Nice clip. Looks like an Olwell Bamboo in F perhaps? Don't hear too much triple tonguing like this in Irish Trad, but of course he pulls it off flawlessly.
Wow! Quite a cool clip here... It's neat to see how much his style has morphed over the years. Lot of triple-tonguing here, whereas it's a lot more refined these days. Really awesome to see earlier videos like this! Also quite funny to see him with all the hair, since I'm so used to the bald man we all know and love! :P
Although this kind of Irish music (i.e. heavily ornamented and "avant-garde") rarely grabs me, I can't help but respect the flawless technical ability of Brian Finnegan.
He always plays the Moving Cloud with heaps of triple tonguing and flutter tonguing, but I think he has tweaked it over the years so his version of it even two or three years after this clip was even nicer. It's a great clip, and he looks even younger than he is in it. Anyone know if it is the Late Late show or something else??
Потрясающе! Интересно, почему он сделал выбор исключительно в пользу вистла?. Ведь у любого вида поперечной флейты, диапазон шире, да и вообще, тнхнических возможностец больше, чем у свирелевых (блок флейта, вистл). Мог бы и совмещать. Но ему виднее, он мастер. Bravo, msestro!
+Trine730 he is not a trad player give me the real irish flute players seamus tansey josie mcdermott roscommon you dont have to play fast to be a good player
+Michael Moriarty Brian is just giving the audience a taste of his (unreal) skill in tonguing. He is not focusing on any other aspect of playing on this number.
POOR MAN DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GET MARKED DOWN SEVEN POINTS FOR PLAYING FAST IN THE ALL IRELAND FLEADHS FAST PLAYING DOES NOT MEAN YOUR GOOD INTERNET MONSTER
brian Finnegan is not the best flute player in Ireland matt molloy seaumas tansey conor o grada peter horan there are thousands of flute players in Ireland do some research try and find out more about it
dang that tonguing is UNREAL
omg...the hair
Gotta love the curtains
Clicked the video because of the thumbnail showing his hair. Breathtaking
Brian Finnegan: plays
Me: checking the speed control thinking it's about 2x
Jajajaja i put the 2x speed, and the result is hilarious!
I read this, then checked it anyway hah
He HAD! This vid is from 1996. Amazing- he was a genius on the flute even then...
Would like to hear this on a concert pitch instrument. amazing playing!
Shredding in the purest form!

Who´s that guy with the pair of moles on his head? He plays as adorable like Brian Finnegan, my all-favourite flute player...!
I was thinkin the same ... I saw Brian only bald ... well, whatever: he is the greatest !

his pocket is incredible
@kevinmeehan71
I think that most of the people having no hair had some before
it's been stuck on.
What is the name of this piece?
Moving Cloud (3 years late)
And the second tune is The Laurel Tree (4 years late)
Is he playing a Patrick Olwell Bamboo flute? I've never heard one of those sound that good before.
I believe so
@TripToWindsor He's a secret agent
With hair!
Well flute Dee Dee
wasn't that Niall Vallely next to him...
fred19901025 fred Corect

+Jim Severance he was told to entertain and that's what he did
+Michael Moriarty the green eyed monster raises it's begrudging head.
