So it has taken me at least 30 times watching this video at various speeds, 2 hours of practice and hearing this tune in my head for countless hours to even begin to approach the feel and rhythm of this tune on my fiddle. It's only once you try to learn a tune in someone's particular style that you realise just how beautiful, how complex and how much goes into each and every single note. What a triumph Sorcha and congrats on your award, truly well deserved! I hope that we get to meet again in Feakle for a session sometime soon :)
@@tomgreene1843 Maybe she likes the sound of the instrument better tuned higher. Sometimes people tune higher if they usually play with a concertina tuned higher.
Every time I listen/watch this I shake my head in wonder... this a rare occasion to use the word SUBLIME
The second tune is so hard on a normal tuning I find 😅 but it’s so beautiful !!

Thank you for posting
Fabulous musician super talented lovely style congratulations on your recent award well deserved
Superbe !! Magnifique !!! Je ne m'en lasse pas !!!!
thank you so much and for this video. Sorcha Costello has a soft style of playing musis. The fiddle sings in her hands...
Clare is excellent- she'll be great as an Altan guest on their fall tour of the
U.S.!
Girls that was outstanding. Sorcha Congratulations on your Award.
How nice to see and hear Sorcha playing, he often plays with his eyes closed, probably to find concentration.
Agreed, the eyes take a large % of brain power & closing enhances others like hearing.
Big ups to Sorcha from the Las Vegas krew!
Top class! And looooove that second tune!
Lovely lively playing with the proper swing. And they are clearly enjoying playing!
Wonderful, Sorcha.
Spotless and pure, an audio and video delight.
From the Generation of great musiciens love the style close to kathleen collins
She is
Lovely!♥️
Beautiful playing! I’ll be listening again and learning these tunes.
She has a nice sounding fiddle!
Trust me, it's not the fiddle, it's her playing style! Sorcha can make any fiddle sing - and I did check :D
That said, I hear it's a fine instrument made by Paddy Tutty!
Awesomeeee
She's tuned a 1/2 step up from standard: G# D# A# F
Is the standard not G D A E ?
@@tomgreene1843 Yes, but she's tuned a 1/2 step up which is G# D# A# F
@@mrswimmyboyI'm not a fiddle player ...why might she do that ?

@@mrswimmyboy Thanks for that ...I have noticed a few flutes playing higher as well.
Lovely 😍
Thanks, a treat!
Nice
