I love watching Irish music because you can directly see the impact it has on music in the southeast US because of the tons of Irish that a lot of the culture comes from
I went to a Bluegrass session in the San Fernando Valley a few years ago. I don't play ANY of the stringed instruments, but I DO play Irish trad on the tin whistle and concertina and button box. That night I had my whistle in my pocket and as I sat directly behind the musicians, they struck up a tune in Bluegrass style, but I recognized it as an old Irish tune that I knew. I pulled out the whistle and started tooting along and all of a sudden you could almost feel the wind sweep you across the continent and across the ocean to "The Auld Country" as the Bluegrass rhythms and breaks stopped and the pure Irish version of the tune blasted out! At the end, one of the musicians blinked and turned and looked at everyone and said, "What just happened?" I grinned and held up the whistle and they all had a laugh!
@@eddyhouchins5508 I don't think a lot of people realize the massive impact of the Irish in the south. The stereotypical southern accent mostly comes from Irish people, as well as music and I guess love of potatoes lol.
AMEN. So beautiful. I would choose this any day, not dark music and culture that world makes today. This is so social, friendly, fun and soul relaxing.
First I thought what part of Ireland is Lisbon , there is a Lisburn but not a Lisbon . Then the brain started working and said . ' Its Portugal you fool' . Greetings to you all. Celtic and Iberian . By goodness it works.
Beautiful Irish ☘️ Music & Beautiful Irish Talent both male & female. Hugs from us in New Zealand 🇳🇿 btw. I’m married to a handsome part Irish ☘️ man ! 💕
VICTORY CHANNEL There is an old Irish song ( can't recall the name of it ) that describes Ireland as: " The land of lovely women, the land of sturdy men. "
@Terminus Est Shit bro my Grandmother used to throw that out every now and again. She was from Armagh, came over after the Easter Uprising. She did her share, baking rat poison into bread, stuffed it into her bike basket and rode around and let the Black and Tans steal it... or so the legend goes.
I think I will like Ireland…my son became an Irish ☘️ by joining the High School Irish Club at Archbishop Mitty in San Jose CA…y I love Oh Danny Boy y my Irish friends wondered why I knew the song…it was my papa fave song growing up in the Philippines (:
so do they love the irish or at least the irish music. not a paddy on the horizon, but like you said ,what talent. love the portuguese !!! check out lisbon irish session page.
@@spmoran4703 Contrary to the belief of many the so called ' Black Irish ' ( black hair, olive skin, blue eys ) are not descended from Spanish sailors who were wrecked off the Irish coast in 1588 as the Spanish Armada was escaping the English navy that was beating them badly in the Dover Strait. The Spanish sailed all the way up around the northern tip of England ( Scottish waters ) and came down the west side between England and Ireland, subsequently being caught in a gale in those turbulent waters. The best anthropological evidence is that the Black Irish are in fact descended from the Iberian Celts who migrated northward from what is now Spain and eventually made their way to Ireland sometime during the BC period.
Something similar happened in Stockholm. I had been to a show with Irish dancers and we sent to a pub with music after. One of the dancers sent up on stage in front of the band and danced. 🇸🇪🇮🇪🥃
Very enjoyable and the bonus of dancing in addition to a good variety of instruments in spite of the very restrictive space halos to give a glimpse of the immense array of Irish culture.
This reminds me of last Friday at my local pub, except the woman's name was Sharon. She was about 45 and had had, to be polite, a couple of drinks. Also no one was playing music. The publican shortly thereafter asked her to leave. It was the most exciting thing that happened to me all week. FML.
Reading your comment is the most exciting thing to happen to me in last 5 years plus sharon is my sister and cousin too and we have been happily married for 12 years
Brilliant. Great to Franks reel blasted out by a bunch of “Galway looking” folk. Great to hear the cajon too. I used to get funny looks for bringing mine to sessions but it makes a great seat and sound so all was well :)
Slightly crowded Irish pubs are where many Irish dances were developed, I've heard. Supposedly, that's why a really good Irish dancer can dance in a very small space.
This is really great and someday I must visit! My dad's side is mixed Irish from Spain and Portuguese with relations in New York U.S.A and Peru. Explains all the Irish in my family with black hair and green eyes.
I was lucky to go their just before Covid. Friendliest people, best food and the pubs are just like you would imagine - much like this video. Now I need to go back.
@@deeryker you misunderstand. “Up” is a compliment in Ireland. Like “Up the Kingdom”, which is a compliment to people from County Kerry. I’m sorry if you were insulted. It wasn’t my intention to be disrespectful.
Seriously cool! Love it. Meanwhile, in our local pub, I just get Jim, the local drunk trying to sing and dance to, well, we still to this don't know what he sings.
