no words can express how great Aoife's voice is and Noam just masters any sort of song put before him on any number of strings given. Sounds so perfect. Like the wind and a mountain steam.
Very nicely said Gary.
Like a bird talking to the wind, this song performed by Aoife and Noam is a real moment of grace. Thanks a lot
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
Aoife O'Donovan, one of the best and more rewarding
companies on this quarantine. Thank you so much for that
Geniale Version....danke aus Köln am Rhein. Manfred
Your rendition is so sweet that you made chirping birds around you willing to join you
This is the most beautiful music I can recall. Amazing voice.
This is such a classic! It should have a million views by now!
Oh, I love this! Especially since it is outdoors and the bird in the background...Perfect!
Aoife has a beautiful lilting voice. I first heard her singing Blaze Foley's " Clay Pigeons " magnificently and this song is equally impressive. The name sounds very Irish, but then , we like to claim as many great singers as we can. Brilliant. Gerry Farry. 👍
Beautiful rendition of this much loved song thank you
That is a tricone National plectrum (long neck 4-string) guitar, circa 1929. He had talked about converting one to 5-string, like a regular banjo, but I guess couldn't bring himself to do it. I think what works nicely is that this instrument has more sustain than a typical percussive banjo, so he can slide around and the notes fade subtly without cutting off abruptly. She's playing a Martin 0-17 or 00-17. What an absolutely beautiful song.
Why do you refer to his instrument as a guitar? Surely it's a banjo.
Rory Mannion It's a resonator tenor guitar.
That is one of the sweetest voices I have Ever heard.
Seen these two live before, and they are great.
I come back every month or so to watch and listen. Please, oh please, could the two of you put this on an album or release it as a single? Your version of Fish & Bird still gives me chills too.
How a simple melody such as this can become so enchanting.
How beautiful. Thanks for your wonderful music.
This is a magical performance and really captures the lyrics. Making me a little weepy at the moment...
I want to buy this version of this song, birds, traffic noise and all! Simply beautiful.
You don’t have to buy it. It’s on youtube.
Wow. Just beautiful. True artists.
Right ON you two. Made my morning!
Aiofe, I love your beautiful voice, playing and passion for music. There’s another song I’d love to hear you sing: The Water is Wide. If you take requests, this is mine. Thank you for the fantastic music! Jo
Love how the birds start singing on cue.
You know sometimes when I play outside the house they turn up(the birds) and I swear they join in.
all great things loop back around, this is a genre that makes me proud to be American and the progression goes on
Aoife we are waiting your visit in FRANCE.
come to Brasil
Some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard
Subscribed. Thanks, Mr. Pikelny and Ms. O'Donovan. The soprano in my duo often sends me song ideas that one or the other of you have posted to YT. Thanks for giving us inspiration.
How lovely!
Watched it again, have to comment again. This is fabulous stuff! Thanks for posting it.
Mercy, best I can come up with is Dreamy, Beautilul... I love this!!
Beautiful Lady, Beautiful soulful voice!!
You sure got my attention! A very musical duo. Thanks!
WOW! Well done you two!😊❤
Best version on CZcams!
I think this is the prettiest song I've ever heard.
Gene Clark's version off his classic Roadmaster album goes alright.
This is so great! Please come to Boston!
Great
ahhhhh learning this from you so lovely you two debra
Pure magic.
Have to comment. That is exceptional counter-point (don't know what else to call it) playing on that instrument from Noam. Just magic.
I believe it’s a resonator plectrum banjo
Wonderful!
Beautiful
Soooooperb.
Yay! I wish you would add a gig in Nor Cal!! :-)
I walk around the corner and there are
friends
making beautiful music
again
bless my soul

Thank you!!!!!
wonderful
Beautiful Aoife!
I’ve never seen a resonator Banjo before... very cool!
Nice.
Greatness.
i don't know exactly what kind of instrument he's playing but wow it sounds awesome. this is one of the best and most feeling played songs i've heard in a while. lovely.
It's a banjo, just a very strange-looking, vintage one. When I saw him live with Stuart Duncan he explained how he saw some reviews that called it one of the worst playing banjos ever, or something along those lines, and he knew he had to have it.

Actually it's a plectrum guitar, not a banjo. It's a National tricone resonator model from the late 20s.
Plectrum banjos were an answer to the jazz scene. the 5th string would always be out of key. so The plectrum and tenor banjo came into vogue for banjo and violin/mandolin players to get in on the action. The resonator was a form of amplification. His plectrum Im sure is tuned the same as his normal banjo, minus the drone string. An oddity for sure, but a real coolness factor.
@jeeping_foodie Not banjo. Guitar. As above.
It has 4 strings though
Oct 2019 if anyone comes to this vid late as I have you may know that you can find both these fine artists often appearing on Live From Here. Google it
The road may be rough and rocky. but acoustic music seems to be traversing it well these days.
floating
sweet
There is a Hawaiian slack guitar style harmony and phrasing by Mr. Pikelny.
👏🎼☘️🎶🤙
agh you're coming to my town but i'll be out of the country
Tasteful and Tasty!
As long as Noam sticks to the banjo, he can do no wrong.
This is great. Are you coming to the northeast? I'm in northern NJ but I might travel a bit to see the two of you.
This is awesome - another Welch & Rawlings quality, is there more of them?
Noam's lead work certainly has some Rawlings type licks.
Hey Noam! Love the video and song! One question? Is the audio recorded separately?
Audio was recorded at the same time, but not straight to the camera. Then synced to the video. Had to do several takes due to the blustery wind!
Combine 2 people with weird first names and you get beautiful music. Got it.
Noam is not a weird name; it's a perfectly common Hebrew name, used much by modern Jews. I suspect her name is probably a non-weird Irish name.
It's an Irish form of Eva.@@danielboyarin90
Is this original?
Same arrangement as the one on the Wayfaring Strangers album...
I love her, but I don’t know how to say her name. Aoife??🤔
EEF-uh a common Irish name
the 'rose-coloured glasses' filter. for a performance which needs none (;
How the new is Aoife name pronounced?!
EE-fuh
Brooklyn never looked so good...
Too much noise in this side, but good music... From France.
The guy on the aluminum mandolin is good--The girl-- not a big fan
+iceaxe56 it's a banjo
+iceaxe56 you could have fooled me
+Matthew 1 Just know when someone can't sing and she fits the bill--like you are a big fan--liar
+Ernie Stedman And you are an authority
it's a national tricone plectrum guitar.
