In 1998 I had the pleasure of sitting not three feet away from you at a house party in California. You and Dennis played almost three hours before you took a break. It was the best concert I have ever been to. Less than a year later you played at the Winchester community center in Las Vegas. It has been my distinct honor to have seen you live twice now. All my very best!

A genius like Martin Hayes giving his time teaching, showing those music letters is just amazing. So laid back ,easy to follow.Sincere thank you Martin.

[@estherlonergan5784]

What a wonderful discovery. Your clear, thorough and gentle teaching style makes learning to play sound very manageable even for a mature learner.

[@peggybogardus9340]

I love the tune, and your generosity in teaching us now warms my heart. May you stay well.

I guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.

[@marianorourke8214]

Thank you for sharing your magical gift and most of all the calm and laid back manner in how you convey it. To listen is to transcend, thank you Martin.

[@robertwillox6142]

Thank you Martin, this is so generous of you and I'm loving learning from you. I love this tune - I'm a mature learner (I'm 48) and only get about 20mins a day so it's taken me all this time to complete this tune... just working on those lovely ornaments and double stops you drop in. Thank you again!

[@lesleyvize9816]

Thanks so much for this Martin, it has made my week! Hope you and yours are keeping well

[@janebloom9938]

I've just seen your lessons on line for the first time this evening. I love this tune. I've learned it along with the Honeymoon Reel. Thank you so much Martin. It's so exciting to have an opportunity to learn from you. I don't fully understand the subscription levels but will definately look into it. Best wishes, Jane.

[@mjskeet6236]

This tune is so pretty! Thank you very much. I really hope to learn The Night Before Larry Was Stretched, too. I love your playing style.

[@cathysky2403]

I agree with Peggy. Heartfelt thanks for this gift. How lovely to have something to look forward to during these times. My fiddle's e string was broken and it was languishing. A new string is on the way.

[@billlacasse9414]

Thank you, Martin. I love your playing. I hope you decide to teach more this way. You make it easy to follow.

Thank you so much for this Martin. I have always loved your style of fiddle play so much ever since I first heard you with The Gloaming.
Any chance of some advice as to how you achieve your slide into the e in the b part? I've been trying it for a while now to no avail 😅
