Beautiful, haunting and wholly Irish, it makes me weep when I hear music like this. The loss, the strength and the struggles and somehow the power and fortitude. If I sing anything like this I have to steel myself to not be emotional.
In Irish folklore (from a story about a magic harp), the 2nd of 3 types of music is goltraí - music that makes you want to weep. The other two being music that makes you happy (geantraí) and music that makes you sleepy (suantraí).
This American of Irish ancestry (and who loves Irish literature and music) is sitting at her desk in tears over this song and I don't know a word of Irish. I just recently cane across this group. I'll be listening to them often now.
Each of the lads has a wealth of shtuf before them done already. Martin Hayes (fiddler w.glasses) + Dennis Cahill (gtr) have made a name for themselves when based in US. Then Martin came back here (he's down the road from here, His sister was my Singing teacher for years). If you look up each of the lads though you'll find a store of musical wonderfulness. (Iarladh O - the vocalist is always one of my faves). True, they've combined their gifts and now form this 'supergroup' ~ Enjoy!!!
as a performer of this kind of music it's probably my least favorite thing when people start clapping. here in particular seems like the audience really misunderstood the atmosphere and tone Martin is creating - thankfully they quit pretty quickly in the early part. when the tempo picks up, the crowd is so out of sync it's really jarring. i recently saw them and nobody tried to clap along. it was amazing
@@damienwall6946 Horse-shyte...I didn't spend good money to hear fabulous musicians play only to have it ruined by dopey f*ckers with no regard for anyone else in the audience. In a pub...fair enough but not in a ticket-paying concert. Full marks for Christy every time he stops these dopes clapping like they're at their children's school concert!
@@eliasschwartzman2283 Well said - I strongly suspect the majority of the audience at this particular concert were London-Irish out celebrating our Irish heritage but with but the atmosphere was completely lost on most of them.
Went to see these guys in London in march,if you get a chance to see them live,do yourself a favour and go.Even those among you who have seen Martin and Dennis before and think why screw with perfection?,it seems even perfection can be enhanced.
3-18-2016 As compared to the Rolling Stones, this is classical music. The audience is mostly being respectfully still. However, as compared to classical music this is more like jazz. Some apparently get it. This half-Swede mongrel American doesn't really get it. I just love the sound. Not only do I clap out of time, I clap out of key. I just love the sound. First I have of of this group. But I will hear MORE!
Who’s playing the Hardangr fiddle? Looks like a professional classical musician! Beautiful playing all round, Martin Hayes is my favourite player - so much contrast in his music, light and dark, not just bashing out homogeneous reels.
That's Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Irish fiddle player. He plays a 5-string Hardanger fiddle (but with standard tuning) Yeah these guys are amazing together.
Having been in audience (and student of two )of the fellas onstage, I'd say it's more like the natural acoustics causing that effect in a recording, if you know what I mean. And in one shot, the camera panned right up to the highest seats; that's a lot of distance for the sound to travel thru. I believe that were you to be IN the audience yourself, it would not sound/feel like it was off-beat. Tis the fact of the recording not being able to recoup the natural microsecond of lapse.. *IF you also watch Dennis (on guitar) carefully, his accompaniment also looks out of sync. He would hardly be out of time with the rest of the lads .. So, we could probably point to the editors, and whomever had to sync audio/video could have been tighter. I'm sure there was a good reason why it ended up like this. But sure - Long as you can enjoy the music though... 🌀
padraic horgan, I knew it. He sounds too unorthodox for Irish music. The first time I saw him I thought I'd spotted a bit of Thelonious Monk hetrodox attitude to piano-playing. Still, good craic, though. :-)
That is the Royal Albert Hall in London. It makes for interesting reading on its history. And its peculiar acoustics - took them several decades to get the echoes under control. Never been there myself but is an impressive venue.
I would have done the same thing because that Pretentious pianist pissed me off,"try saying that when you are pissed", and his solo in the end Set is not even in the same key, aaah!.
If i had been there thats exactly what i would have done!,.the other players are all good to great but the piano player must think that he is on some other gig!, listen to his improv and tell me what the fuck is he thinking!.
A lot can be said about the Irish, but one thing is clear, they can express their feelings in music and words like no other. In this they excel far above all other people.
When you take everything else from a people, all they have left IS their voice. Their music. Time and again we see in culture after culture, plantation spiritual music for another example, people turn to music as their refuge.
I am astounded by some of the critical comments posted about this stunning performance. Thomas Bartlett [the pianist] is introducing new ideas and dissonances to an age old format, and they work. I do feel that some are locked in the past....
@@michealroche4096 These are extraordinary MUSICIANS. They bring their art and their individual sensitivity to the form. The Gloaming create something unique and utterly new each time they play. This is what musicians, and indeed all music can do. If it remains in one place, anchored by some unspoken tradition, to a single interpretation, then do not be surprised to see it go extinct. Music needs to sing and to breathe. It is hard to imagine a group of musicians who do this better. Irish traditional music is as indebted to The Gloaming as The Gloaming are indebted to their heritage. In fact, they are inseparable.
1ginner1 this is very obviously not a traditional configuration, or traditional arrangements. Go back to listening to the cheiftans if you like, but I don't see why you should complain that more modern versions of Celtic music should exist that isntly God damned "Riverdance."
ShellPointe - if they are talking about the climax of the piece, I assure you their pitch is quite correct- what the pianist is playing at the end (starting around 13:30) is a bunch of atonal SHITE that has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the tune that Martin & Caoimhín are playing. The only part "complementing" their playing is MAYBE the rhythm. As near as I can guess, it is some misguided attempt at "artiness" or "avant-gardiness" on the pianist's part. He does "get it back together" somewhat after that, if you can call walloping the keys like the Hammers of Hell on vaguely harmonically related chords "together". Having said all that, Martin Hayes, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Denis Cahill & Iarla Ó Leonaird are tremendous musicians without a doubt. I just think that the whole thing would have sounded just fine without your man Jerry Lee Lucifer assaulting the piano is all!
I had not seen this one until now ..aww Dennis you are so missed but I will never forget the many times I saw you with Martin playing your socks off ...I will carry these memories in my heart forever as many other around the world will also ,Loved this and the other musicians give such an uplifting and flawless show makes me know in the moment why we are all on this planet together to share the priceless gifts and to bring JOY to each other ....Humans at their best ..Thanks for posting ! .
I don't know if I should be considered as irish, though part of my heritage is russian, but my mom is, and I'm proud and thankful with God of having Irish blood running through my veins, everytime I watch this, my body starts to move, my blood rushes and my heart explodes of joy and proud, Ireland is the best place on earth for me
Absolutely can understand and relate to your comments on this piece ....perhaps the highlight of an incredible night of music and dance...there is something extremely primal about this performance
Enjoy the music for what it is. Absolutely nostalgic tones. I dont think you really want to know the troubles this music was born from. I'm Scottish n from Irish dissidents and love going back to the Ireland to meet my mum and dads family but I've been taught from both sides the trouble isn't to be pondered on. Just enjoy the liberating tones and make joy within yourself 👌
Larla, just awesome as ever. I had the privilege of hearing "The Gloaming" perform in Dublin a few years ago when I was home. I was mesmerized by the richness of your voice. Thank you for bringing me such joy. Keep on singing & perhaps when I am home next year we might connect.Cheers, Liz O'Brien
Oh my God! This is just magical! I came after watching Brooklyn. I looked for this specific musician and Ireland traditional music just gets to my heart even though I dont understand what he is saying! I couldn't get enough of this music!
Iarla also sings(/sang?) with the Afro Celt Sound System (for something completely different): ruclips.net/video/7LhIkAKJzs8/видео.html&ab_channel=RealWorldRecords
ive just heard them on mark Radcliffes folk show on bbc radio 2. One hour slot and I just bought the album. Cucanandy is such a soothing melodic song. I love them!!!
I was lucky enough to have been there . I was in the Ceiliuradh Choir . It was an amazing night , of fantastic music ,singing and dancing . RIP Denis Cahill you will always be remembered.
Absolutely beautiful,being Irish myself listening and watching had the tears rolling down my cheeks,If only they could come to New Zealand and spread there sounds down this way would be just Marvelous,what great feeling and rhythm these musicians have , music from the heart to the heart,may the good lord be with each and every one of you:
What gives you the right to define someone else’s culture and nationality Oliver? Do you have a specific set of tests an individual must pass before you allow them to be Irish? Bad news for white people born in the USA who consider themselves American!! What a sad narrow minded view.
As far back i can remember, youd have a red lemade and and a pack of taytos - while the aduluts caught up - 4 of my aunties and uncles were publiclicans, and the sessions of music would start here and get rawkus, tilll at age 4 or 6 id be on my aunties feet as she showed me the steps
I got here via the Ben Costello channel. What an amazing opening set. I would love to see these guys live in concert some day. Cd ordered and on it's way!
I dont know ,like I just get it....Does this prove the difference between the Brits and the Irish?Their polite apologetic acceptance ,and our anxiety to react to the music?
such a disappointment Dennis Cahill’s guitar is so far down in the mix that it cant be heard. And yeah, the audience look a bit confused by the whole thing…
It’s always gonna happen in a televised mixdown. The audio on the night was probably spot on but when a tv feed picks up live audio channels and compresses them for a recording, quieter input can get lost.
the lad never heard irish music before joining the group, he was a jazz pianist from america invited over, hence his unorthodox style, but i like it, it adds something new. He was clearly playing an "outside" jazz solo, listen to him on the sailors bonnet, he is an amazing Pianist and well able to play according to the style if need be.
Wow, that is so wrong. He was playing Irish music for years before joining this group. I saw him play with Martin Hayes when he was about 13 years old. Also check out recordings he did with the band "Popcorn Behavior." He understands Irish music and is simply accompanying it in his own personal style.
I went to middle school with Thomas (the pianist) and he both listened to and played Irish music all the time. He loved the fiddle player Eileen Ivers in particular. Talented guy who's a genre bending pianist.
internetethan saw a documentary on that lad, when he was 12 he booked Martin Hayes for a concert in the town he lived in in Canada I think and got away with it cause Martin was bowled over by him
As far as I know he has Irish roots and is fairly steeped in Irish American culture. Agree that he's a deadly pianist though. Sailors Bonnet is class alright
Damned by faint praise .wasting your sweetness on the desert air....to me that is simply wonderful ,,,, the lack of empathy in the audience speaks volumes ....of the essential difference between the Irish and the English
Just discovered this beautiful music. Feels like 'coming home' and I'm not even Irish. Love it
I promise for those of us who ARE Irish or of Irish ancestry it VERY much feels like coming home.
Beautiful, haunting and wholly Irish, it makes me weep when I hear music like this. The loss, the strength and the struggles and somehow the power and fortitude. If I sing anything like this I have to steel myself to not be emotional.

So bloody good! 16+ mins and what a journey. What a track.
If you have never witnessed these guys in the National Concert Hall then it's your own loss.
Special!!
Love it, and LOVE the piano. Ban the clapping!!!
What a beautiful set... what talent! My Irish roots are a dancin!
I saw these guys perform at the Kennedy Center this summer and they were so amazing. I hope they make another tour of the US next year.
This music mesmerizes me! They are astonishing, so focused and intense. Pure passion!
B'ola ar an gcroí agam é sin a chloisteáil. Maith sibh!
I love the sound of Norse hardangr fiddle in this song. It has such a rough untamed sound
Arjan h. Where is he playing this? It looks to me to be a viola d’amour or an octave violin with sympathetic strings.
Thank you - I could not identify that particular type of violin/fiddle.
So many people clapping out of time...very strange watching this
Very annoying for these brilliant musicians. I've seen Christy Moore stop right in the middle of a song to ask the audience to stop clapping.
for jasus sake will you two cop on and enjoy the music,most people are not purists ,let your self go ,give yourself a shake ,you might enjoy it.

Couldn't agree more.
It's always the case, don't stress it. kids consume that shit by the hundreds of millions. Eventually, people grow up and find out what real music is.
Except for the ones who don't, and continue on to spew out more of the same.
It kills me that people still think that music isn't subjective and that there's nothing wrong with people liking a variety of music :/
Taks a million tons of earth moved to get a ton of diamonds.
Irish culture is among the best in the world. So glad to be of Irish ancestry. Such talents here! Beautiful performances!

Your not . Watson is an English name . So stop claiming
What gives you the right to define someone else’s culture and nationality Oliver? Do you have a specific set of tests an individual must pass before you allow them to be Irish? Bad news for white people born in the USA who consider themselves American!! What a sad narrow minded view.
just turned on to this group....amazing....where have i been!
haha. ah well. WELCOME so!! 😊
Moistened my eyes most certainly. Lovely.

Cd ordered and on it's way!
Here's why you don't "hack" human beings.
want to go back home..
The thing is that we Irish preserved our music over the last few hundred years while a lot of countries just dissed theirs.
So elegantly beautiful Thanks so much for posting Go Raibh Maigh Agat
I dont know ,like I just get it....Does this prove the difference between the Brits and the Irish?Their polite apologetic acceptance ,and our anxiety to react to the music?
such a disappointment Dennis Cahill’s guitar is so far down in the mix that it cant be heard. And yeah, the audience look a bit confused by the whole thing…
As a guitarist this annoyed me too. It sounds utterly terrible, like someone is strumming one chord harshly.. I couldn’t hear a note.
It’s always gonna happen in a televised mixdown. The audio on the night was probably spot on but when a tv feed picks up live audio channels and compresses them for a recording, quieter input can get lost.
restrained and lyrical.........gorgeous
Everytime i watch this from 1:53 just kills me. I get goosebumps inside my heart.
Majestic. Don't know why Caomhín insists on the old man beard though. There's a handsome fella under all that hair.
I think it suits him. Gives him an air of age and experience, which is exactly the feeling I get when I hear him speak.
I love Ireland❤
and after all the other tunes so gloriously played, ... "Jenny's Chickens" to finish off the set with. Epic. HUP!
And Martin Hayes the master 💖
The music of Erich Zann.
Did you notice the men in the audience? Mostly unable to cope, overstrained... while the women were swinging along.
go hálainn
does anyone know the name of the tune that Martin starts playing at 5:10?

wonderful thank you
If yae canny tap yer toes tae that......
Ted - don't think it was meant to be in the same key.
Sometimes, its a little bit hard to figuring out the lyrics, but its clear enough how the music speak the song itself
You might have a small problem with the lyrics if you don’t speak Irish.
Damned by faint praise .wasting your sweetness on the desert air....to me that is simply wonderful ,,,, the lack of empathy in the audience speaks volumes ....of the essential difference between the Irish and the English
I dont know if youre being 'tongue-in-cheek' by quoting an English poet, while insulting the English
Yeah Martin the Great :-) Gloaming this is Music
He was a fan of Martin Hayes as an adolescent
