within
@Dònal Brügge why say it?
From Imgur today, and holy shite if it didn't send tingles down my spine.
Kinda blew my mind that so many people saw my post, and really thrilled that Cormac got some extra exposure. He’s incredibly good.
This is as good as Irish traditional music gets.
And there are so many different ways to be that good at this music.
He uses every thump clatter and bang as part of the music. So exciting absolutely brilliant.🎼😀🎼
Powerful can feel the energy as the tune goes on.
By the end I was wondering if he might rip the concertina in half lol
@@phantom12321800 😂true haha
I was just thinking I like how the tune expands. 👌
How to maul a concertina and make it shout out for all its worth...excellent playing from a member of the wonderful Begley family...King Cormac!
He is just at another level, stunning , a master of his craft
Sorry Triona I'm a carpenter,a craftsman but I'm not fit to lace his boots. He is just a genius.🤪
The muscle memory of this man can be summed up with my 16 years of education
Sensational. Would make a great soundtrack to a movie, brilliant tension and edge to it, gets the heart racing.
The best ever Cormac amazing Tempo and Play ever thank you
mindblowing truly
this is outstanding and a privilege to hear and see. power to the man!
Thanks so much Brian!
A privilege to hear!
Amazing playing. Just grabs you. That concertina must be made out of kevlar.
I'm dancing around the kitchen Cormac. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us.
Good to hear you're keeping fit & warm Eithne! If you are not subscribing to our ITMA channel, could I ask you join us, and hit the share button if you'd like to get a few others dancing round the kitchen!
Cormac Begley has made me look at the concertina in a whole new way.
Unreal stuff..gave me goosebumps no joke
How could you not like this?
This amazing Play ever and so great tune ever Cormac great control and Tempo to thank you exquisite ever
I started playing the anglo in November and Cormac's amazing energy in playing keeps me inspired.
It's actually poxy how this only has 2 thousand views and the amount of shite on RUclips with more than 50 thousand views... real trad music such as the stuff cormac produces is so underappreciated. Keep it sexy.
Totally agree....Amazing how many go into raptures on someone playing Hornpipes and reels with no rhythm and wrong phrasing ....the difference between a Hornpipe and Reel - as an example, should be immediate and obvious, yet so many play one after the other so you can't tell where on ended and the other began, Jigs similar, so often played as a quasi reel....
Over 62,000 views now, two years after your comment! I posted a link to this video on Imgur about a year ago, about 80,000 people saw it so that may have helped. Perhaps people are coming around, I know Cormac’s music really blew my mind.
@@seandwyer1823 ...and then the ones that tell you 'ah no, but WE play it / learned it as a reel' but sure, who pays attention to the dancer telling them otherwise, right?
4 years on, 125,000 views
Dayum, the thematic intensity builds and builds! Great player!
This man is playing like he's got a chip on his shoulder, I'm feeling it
Nothing short of spectacular. True genius and it sounds like five instruments are being played. He is truly great. Best wishes William Irish Ways Radio Porgramme
tears of joy!

Wow. Wow. Wow.
Top man
This is one of my favourite musival performances on RUclips. Big thanks to the Summer School for recording and ITMA for sharing.
If I could give advice or request: The balance of the microphones is slightly off, the right hand is favoured by a great deal. It would be great if you could check these levels before recording or correct them in post. Also, the stereo image is not wide enough to give a true impression of the literal breadth of sound a concertina produces. It would be lovely to have things widened a little to reflect this (and please wth the highs on the right channel and lows on the left)!
Again many many thanks for this video. I will cherish it for as long as RUclips hosts it.
I listened to this over looking the mountains from Turner's rock tunnel I'm sure the mountains came alive😂
Amazing ! Thanks ! Please, do you have more of his performance ?
I wish we could have him play at a Feis, our music sounds so dead and repetitive 😭
wow wow wow
That's playing with fire in your belly
Great!!
Second tune is Roscommon Reel I think.
Brilliant by Cormac, but the real master of Irish Concertina came out at the end. Mr Noel Hill.
I've watched this video at least 20 times, it's such a great jam. During COVID-19, I've really been missing Irish jam sessions!!!
Hope that you can at least continue to enjoy our online traditional music, song, & dance videos! Check out Cormac's episode of Drawing from the Well on the jew's harp - a man of many musical talents! All available on ITMA RUclips channel, so please subscribe. Thanks!

How do you get so much music out of one box? Quite incredible. Tour de force.
Fuckin killed it, where's the coroner? It's time to go to heaven my child
Right deadly
Holy. Effing. Christ. 🤘
Savage
Thar Barr!!
Mighty
Phenomenal. Nothing is ever perfect in music but fuck me
I would put this song in Master and Commander 2
G my guy
Sometimes the music just grabs ye by the balls. The man is putting all of himself into this music. This is filthy (in a good way).
Does anyone know where i can find this particular version of that tune? Id love to learn it on flute for my next trip to Dingle..
I train with thus music in the background my celtic blood's boiling
Hup!!
Holy fuck.
Wow, Cormac's playing in F minor here? I noticed Cormac uses F for "Joe Bane's" barndance on his "Na Fir Bolg" album. Can any concertina players tell me, is F a good key for Concertina? Edit: I talked to friends, they said it's because his concertinas are tuned in different non-standard keys.
Correct. If the concertina was in Eb, then this tune would be in Fm, a step up from its normal key of Em.
Yes, but here his fingering on a usual GC concertina would give a- minor.
Those poor bellows!!!! (only kidding)
mic drop.
What are you playing
What are up to
Holy fuck he is shredding that shit
Full time job tuning those reeds. Lol
Ta AN ceoil seo istigh ins Craoi
Though he was going to take a sledge to the poor box
Brilliant! Sadly, racist - 'great white replacement' Irish a minority - Ireland never more Irish. Our New Irish like the Vikings more Irish than the Irish enriching our small island,
wow...like I've never heard concertina being played before.. love it!
