Nice setting. Natural reverb. Good intonation & complimentary instrumentation. Just the right amount of twiddly bits. Proof that good tunes need not be played at warp speed. :)
"natural reverb".... is it really? The amount of reverb on the whistle part is very, very pronounced, while not that much on the guitar. I might be wrong but I suspect some heavy lifting in post processing. Of course it is not a critic of any kind of the end result, which is truly lovely and the performers both have undeniable skills. I'd still be curious to know how it was recorded and processed, though.
For years I thought exactly the same.. so I know how it feels like. The big 'breakthrough' for me was a: when I realized the difference between legato and staccato (slurring & tonguing) b: learned how to cut (properly 'tight' / 'crisp' ) and c: with the book of the great Grey Larsen - "The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle" - HIGHLY recommended. Those things have changed EVERYTHING for me. The rest will come with a lot of patience and practice. You can do it! :)
O'carolyn the master. Well played. I have this weird problem, and I'm not a picky person by any stretch, but if the whistle is not made of tin, why oh why do we continue to call it tin? And yes, I do play tin whistle. A tweaked original Clark. I also have tin whistles from the 1800s in high pitch with lead fipples. They are made of tin. Tin, not brass, plastic, silver, wood, carbon fibre....
If you can control natural reverb you are going to make a fortune. Your comment was like a lighthouse in the desert - a great idea but totally useless.
Hi Bob, sorry, but the guitarist is one of the most respectful guys I know. No offence meant. How about these guys! wp.cruxnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/20200217T0952-2189-CNS-ADLIMINA-FIFTEEN-STPAUL_800.jpg
Beautifully played by both.
TOUCHES THE SOUL, THANK YOU
I really love the reverb in there. Eleanor Plunkett is a surprisingly easy Irish air to play. Has a very good feeling relaxing when playing
Magical melody!
Great job

Well played! Respectfully played!
Thanks, Larry! 😊😷☘️
Trying so hard to play the whistle but not sure if I'll ever get this good. Love it.
Thanks 😊 It’ll come as long you keep playing!

Thanks, and point taken! I’ve removed the tin 😊
Beautiful! Well played, great guitar accompaniment too. Is that a Killarney whistle?
Thanks! The whistle was made by John Sindt, New York 😊
I absolutely love love love this version but I cant find the sheet music for it... where can i find this version
Hi there, this is our own arrangement and it isn’t notated, but the melody is on www.thesession.org 😊
@Kelly Paul oh ok. Its actually so beautiful! Thanks for letting me know.
What key is the whistle?
It’s a D whistle 😊
There is too much reverb to my ears. And, the instruments are a bit not in tune with themselves :)
Thanks for your response! Can’t please everybody with the choices we make 😁 Always room for improvement…

@@LR-ee2uu you can put mics closer to the instruments, that will reduce the venue reverberation impact on the resulting record ;)
Someone tell the guitarist that he is in a CHURCH and that wearing a hat is DISRESPECTFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't look the correct place to be wearing a flat cap.
