Ahh....Back to me Irish roots!!!
Probably the greatest concertina player in the world...I actually put that clip up over 10 years ago....Tip: If you want your video to show 16:9 aspect ratio add the tag yt:crop=16:9. A friend of mine is sitting behind Noel ...a Box Player from home...Alas left this world suddenly some years ago. Micho Russell is really enjoying Noel's playing...R.I.P. Micho..
I was about to say the same thing, Ol' Micho Russell sitting right next to him. To legends of Irish music sitting right next to each other
Who’s that fluter next to him, is that Peig McGrath? I can’t quite get a good enough look. Peig, my all time favorite (after Tara Diamond).

The reel concertina master A legend in his own lifetime
The joy on Micho Russel`s face :)
The concertina master in fine form
Unbridled musical talent aside, this man has a voice and personality of pure gold. I swear, it's like listening to the leaves falling on a good Autumn afternoon.
This greatest concertina player reeling off the great tune The Wind That Shakes The Barley a great classic many many years by the great Michael Coleman
Here in Denver, Colorado I first learned the Trip to Durrow from Pat Flanagan of Co. Mayo in the way Noel Hill plays it here, AABBCC. I visited his brother Mark in Galway and he played it AABCBC. Pat didn’t like it that way at first, but when Mark visited here Pat changed over and played it that way for the rest of his life. Pat said “old dogs CAN learn new tricks.” 😊
I always like it AABCBC. Having said that, Noel’s performance is second to none!
Yes, Micho Russell, to Noel's right, our left, is delighted. Micho's style of tin whistle playing is derived in part from the old West Clare concertina stylings going back several generations when the only concertinas available were 20 button German made instruments played almost exclusively by women who developed some very inventive styles of playing to adapt those simple instruments to the more complex, darker heart of Irish music.
You are a sheer gem , great stuff.
Iarla Ó Lionaird has a unique face. Wonderful concertina playing from Noel!
That there is some talent!!
Never thought something as musicaly complex as this could be squeezed out of (pun intended) an instrument that's in pop culture only ever ascociated with pirates and hillbillies. Fascinating!
The English Concertina, which is a different fingering system but similar mechanically, was explicitly a high end instrument developed for classical music. Victorian concertina virtuosi used to sell out the Albert Hall in London. Many players still play classical and parlour music on the English and the Anglo, and it's also used for jazz, klezmer and many kinds of traditional music in Europe, Africa, and North & South America. It's a very versatile instrument!
Sehr schön!
Take a look at the man sitting on the left of Joe Hill, his in heaven with total happiness and joy, he reminds me of how I felt as I got to see Phil Lynott-Thin Lizzy & Rory Gallagher playing live on stage. Noel Hill was the Jimi Hendrix of concertina players
He’s not dead yet
That man on the left is the late, great Micho Russell of Doolin, Co. Clare. He was one of the greatest tin whistle players of all time and had an inimitable, idiosyncratic style all his own.
@@johnnielson7676 I’m a whistle player & his version of ‘The Mason’s Apron” is the greatest tune of all. Such soul and warmth from a five quid whistle .
@@stuartmcdonald2974 that’s right, back then about the only whistle you could buy was a Generation or a Clarke, and some of the best music ever played on those five-quid instruments
My goodness what a phenomenal talent that man was on the concertina. My late uncle was the second best in Ireland in my opinion 😂
The sheen of sweat on Noel’s forehead tells me as easy as he makes it look, playing concertina with skill requires a good bit of energy, even for a highly accomplished musician.
Was this from the Pure Drop on RTE?
Yep.
What type of concertina is this? Anglo or English?
Almost as good as me.
On the spoons..😆😆
where's the second reel?
At 2.24
An Irishman playing a Fucking English Concertina .
It's an Anglo concertina (irish Concertina). The English Concertina is a different instrument - a non diatonic instrument.
A dumbass making a comment about something he knows absolutely shite about.
