Subject: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,akenaton Date: 09 May 18 - 02:47 PM Though this might make an enjoyable thread and to start it off a performance which combines all that's best in folk music, an extremely proficient musician, cracking tune and an audience which is fully committed to the music.....in fact the audience are a large part of this performance, their excitement and emotional commitment are palpable.

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: punkfolkrocker Date: 09 May 18 - 02:58 PM nice one Ake... The youtube recommendations on my home page are mostly abysmal... Heavy metal guitar solos, or plodding blues rock... bloody youtube viewer profiling algorithms.. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,kenny Date: 09 May 18 - 04:48 PM An unusual situation arose last Monday night at our local session which ended up with me and 3 musicians from various parts of Spain. Put me in mind of this : https://youtu.be/FZTm5A10WVQ |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Tattie Bogle Date: 09 May 18 - 05:21 PM Great Kenny: we were staying in Asturias some years ago, and the music of Tejedor was the background music at breakfast! I had to go to reception and ask what the heck they were playing! Loved it! Had to wait a few more years until the came to Celtic Connections before i could get a CD! |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Tattie Bogle Date: 09 May 18 - 05:33 PM Here's one of my favourites: St Patrick's Cathedral second only to John Sheahans' "other cathedral" - Christ Church Cathedral - which can be found on a video on JS's facebook page, tho' not, I think, on YouTube. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST Date: 09 May 18 - 06:04 PM Two for the price of one! a massive talent lost. no 1 |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Johnny J Date: 09 May 18 - 06:07 PM There are very few genuine You Tube performances, in the sense that the musicians specifically arranged for themselves to be filmed for this purpose. So, mostly, we're discussing performances from live gigs, CD TRACKS and so on. I'd much rather discuss my favourite gig highlights and favourite COS. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,Akenaton Date: 09 May 18 - 06:08 PM That was Ake. Here's no 2 |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: leeneia Date: 09 May 18 - 10:09 PM Well, hello, Akenaton. You haven't been around for a long time, have you? It's nice to hear from you. I still play "If you will not have me, you may let me go" because I heard you playing it on YouTube. Here's one of my favorite videos. Warning: contains yodeling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdSE78Sekkk |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST Date: 10 May 18 - 02:31 AM Nice to hear from you Leeneia, got to rush out to work, but I will play your contribution later......I like yodelling, my dear old uncle was an expert yodeller. :0) Hope you are well and happy. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,Akenaton Date: 10 May 18 - 02:36 AM Sorry L, I keep posting without the required handle. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Allan Conn Date: 10 May 18 - 02:40 AM There are actually a good selection of Youtube performances and whole series of them like the Tiny Desk Concerts; Songs From The Shed Sessions and Narrowboat Sessions. Plus lots of individual performances from especially younger performers. Here are two that always brighten up my day I always think this live performance is better than Paulo's official video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twuzki0ZpDo And if you're feeling down the sheer exuberance of this is sure to lift the mood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb2uciHpe4U Oh and Percolatin Blues for a bit of New Orleans fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfuHwPtVQOc |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Gordon Jackson Date: 10 May 18 - 02:50 AM Thought by many (including me) to be the greatest Irish fiddle player: Kevin Burke. So, what do we have here? A song! Mrs Gilhooley's Party And look at the equally great Paddy Keenan looking like he was sculpted from granite just for this song. Gordon |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,Mark Bluemel Date: 10 May 18 - 04:08 AM I've mentioned Josh Turner before - here's a lovely piece of work, but only folk in as much as he ain't a horse... You have been warned (There's plenty of more folky/roots stuff on his YouTube channel). |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,kenny Date: 10 May 18 - 04:41 AM Hey, "Ake" - you want percussion ? You have to watch this all the way through : https://youtu.be/CV0fC898-Mg |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Dave the Gnome Date: 10 May 18 - 04:49 AM I don't believe some of the sound effects are real :-) But this version of Ievan Polkka by The Lumberjack Band is now a favourite. I came across it recently. For those who want to know how I came across it, I was looking for the version made famous by Loituma. Enjoy. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST Date: 10 May 18 - 06:23 AM Lovely grub Kenny...we have the 2017 word champions just a couple of miles from where I live, I'll post their victory March with Stuart Liddell's mum carrying the trophy. She was in my class at school and she was Roddy MacCallum's daughter Agnes. Roddy was the Duke of Argyll's official piper, the MacCallums were a famous piping famiy. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,Ake Date: 10 May 18 - 06:29 AM Inverary with wee agnes |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,kenny Date: 10 May 18 - 06:59 AM Thanks for that Ake. I was delighted when Inverary won the Worlds, a great achievement for a band only 13 years old. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,Stu Date: 10 May 18 - 12:48 PM Love the Noel Hill track that Ake posted at the top of the thread. When I saw the thread title I had no doubt what I was going to post. It was either Joe Cooley or this chap, a close friend of Noel Hill's: Tony McMahon - Ships are Sailing and Toss the Feathers |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST Date: 10 May 18 - 01:39 PM Tony is the God of Irish traditional music in my view Stu. There is a lovely documentary on the tube which explores his views on the music......a bulwark against creeping fusion and dilution. Gettin' back to American music, one of my favourite writers and performers is Iris Dement, this song is a heartbreaker and a stern warning to the elites social and political. easy's gettin harder every day. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Will Fly Date: 11 May 18 - 12:08 PM Hi Harry - I'm flattered - glad you like "Midnight On The Water"! |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 13 May 18 - 02:34 AM 'Midnight on the Water'...very nice, Will!!....very nice. GfS |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Harry Rivers Date: 13 May 18 - 03:31 AM Will, I came across your video of Midnight on the Water when I was learning to play it. I must confess that I occasionally ruin your performance by accompanying you on my fiddle (that's something you will never have to suffer) but most times I just sit and listen. It is lovely; to my ears, nigh-on perfect. And that smile at the end? Thank you! Harry |
|
Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,Akenaton Date: 13 May 18 - 03:59 AM Some nice comments and a nice performance from Will. That's the thing about folk music it does create a bond between performer and audience, and also between performers, as can be seen in many of these videos. This music touches and inspires our emotional side more than any other with the exception perhaps of classical music. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST,Peter Laban Date: 13 May 18 - 04:05 AM Shit, that (above) misfired. I'll try again. Fluffy Arabian Cat Disease proves a persistent earworm after hearing it at a gig (with concertina player Cormac Begley) yesterday. I am always moved by her singing either Eithne Ni Uallachain - Babóg na Bealtaine or The Turn of the Road will have to do here. Darkness into light! Could mention more but will look up the links later. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: GUEST Date: 13 May 18 - 04:08 AM Gordon Jackson......never seen that marvellous performance! Thanks a million, how great to see the REAL enjoyment and even love on the faces of the audience......great stuff indeed. |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Thompson Date: 13 May 18 - 04:39 AM Don't know that I can find it, but there was one around the year 2000 or 2005 of a Canadian singing Un Canadien Errant in his bedroom, going away and changing clothes mid-verse, and finally coming back with an enormous melodeon and continuing… |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Raggytash Date: 13 May 18 - 04:49 AM I was lucky enough a couple of years ago to see the Kilfenora Ceili Band live. Part way through the show they played the track on the link below ............ simply astonishing !! Smooth Criminal About 53 seconds in it gets interesting !! |

Subject: RE: Favourite all time youtube performances From: Georgiansilver Date: 13 May 18 - 09:29 AM I'm sure many Brits have heard this before. Tom Napper and Tom Bliss performing 'The Snowgoose' Sadly no longer performing together. The Snowgoose. |
