From Imgur today, and holy shite if it didn't send tingles down my spine.

@jaystretch01 4 года назад

Kinda blew my mind that so many people saw my post, and really thrilled that Cormac got some extra exposure. He’s incredibly good.

@irishtradfan4770 3 года назад

I think we might be witnessing the evolution of the concertina as an instrument in trad. I've never heard it played like this, and I could name some good players. You get players who bring an instrument to the next level, like Mary Bergin on the whistle. This is it lads. We've living in a golden age of trad.

@billabong9215 Год назад

I'd say he wears out some amount of them. It sounds like there's 3 or four playing at times.

@markkavanagh4457 Год назад

He plays it like that all the time lol, I've had a few sessions with Cornac and it's just great playing with him and the Begley family. He's awesome on it though and it really suits my style of Bodhran playing, I'm often the only Bodhran player in Dingle.. I just love listening to him.. the whole family are great as well. A great family of musicians. I've never heard anyone play it quite like Cormac..

@Dayepipes 3 года назад

Wow, that was attention-getting. Being a pipe maker, I'm now foreseeing an industry of developing industrial strength high pressure concertinas, titanium alloy reeds that can be kept flexible enough to sound overblown like this without failing after 3 evenings in the pub, kevlar bellows fabric and such.

@Dònal Brügge His drones would be no different that if it was played by a set of pipes or accompanied with an melodan or an accordian, so your wrong here, Personally i think his aggression really pushed home the songs emotions, by fuck it was incredible to listen to and the crownd thoroughly approved of it.

@seandwyer1823 3 года назад

Totally agree....Amazing how many go into raptures on someone playing Hornpipes and reels with no rhythm and wrong phrasing ....the difference between a Hornpipe and Reel - as an example, should be immediate and obvious, yet so many play one after the other so you can't tell where on ended and the other began, Jigs similar, so often played as a quasi reel....

@jasonw4053 3 года назад

Over 62,000 views now, two years after your comment! I posted a link to this video on Imgur about a year ago, about 80,000 people saw it so that may have helped. Perhaps people are coming around, I know Cormac’s music really blew my mind.

This is one of my favourite musival performances on RU-vid. Big thanks to the Summer School for recording and ITMA for sharing. If I could give advice or request: The balance of the microphones is slightly off, the right hand is favoured by a great deal. It would be great if you could check these levels before recording or correct them in post. Also, the stereo image is not wide enough to give a true impression of the literal breadth of sound a concertina produces. It would be lovely to have things widened a little to reflect this (and please wth the highs on the right channel and lows on the left)! Again many many thanks for this video. I will cherish it for as long as RU-vid hosts it.

@PawsAndKeys 3 года назад

Wow, Cormac's playing in F minor here? I noticed Cormac uses F for "Joe Bane's" barndance on his "Na Fir Bolg" album. Can any concertina players tell me, is F a good key for Concertina? Edit: I talked to friends, they said it's because his concertinas are tuned in different non-standard keys.

@MrFeargalbarnes 3 года назад

Correct. If the concertina was in Eb, then this tune would be in Fm, a step up from its normal key of Em.

@Andreasito Год назад

Yes, but here his fingering on a usual GC concertina would give a- minor.
