I typically drown these pipers out as they're little more than robotic note printers to my ears. This lad had me double back, lean and listen when he began _playing_ music. Instead of keeping the video for myself, I thought I'd share!
So, your playing lacks variation

There are very few of this pressing online and the ones I have found are edited. So, here is a fully faithful recording on my mostly fully restored 1943 His Master's Voice: 101 at what is, to my knowledge, the correct speed. Not 78rpm. The perks of having a mechanical record player. _Please excuse the mess! My desk doubles as a workbench._ The microphone is a Røde NT2-A (the recording of the re...

Another great play guys...you two have great harmony!
Bonita...!!
Lovely duet.
You two are brilliant! Keep it going lads
One of my all time favourite pieces of music Thank you for sharing ❤
I love your accent
Thank you for that it is magical
The late Liam Clancy did a lovely version also 👍👏🇮🇪☘️
🇮🇪🇮🇪
😊😊
Just beautiful.
What song is this? They sound great!
I wish I knew. I might be able to get in touch with Helen though to ask her.
Bearing in mind that what we are hearing is reduced for transmission and then limited by the sound system through which we hear it, we're not getting the full picture here. Your best answers would come from someone sitting in front of you, or possibly even playing this on both of your instruments. All that having been said, I am partial to the concertina for this one.
Yes, definitely! Music is so different in person.
CZcams should've finished processing high definition in forty min. :)
nice playing, and cool buttons
great one mate!
Very nice melody! Do you have tablature with numbers of the buttons?
Here you go. :) musescore.com/user/10864491/scores/8996303/s/ymfG_Z
This tune sounds well on the highland pipes too.
I need to hear this!
Gorgeous playing, so delicate and really does the tunes justice.
Thanks!
Друг, сыграй пожалуйста как нибудь Little Trinketry из игры Valiant Hurts
Следующее видео. 😉
keep going dude its awesome
Thanks!
We were singin once and this man rlly loudly sang over the entire bus a different song 😂😭
Oopsie. 😂
A wonderful melody well played. Thanks for sharing.
When I have done my time for my crimes and I finally get to leave my prison cell I am going to start working had to earn some money So I can go and visit Ireland for a very long time and get to see as much of their most stunningly brilliant live music been played live all over the land
Do it!
Beautifull! The way you use only the chords in the basses is perfect. The Gold is in good hands.
And what a box the Gold is!
The Serenellini Gold with the 2 stops out in the basses sounds beautifull. My favorite box too!
By the way, I wonder if that cougher was deliberately sabotaging the musos. Hope not.
Don't worry, people like that don't last very long at Burwell!
Beautifully played Samson. It's a superb tune and your box suits it perfectly. Bravo
great tune!
Thanks!
Truly Awesome tune played beautifully. It has Andy Cutting signature feel.
It's a very Andy Cuttingy tune indeed!
What a fun video! A bus full of singing and such good spirits! I want to be there!
Really remembers SpongeBob! Good one!
Very moving, I think this my favorite Irish tune.
How can such simplicity be so sublime? I think l know but don't know how to tell it. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words!
It's all a matter of personal taste. Both sound great but let's say a different flavour. Personally I prefer the punch from the melodion. It has more drive than the concertina and the one you have us particularly good in a class hard to beat.
excellent
It's a lovely piece of music 🎶
You're right about Sing John Ball: it's definitely still in copyright. It was written by Sydney Carter. The current copyright holders are Stainer & Bell (just in case the CZcams algorithm picks this up 😆)
CZcams is being so incredibly broken right now. I tried having two comments pinned but when I pinned mine yours got deleted! 🤣
I really enjoyed that. Who is the main man?
I have absolutely no idea! But I love his voice.
@@SamsonJames yes - impressive!
❤️
It's a dance...
Music is whatever you want it to be, and there were no traditionalists in my livingroom at the time. 😁
That’s absolutely beautiful. Very tastefully played.
Thanks! 😁
