I love it when pepole like you say: *"I can tell you for a fact that most Irish muscians don't think that he has redifined anything."* Right so....back up your 'claim' then. Go on and 'name the names' of all those Irish musicians that *you know for a fact* don't think he has redifined anything. Let's hear back from you.... Who are you kidding? Utter Bulls*it. @@johnmc3862
@@johnmc3862 OK...go on then John. Tell us all of the names of those: "Irish musicians *that you know for a fact* that don't think that Cormac Begley has redifined anything." Go on then John....name their names! We're all waiting.... Like I thought all along....you're a total spoofer!
Phenomenal. The talent displayed here is incredible. Social media has brought me across this man and if he’s ever in my area I’ll be the very first to buy a ticket.
I remember Cormac as a teen playing around West Kerry when I lived with Seamus for a few years I will never forget this magical time around the Begley family, hes taken what he's learned from his father Breanndan growing up and developed his own unique and powerful style, I have never heard a concertina sound like this ever. It's wild, powerful and just raw phenomenally good.
You've hit the nail on the head... this is learned when on our Mother's knee listening to our Dad's, the Aunties and Uncles, the cousins and the nephews, and the family, friends and neighbours... around our kitchen tables. We are very lucky... we were within 1 or 2 generations of losing it too.
I did not know this instrument could be played this way, and sound so Amazing. WOW. He makes it sound like it's Alive and breathing. Unreal. I bought one of these instruments for a dear friend of mine a few years ago.
Amazing, I met him a few years ago in france thank to an irish music class, he told us that the most important in a tune was to feel how to place the weight in the sentence. I understand now how right he were.
This is the stuff of legends , absolutely in love with the feel of this track , it says a million words without saying a thing at all , more of this please ! Literally every time I listen , I get shivers , love it !
Best solo onna concertina I’ve ever heard, thank you Mr Begley. 🫡 I wish I knew what specific concertina he’s playing? I’ve never heard one with such haunting bass.
This production is next level from thr pure raw skills of Cormac to the sound engineers capturing evey noise he makes. The clicking of the buttons sounding like someone is doing a jig dance blows my mind.
Life ! To war. . . The start. Slow and mellow....infancy..rhythm grows. Moves to adolecence and teenage rhythm comes alive with life . Passion . Dreams. Love. Then the tragedy, the fall, now to war...the rhythm breaks , the struggle , stay afloat. Triumph the rhythm comes back .... reformed and realigned. Rise now the soul is formidable.
1:10 this part is soooo crazy it just sounds like someon is in breathing trouble... but wait this is about war.. man it just makes sence i get goosebumps all over my body.. crazy thing man i love it
really? he's playing a simple tune on a concertina tuned in a low register , its all the rage lankum wise . no real magic there, not quite the same as a hendrix solo off the cuff, but i do like it all the same v tasty playing , breath wise
@@surfmacsurf lol are you for real? doesnt matter if its simple tune or not, what makes a good player of an instrument is how they play it, you clearly werent listening to this

I began my search with a troop of dancing Goblins, and now I have arrived to glory…!
Same here
Same
Play a real concertina
cormac acknowledged the meme
Every once in a while.....someone comes along to totally 'redefine' an instrument. And Cormac Begley is just that. *BRAVO!*
Nonsense, do you read the Irish times? I can tell you for a fact most Irish musicians don’t think he has redefined anything.

You don't need to pretend that someone has redefined their instrument to appreciate their playing of it

The perfect gif doesn’t exist
I love how every sound has purpose. The clicking, the "breathing" and the notes all come together
And notes sounds like made by a living creatures!
Phenomenal. The talent displayed here is incredible. Social media has brought me across this man and if he’s ever in my area I’ll be the very first to buy a ticket.
"To arms men! Do not falter, They may outnumber us, but, show no fear and we will prevail!" Type of tune.
I could listen to this on repeat endlessly
A master with his masterpiece
Очень красивое исполнение , вы определённо нашли своё призвание .
This would be class in a movie

I have no idea what genre of music this is, but it's now one of my favorites.
Irish traditional music. Called trad here.
@@bennyhealy3324
Thank you!
@@MajorisMons no worries. Look up the gloaming if you want more.
He is a little bit special!
Irish trad from wesht Kerry lad
Honest to God .. I didn't know such a sound existed
Needless to say I've listened to this dam near every day since

indeed, it's all about rhythm and groove!
Do you mean "in the phrase"?
The man has SOUL...👏👏👏👏😎✌💚
Thanks, Skuru! ^^
I’m only here because of him
I had to pause his video and go look this up. Glad some furries are eclectic in music taste.
This is phenomenal. I have never heard someone breathe so much life into an instrument before! Maith thú!
You never heard an Irish flute player?
@@Kitiwake I have heard plenty of Irish musicians, I'm saying he's the best I've heard
The connection between ancient Celt and viking origins. This is the embodiment. Beautiful playing. With so much expression.
I recently heard from a panel of specialists that the Celts did have Hispanic origins (now Spain)
@@gatomerlot5315Thats talking about 12000+ years ago tho. Even norwegians and sami probably came from iberia
@@gatomerlot5315the celts that invaded Ireland did at least. Basque Country and Ireland share a lot of DNA

I remember your granddaddy and the Russell brothers back in the 70s, God bless them all. Loved your music
my brain: so how many times do we listen this ?
me: YES!

Lovely interpretation for a lovely piece of art! that's a nice way to figure it
The air sounds when you aren’t playing any notes reminds me of throat singing . Love this tune
Exactly 💯
1:10 this part is soooo crazy it just sounds like someon is in breathing trouble... but wait this is about war.. man it just makes sence i get goosebumps all over my body.. crazy thing man i love it
I love the air-button solo!!!!
Source sounds of Throat singing, whisper singing and chanting, percussion, melody, and basses - all coming from one instrument. Yowza, that was wild!
I LOVE YOU CORMAC BAGLEY 😭❤👍👑
Wow!!!!! Just wow!!!! Fantastic. A master at work.
I can’t stop watching this. I revisit it all the time.
Jesus… He’s like Jimi Hendrix of his instrument. That’s unreal
Great comparison
