The sound he creates with this tune is incredible.

[@BambiLoo]

That's a six part jig and he not only nailed it, but put in beautiful lilts, ornaments and feeling.

[@Tergal14Mandolin]

stunning !

[@JD96893]

wow, that is some great bowing, and some really good playing.

[@9lontoonieful1]

I enjoyed hearing this!

[@WillyBaldy]

@dwaynedibbly He has tons of ornamentation amazingly executed, but a good player like him can play them and still make the melody shine through. There's many great technical players but many of them don't sound musical, to my ears anyway.

Just a correction: his name is actually Rónán Ó hÚaithne... (Ronan Greene).

[@Kheltonheadley]

+Denis Collins According to the Comhaltas Website, it's Rónán Mac Grianna

+Khelton Headley Ronan is sitting here with me as we speak :) He doesn't care, but it's Rónán Ó hÚaithne :)

radix093 Interesting that Comhaltas messed it up haha.

[@radix0935]

+Khelton Headley they got mine wrong too, I seem to have a few identities with them haha :D

[@kathleenregan9356]

So literally 'green' then

[@dwaynedibbly]

interesting to hear good playing without alot of ornamentation. It helps me learn better and also to know the tunes can sound good witout being packed with fancy ornaments.

[@danielabastos7184]

But he has many ornaments, though...
