In concert from 1977 at Southport Arts Centre. The tunes are The Wise Maid (Listed as 'Doherty's Reel' on Dubliners records), Down The Broom and The Honeymoon Reel From BBC4's Irish Folk:The Chieftains
Fucking beautiful bit of whistle, the dubliners were a fantastic group of musicians and story tellers, and all around decent lads.Hats off to John Sheehan for this lovely couple of tunes.
@@jettimite Hi Shane, I trawled through ebay for a year or two and was lucky enough to find some of the pre 1983 Generation whistles, I have all the available keys in a mixture of brass and nickel except the high G which is way too small for me to play comfortably. There are some great whistles among them. I have a Killarney D, these old Generations stand up well compared to the Killarney even though the sound is very different. You can tell the older Generation whistles by a line that runs up the mouthpiece. If ever you see one on ebay snap it up.
@@turcarumimperator1395 In the early 80s Generation changed the manufacturing process for making the plastic mouthpiece. As far as I know they used to use a two piece mold so you had a line running up the mouthpiece where the two halves joined together. After they changed it was a single mold so the mouthpiece is smooth. Of course you can still get a new Generation whistle that is very good but they do vary in quality so it is a bit of a lottery as to what you'll get. With the old system they were consistently good. I have a few of the older ones and all of them play very well and sound wonderful but I can't say the same thing about the newer ones in my collection.
Hello, I'd just like to say this is my favourite RU-vid comment. First saw this video years ago and saw your comment then and have never forgotten it. Everytime I watch this I scroll down to find your comment. It's really funny. Thank you.
My favourite Dubliners album has always been "Live at Montreux" from 1976. John plays the same selection as here. Never thought I'd see actual footage from that time.
the basic melody is still nice but u use "Ornamentation" to make it chirp and sound like a bird in a way. the whole melody will change and sound like its on steroids. you can play this song on a recorder but it wont sound anything like how john is playing it. very fun instrument and big stress reliever. All i want to do when i get home from work is play my whistle :)
what are the chords and strumming pattern for that bitta rhythm, Jim is playing there?? Deadly stuff, altogether!! RIP to every one of them! Heroes of mine
Ah he's only playing that because he's brilliant. Anyone who's brilliant could do the same. Perhaps talented too. Maybe a real feel and love for the music. OK anybody Brilliant and Talented with a real feel and love for the music could do the same. Oh and a big beard too. They would need a big beard...... 😄
Eb whistle looks like guitar has capo on first fret to confirm also I bought a Generation Eb whistle the other day and pitch matches pefectly.Case closed,LoL.. Glenn Pall,New York
Sorry, I have this selection of reels also on a record and the real title is doherty's reel, maybe the wise maid, looks almost the same, but it isn't it.
