Lord Gordon's Reel played by Orlaith McAuliffe (tin whistle) and Colm McGonigle (harp) at The Herschel Arms, Slough. Recorded in November 2012 by Willie Fogarty (Comhaltas Live).
I can only think that Orlaith's taking the flute and whistle to such high levels invites other musicians to imagine greater attainments with the music too. Colm's agile playing is a great mix with the whistle, of rich chord runs, depth and tonal balance, in that reel. That was only two instruments, and it sounded like an orchestra.
It's not only the speed of fingering that makes her a genius on this instrument it's the timed cuts and rolls Perfect rhythm . She is to Whistle and flute what Joe Satriani or Keith Richards are to guitar. Easily up there with Vinny Kilduff and Mary Bergin
_Orlaith mo chroi tá an ceol seo go hálaiinn ar fad...Powerful rendition of this beautiful reel. I like the touch of the "Seán Ryan's " technique @ 01.33...Simply beautiful_

Beautiful playing by the hands and spirit of a young master ❤
Orlaith has set a new high bar for excellence. It is a great joy to hear her playing.
That was pure magic. Tin whistle playing at its best. The harp accompaniment sounds great too.
As good as one ever hear this girl playing the Tin whistle or the Flute, And with the harp is the icing on the cake.. Super nusic...Thanke you ..
Thanks for a great video. Takes me back to the folk clubs of my youth.

And you can usually use Google Images followed by reel or jig if it isn't part of the title already.
Anyone know where I could buy/find sheet music for this? No luck with Google so far.
