I lie on my bed quite drunk, facing a week of uni and who to I turn to but De Danann and Planxty, long live irish folk music
I'm a fair few years late but I hope it got you through the week! ;)
High quality
You sobered up yet?
Irish Traditional music alive and well
I'm not too sure about Piet
Did you make it to the first lecture?
People are saying we're going back to the 70s, but at least the 70s had great music! Outstanding set, never seen these guys on screen before. Only a shame it's not longer.
Audiences behaved with some consideration for their fellow audience-members, too.
Real talent. Great atmosphere!
Five of the greatest Irish trad musicians sitting together on stage and Johnny Moynihan sings Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore unaccompanied. Love it!!
How does the audience sit so still? I can't!
They’re stunned
Best bodhrán player, I've ever heard.
The drum is called a bodhran (bo ran). It is used in traditional Irish music and the man playing in this video, Johnny "Ringo" McDonagh, is one of the best bodhran players in the world.
The best
ay Tá sí go hálainn.
1976....Forty four years ago. Still bright and timeless.
I've been in pubs full of Irish immigrants of all ages with famous players like this where it was mostly commotion except for a few in-the-know studying and commenting quietly in the back. This is dance music, not originally meant to be watched. But in the trad revival period from the 60's if we include the Chieftains, this new performance presentation by many bands arose and so people responded differently. It thrills me as a player to see audiences in that time appreciating the detail.
Wow this is like the best music ever
Agree.
i need to download this in case it goes offline id be devastated
0:34 - Duke of Leinster/Tarbolton
4:02 - Love Will You Marry Me
7:39 - Máire Rua/Hardyman the Fiddler
10:30 - Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
14:18 - ??
17:45 - Tailor By Trade (Wearing the Britches)
20:47 - outro
The first jig sounds a lot like The Rollicking Boys Around Tandragee. I don't know the second, but it sounds very familiar.
I think the second is known as "Jackie Small's." They recorded it with The Flowers of Spring. On the tape, he says they got both tunes from Jackie Small.
@@be8nice Yours were the comments I was looking for! Any ideas as for the "outro" tunes?
@@rickardbrinck2886The Four Courts and Paddy Taylor's (aka McCabe's). The intervals in the B part of the first one are not what I'm used to, but I like it. ruclips.net/video/sR9ppZQUW8Y/видео.html
Thank YOU
I saw De Dannan back in the early 80s at the Black Rose Pub in the Fanuel Hall district of Boston. They were awesome. This has always been my favorite traditional Irish band. I loved the old lineup. Ringo McDonagh was amazing then as he is now. A true master of Bodhran.
streetcleaner0 I remember them back in '82 in the Black Rose, the Purple Shamrock, they were touring with Mary Black - what a sound and what a great bunch of folk they were. Shared a flat with Mary Black and her we son, Connor. He'll be 30-odd now. How time flies. If you're ever around Boston, Look up my old mucker Frank Ryan - plays with Celtic Clan and he's a great singer, musician and all round eedjit!!
Then( late 70' s) The Rose was new - a real pub with fine old style woodwork -well run by Phil Sweeney(RIP). Then it changed hands ,got gutted and rearranged to make it what it is now by cpmparison- a big beer hall.
De Danann played there in its glory days when Cherie worked the bar and Harvest Home played a lot
The Black Rose! I spent more of my money and my youth than was prudent there.
❤From Derry quay we sailed away on the twenty-third of May.
We were taken on board by a pleasant crew, bound for Amerikay.
Fresh water then we did take on, five thousand gallons or more,
in case we'd run short going to New York far away from the shamrock shore.
So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town,
and twice farewell to my comrades brave who dwell on that sainted ground.
If fortune it ever should favour me, and I to have money in store
I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore.
We sailed three weeks, we were all seasick, not a man on board was free.
We were all confined unto our bunks and no-one to pity poor me.
No father kind nor mother dear to lift up my head, which was sore,
which made me think more on the lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore.
We safely reached the other side in three and twenty days,
We were taken as passengers by a man and led round in six different ways.
Then each of us drank a parting glass, in case we'd never meet more
And we drank a health to old Ireland and Paddy's green shamrock shore.
So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town,
and twice farewell to my comrades brave who dwell on that sainted ground.
If fortune it ever should favour me, and I to have money in store
I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore.❤❤❤❤
I like the bit where they play their instruments and music comes out
There were no music videos in 1976. Were you expecting to see the camera cut to shots of lava lamps and people dancing on mountaintops? :)
Great comment tomtom
@@Sohew I figured it meant he liked the whole thing 😆
👍My favourite moment too.
I have to say I did not understand where all that sound came from at first but your comment enlightened me. Thank you ever so much😅
dont get no better than this boys!!!
This is the first I’ve ever known of Frankie Gavin to play the whistle too. And I’ve been listening to de Danann since 2000. His style is impeccable on both instruments.
There was a documentary on the Air/ Song , Danny Boy , it was done some years ago. Eric Clapton was interviewed , and said: Frankie Gavin's rendition on the tin whistle , was the best he had ever heard .
Frankie Gavin , is a power house , when it comes to Irish 🎶 🎵
Frankie's first instrument, as a kid, was the whistle. He's also a gun flute-player. He recorded a brilliant album on flute called 'Croch Suas E" ( Up and Away). He's also a good accordion-player. (Bastard !! 😉 )
Isn't Johnny singing astounding I've been a fan forever God bless you Johnny more power to you a legend you are
Yeah it’s great I’m so impressed
He’s one of the true greats and yet he’s so elusive- two sweeneys albums (and he barely sings on the second), one planxty album, one de Dannan album - there must be more?(I know he plays on a bunch of classic folk stuff but I mean singing)
Had the great pleasure of seeing their tour w/ Mary Black in 1989(?). Saw Johnny Moynihan with Last Night's Fun at a small venue, Laurel Theatre, in Knoxville, TN 1982. Rest of the band was the masterful Paddy Keenan, Tommy Peoples and Donal Lunny. I went to the after party which lasted until the sun rose. I asked Johnny to sing Dicey Reilly....but he would only do so if I found him a joint lol...I did and he obliged. In my 65 years it was a night I shall take fondly to the hereafter!
Piper played Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore at my dad's funeral 10 years ago. Miss my pop.
Please add Charlie Piggot (on banjo) to the list of guys!! Knew Charlie back in the day.
RIP Alec Finn Legend!
Gerald Ward still cutting silage here in Royal county Meath about 2 weeks ago☺
Ringo revolutionised Bodhran playing
Mr Tayto couldn't agree more not afraid to let her rip off the hand when needed to or go with the more melodic gentler modern form of playing which seems to have mostly replaced this style
Yet to be equaled.
it would be nice to have the commotion again. conversations, business deals, fights, posturing and music
Still coming back 7 years later, loven it m8. Up tha lads!!
My first...teachers in Irish music. One of the first bands played!
Salvatore Rivieccio
Frankie,we loved seeing you live at the Alaska Folk Fesyival..You are an inspiration to us all..I hope to hear you again one day.God bless you and yours.
That guy puffing the pipe for the whole thing, legend.
Class sound. A far different eire back then
A better Eire , troubled but better.
I'd be 23 yrs. old when this was recorded . I was a huge fan of Irish and traditional music ; I've still got the vinyl to prove it but have nothing to play it on .Must rectify that! The shots of the audience are heart breaking , all that hair and cigarette smoke ;
but do my teary eyes deceive me , could that be Van the Belfast man in the crowd at about 9:10 .
wow, wonderful music here great band De Danann
They were some of the best!!! My da was a massive fan.
The jigs of Jackie Small piper from Galway, starting at 14:18, are SUPERB! Big LIKE from Romania!
LOL! They probably didn't know what to think. This was pretty revolutionary stuff.
classe ce groupe
Wow! What a gem!
Discovered a De Danann record while at a folk festival in Brittany in the 80s, where the band was very popular - maybe still is? Thanks for the upload. Brilliant!
In this video appear one the very first "De Danann" band: Johnny 'Ringo' McDonagh (bodhràn and percussions), Charlie Pigott (banjo, bouzouki, whistle and diatonic organ), Johnny Moynihan (mandolin, bouzouki, banjo and vocal), Frankie Gavin (fiddle and whistle) and Alec Finn (bouzouki and guitar)... and they have a very Irish traditional sound!
Oh my old mates from 1975...
The first line-up was with Dolores Keane, Johnny came later. 🙂
❤
❤
Fabulous! Thanks for bringing this piece of history to the plate. Much appreciated. R.
gives the the shivers and warms my heart! X
If anyone, like me, was wondering about the tune following "Love Will You Marry Me" here, it's The Plains of Boyle.
I have a vinyl LP with a bodhran solo Over The Bog Road.
bravo à tous et un plus à l'homme à la flute et au violon..
C'est Frankie Gavin, génial fiddler de De Danann
Rare snd Beautiful!!!!
Mighty players all.
great session from a great group of musicians
I think it was a small but true TV concert
I was lucky enough to have seen them 3 times in the 1980`s and each set was long, soulful and brilliantly played, barely a dropped note anywhere in hour after hour of technically difficult music.
I saw them a couple of times in the 80s, one in a great club and another time at a festival. I was lucky to see Mary Black perform with them.
I used to go see them in the 70’s. Dolores Keane was with them.
This is the real stuff!
Relaxed perfection
Perfect entertainment ...so talented !
love it...tazzie from the netherlands!!!!!!
que du meilleur! love Ireland...
R.i.p to the great man
Charlie Piggott [banjo and accordion] is missed out from the title above. brilliant music,
still trying to get this down on my bodhran! lovely!
brilliant performance
Seriously great musicians
Excellent.
Back again for the intro 🙂☀️ timeless music
tailor by trade is a message for all modern men living in this wretched age.
elaborate
Wonderful 🌹
Magical! Keep 'em comin' !
Thanks for this.🇬🇧
Monsieur Ringo McDonagh. 7 ancient lifes of a 🐐. Not the modern dididumdam stuff. The real stuff.
Johnny- the foundation stone and the bands back bone. The original pioneer.
brilliant set, great to see the old ones i saw them in the 80s with Mary Black thanks for posting . Ray
Heavenly sessions got a new bouzouki maestro. RIP Alex Finn
Johnny is added to my list of musical crushes with this! He always lagged behind most of Planxty but I'm pretty sure I 'd marry him if possible.
Andy Irvine will always be number one, though!
A commenter earlier in the thread has complained that there is too much Johnny Moynihan here. That's like complaining to a waiter that you got too big a portion of crème brulée.
Hahaha best comment ever
great choons great hair
very good enjoyed it
Jig that starts at 14:20 is sometimes called "The Boys of Tandragee" as it's the tune of a song with the same name (or sometimes "The Rollicking Boys From Tandragee"). I think there are other names also, but given this one you can look them up.
THANK YOU! Just realized this today, came here to confirm. Heard it on Arcady's 'After the Ball' and made the connection, been looking for a year and a half for that tune.
4:03 is the tune used in Some Say the Devil is Dead.
Yes, same tune.
many thanks!
Who knows where the time go's feel's like only yesterday and there I was a 20 year old caught on camera chatting up some-one God was I ever young
You picked a real master to learn from! Good luck with your efforts.
The Embankment! Jesus! It's in a sad state now.
The ethereal Johnny Moynihan.
Thanks, macree01 for this. And thanks for uploading this. 20+ minutes of pure bliss! And to Sumptayum for the list of tunes.
Frankie gavin the class of the 80s, and still to this day , there will never be another natural musician like him, ye every fiddle player can’t stand him, but when was the master ever liked, anyway if it means anything Frankie, I know your the greatest, 😂😂🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Still hard as tool steel boys
ringo
the first pieces.
The Four Courts - Paddy Taylor's (starting with the C part).
Thanks to Tunepal.
500 of these views have to be from me
Johnny moynihan has a great voice
I like this version of paddy's green shamrock shore
❤The Tuatha Dé Danann (Irish: [ˈt̪ˠuə(hə) dʲeː ˈd̪ˠan̪ˠən̪ˠ], meaning "the folk of the goddess Danu"), also known by the earlier name Tuath Dé ("tribe of the gods"), are a supernatural race in Irish mythology.❤❤❤❤
Frankie Gavin's tin whistle playing at the start of the video, is great. Himself and Vinnie Kilduff, should team up and record some music together.
Ah lads wonderful. The days of no social distancing .😷😷🤣
dayumnz!!!
What’s the reel (?) after Love will you marry me? It’s not the same tune as in the recorded version…
Just in case anyone cares it's actually a hornpipe called 'The Plains of Boyle'
The description leaves out Charlie Piggott!
❤Ringo
14:15 or there abouts Pat Bourkes jig. One of my favourites, I then go into banish misfortune myself
In Czech rep. there was found a teracote head of Celtic man. It was from time, when Czech rep was occupied by celtic tribe named Boio. Compare Johny's face with ancient praha.idnes.cz/foto.aspx?r=praha-zpravy&foto1=ZUF4dc5bd_50573171.jpg
LOL I was thinking the exact same thing before. The likeness is striking, it stands right out. Fascinating how these traits can go around and come back around, especially under auspicious circumstances, like with a band called De Dannan an ancient reference to ("tribe of the goddess Danu") . Markéta Krejčová
+Markéta Krejčová
That's a terrible thing to say about that poor Celtic man of whom the bust was created.
..and Charlie Piggot at the banjo
There is something about Johnny Moynihan that reminds me of Bill Payne, the late keyboardist of Little Feat. Something in the way they move when they play. Strange.
Pairs that be of course
Sweet!!!Lucky Danu!!!
8:47 hardieman the fiddler great tune
I also heard Charlie Piggot play with De Danann on this RUclips video. Could you put in Charlie's name with the other names?
Around 9:30 there're folk think"When are these folk gonna stop at all at all?"
The banjo timbre is amazing for my ears, is it a Framus? very melow low notes
Hard as Fucking Nails Lads
