      Bayliss is an English surname. So if he was in Ireland he or his ancestors must have moved from England for some reason. Maybe as part of the settlement which began late 17th century. Most early Irish emigrants to the US were protestants, i.e. loyal to the crown, or UK as it is today. (as are the Unionists of Northern Ireland).

      Thats a foolish comment because obviously I didn't. Anyway perhaps you didn't understand my point so let me explain. What I am pointing out are all these people claiming Irish heritage with Anglo Saxon surnames. A historian explained to me that it is a fashion that originated after the War of Independence when people tried to disassociate with Britain and therefore claimed any link to Irish ancestry however tenuous. So if one of their 12 grandparents or great grandparents were Irish and the rest English they would claim to be of Irish descent. Bayliss is Anglo Saxon not Gaelic. But English and Scottish people from the plantations were actually the first to leave Ireland because of tensions. In fact the first wave of "Irish" to move to the US did so predfominantly because of fighting with the original and Catholic Irish. The same battle that continued with the Unionists and IRA until very recently. Of course Ulster plantation was started by two Scottish landowners supported by a Scottish king on the throne of Britain, James 1st 4th, and 90% of the people who took the land in Ireland were lowland Scots loyal to to the crown not Ireland. Hence we have Northern Ireland and many of their descendents are still fiercely loyal to Britain. A lot of "Irish" Americans blindly support a united Ireland but in fact a large percentage would be from Unionist families who want to stay in Britain. Therefore my point is the antithesis of claiming Irish culture it is actually to let people question their roots rather than just accept one snippet of infornation to claim some culture as their own.

      In fact, Appalachian music dates back much further, the five-string banjo existed long before the tenor banjo, which was brought to Ireland and popularized there in the first quarter of the 20th century, even tenor banjo was popular earlier in the USA, in New Orleans jazz, this Ireland music is relatively new.

    We have chart topping drummers and guitarists, Royal Jazz orchestra bassists and trumpeters, fiddle players, bodhran players, pianists, sound engineers, the whole stable, and I absolutely love it!!!
    our Clan dances were never quiet, and Mammy has 62 first cousins!!! all of them play an instrument, and are encouraged to join in the music making whenever we gather...❤❤❤
    This is how we socialise in the mountains and I'm so proud to see it exported to America.
    I'm told there are still places along the appalachian hills and Eastern coast of Canada where Irish accents are still the primary accents, despite most of the people there never having seen Ireland!

      June 2011. Celtic umbrella --> Celtic music
      The Irish, the Scots (both lowland and highland) and the Scot-Irish (aka:
      "Ulster Irish) are Celts. The music is similar ( as is much of the English
      and Welsh folk music created before the invention of the railroads in
      Great Britain).
      What is now England (including Cornwall), Wales and eastern Scotland
      was inhabited by Celtic tribes that spoke the Brythonic (branch of) the
      Celtish language (as do the people in Brittany France -- Only remaining
      area of France to still speak this language)
      The Irish in Ireland and in the borders of western Scotland (on both
      sides of the Irish Sea) spoke and still speak the "Q" branch of the Celtic
      language -- The Celtic people native to northern Portugal and Spain also
      spoke this language

      Such a melting pot of styles, often borne of conflict and subjugation. The tunes come largely from Ireland and Scotland. There has been much migration to and from the UK and Ireland for work, trade and because of colonialism - people still dispute whether certain melodies are Irish or Scottish in origin. Not that it matters - the tunes belong to us all. I always thought the banjo originated in Africa, but I haven't researched it. Certainly there is an influence on American styles of music resulting from the slave trade. With regard to American styles of fiddle playing, it's hard to escape the notion that frequent double-stopping and open string playing could have Nordic influences, although the Kerry style of 'singing' fiddle is similar.

      Tom Savannah -- it's called a tenor banjo. Usually tuned to E A D G, high to low, but can be tuned several ways depending on the musician and the tune. They were popular in jazz bands and "Dixie land " music in the '20s and ' 30s. My dad was a drummer in a little Dixie combo and one fellow played a tenor banjo. He let me hold it. It was unbelievably heavy and built like a tank. Wish now I'd been more interested in the darn thing. Would have loved to get some lessons. He mostly played rhythm chords and he was a damn fine musician. Don't remember his name, but I'm sure this old tenor is still going strong, even though this gent has long since passed on to the other side. Cheers.

    I believe the first reel is called the Kerry Fling, aka Cousin Touhey's.

    I originally removed Seph's name from the credits at his request- he was not completely happy with his performance that night. Any assumption that his name was simply "left out" is incorrect.

      This set is beautiful, nothing to not be proud of.

      he should be just as proud of the imperfect moments as the perfect ones - without the former, the latter can never be reached!

      As a musician, I am well aware that the odd fluffed note, which might not diminish the listener's enjoyment - or even be noticed at all - can feel to us as if it has ruined the whole performance. Now, my own playing, even on my bestest of best days, does not come anywhere close to the calibre of these three and I agree that the banjo playing is superb. But his idea of what is an acceptable standard is with reference to the best *he* is capable of and I completely understand why he does not want a substandard example of his playing to be the first thing that pops up when his name is typed into RUclips. Whether it is a matter of pride or professionalism is another question - and perhaps the fear that it might negatively affect his credibility is a psychological flaw that needs to be overcome. But that is his own business.
