As a younger musician (22) i love his style of playing even though i play box. Thankfully people/teachers like Brendan Mulkere perpetuate listening to old styles and masters like Sean Ryan
Thanks for posting this. It's the first video of Sean Ryan I've ever seen. Great! The jig listed as Willie Clancy's is more commonly known as Ard an Bothar (The Hill on the Road, or The High Part of the Road).
This should be compulsory listening for all aspiring players of any instrument ...he was so musical...heard him back in the 60s long before the present generation ..it's because of people like him/Canny/Ennis/Paddy O'Brien and PJ Moloney (Portroe) the Cooleys etc that the music survived.
Yes, I thought this yesterday! If you listen to the recording of Sean playing Bonnie Kate/Jenny’s Chickens from the record he made with PJ Moloney, it sounds so similar to Kevin’s recording of those tunes on his ‘In Concert’ CD.
Thanks for upload ..knew Sean Ryan and played in his house with him a few times (Great nights) ...lovely player .He had a geat tone and really fine finger and bow technique....''Grand oul' blind''! Do any of his family play?
I've spent most of the day learning and practising two of Seán's compositions, The Castle Jig and The Nightingale. Search for Kevin Burke, Martin Hayes Seán Ryan's Jigs to hear them played together. My fiddle teacher and I are massive fans of his work. There was a book of his compositions published called, The Hidden Ireland. I have a copy on loan as I can't find it in print to buy.
It’s ‘The Pigeon on the Gate’, but one of the more unusual versions in G major/mixolydian rather than E minor. I transcribed the version from this video for the Irish music site ‘The Session’ if you want the sheet music (setting no. 24).
I don't know how many times I've watched this but it's quite a lot and i love it. I just wish there was more of Sean's playing to be had.
There is a fair bit of his music which was tape recorded in the 1960s and it may be in the Traditional Music Archive.
The Master. Thank you, Sean for your wonderful music and your beautiful soul. May Heaven be your bed, old friend.

Such excellent tempo and phrasing.
Never stopped loving his music

Jasus...he had a lovely style of playing...powerful shtuff!
Sounds a lot like East clare. I suppose tipp isn't that far removed
he brings out the beauty of the tunes in a very moving way- sometimes they are played too fast for this to happen
You are so correct ...he had a great musical style...used to know him.
Absolutely - it gives me chills when he moves into Pigeon on the Gate.

Fair play to you, Mr. Ryan. Such a wonderful talent!!!!! "Tis a grand one you are!
This man is one of the influences to Kevin Burke; It's clear as crystal...

I think the second jig is The High Part of The Road. Fabulous stuff!
Beautiful tone..
Lucky audience that they got to witness that
What a fine bit of music! Lovely look on the girl glaring at her sister around 3:00 ;-)
Great music.

Yes they are very musical especially his second family with wife Kathleen
I hope the little bored girl has gotten to see this as an adult. She's trying her very best to be good....
First two: Dooney Rock, High Part of the Road.
through his compositions, there's a double cd of his recordings that could be spread around a bit better
are they all his comps?
Taken from 'Come west along the road 4' DVD
Great playing and at least two of those tunes are his own compositions.
He wrote Dooney Rock, the High part of the Road, The Glen of Aherlow, and perhaps the first reel also. I love his tunes.
About when was this recorded I wonder. Mid 70's?
The Glen of Aherlow - superb 5:05
Go to 5:00 and the change at 5:05 Magic
DPCR00
He had! ...is he remembered much now by he younger players??

I love playing castle jig and Lafferty's, two sean Ryan tunes I believe. This is the first time I have seen him play.
@@robertkielty5094 There's also the follow up volume published in 2002 called "Sean Ryan's Dream" - lovely compositions through and through!
Is that Seán Keane there as well?
bagus sekali ! matur suksma
Is that Tony MacMahon at 1.33?
+Trevor Sommers
If you type 1:33 you will get there - Tony MacMahon superb player
What tunes are these?
The second tune is Glen of Aherlow
Not bad
what's the last reel
Brendan Keane glen of aherlow
@@balddonaldcerrone7930 what’s the 2cnd reel ?
