This performance is among my favourites across the entire RU-vid and physical media folk collection. Special kudos to the guitarist, he really sets the standard from the start :) Every single one of you shows instrumental provess that's off the scale, but the uncannily precise coordination between all of you is what really sets this piece apart. Jolly good job, thanks a bunch for this ! :) PS post even more videos, please.
I had the pleasure of attending their concert in Kimberley BC a few years back and have to credit the tenor banjo for changing my mind on the sound tenor banjo. It literally caused me to stop hating the sound and now I play one myself. Obviously not as well as this man but they really drive a tune along with a voice unlike other instruments that really cuts through. A number of years back my musical friends and I were walking away from an outdoor session and the very last instrument to still be audible was the tenor banjo. Caladh nua is a great group and I have a signed cd that reminds me of their talent every time I play it.
How the hell does the girl play the fiddle with the pegs not swapped over, it must be impossible to plat an F on the E string, excellent set, well played
3:49 Dear goodness, she's a genius! Why bother with some string-laden stick when you can just bow your violin directly with the entire rosin cake? (I jest, but I am mad jealous of even being able to justify needing that much rosin! Some day... some day!)
