Listening again and I've just noticed that Zoë plays the opening solo in ADAD tuning - suddenly her playing is a lot more fathomable! Impressive bow control and left-hand pizzicato, and a joy to listen to!
@@erikm8372 Quebecois, Reel du Pendu. And yes, that's the pace. She plays it beautifully, though many great fiddlers have their many great takes on it.

Sounds more like ADHD tuning to me 😄
Incredible. Never heard this before. Greetings from Holland
So talented Zoe here with Donal and Martin exquisite reel ever thank you all
Superbe, merci, un régal
I'm in awe.
My god what wonderful musician and from Dundalk as well
Liam Dundalk in fairness has an abundance of good singers/songwriters/musicians. Zoe is excellent and very joyful.
Gioia e sorriso in forma di musica ! JOY AND SMILE like music (From Sicily)
Two of the greatest exponents of Irish trad joined by a 3rd Zoe
SEEN THEM IN DUNDALK BRILLIANT AND SHE CAN SING ASWELL
holy fuck zoe conway you blow my mind / rock my world
What a beutiful beauty they are
Super!
thats some good craic
First tune is called The Hangman's Reel (Appalachian in origin, I believe).
Reel du Pendu (Québec). Jeu d'archet caractéristique du style québécois
Jean Carignan did this one
Sounds very Scandinavian to me
Should have had Dónal through an acoustic pickup, with bass slightly boosted -- yeah, bass guitar with it, rounded out
yeah ye can hardly hear him
Brilliant music does the heart good
WOULD LIKE TO LEARN THE POLKA...TITLE , ANYONE ? ...COULD JUST LEARN IT BY LISTENING...THX
Goods friends so; Good music ;; :)
Please, if possible, could you list the names of the tunes with these videos? Cheers!
This is brilliant, but that last polka gives me aural vertigo.
i think that's the point, to mix up your brains
god dayum
The hangman reel first.
What stringed instrument is the man playing, and how is it tuned?
It's called a Bouzouki. I'm not sure about the tuning. Donal Lunny is a legend on the instrument.
Mostly likely GDAD here ( low to high)
Is there a way to slow it down
And let the tune breath
Sure if you feel the need. This is a performance by Zoe and co. The first tune is rather Norwegian so thats the pace likely.

Opening sounds like a hootenanny!
Reel du Pendu- the hanged man's reel. Not very Irish, but very well played :-)
Reel du pendu is French in name but musically absolutely Irish.
@Pierre LAÏLY Possibly as Irish and French Canadians came together in a big way in mid 19th century.
Самое то выражение духа для рила висельника) и дети тащатся, потому что потому))
Donal is roaring but you’d never know.
