Paddy Callaghan - Be Thou My Vision & Reels

[volkerke]

That is one reason why I must visit Irland again. The last time I was 29, now I'm 60
Greetings from Germany

[ernst]

I would never have thought it possible.Paddy was with us in Syke near Bremen.A friendly musician, with whom you could talk very nice and who showed his skills on stage a super musician.My wife died of cancer in 2014 and every time I hear the beginning of this melody, the slow part, I have to cry. This music goes deep with me, and hits my feelings.
Greetings to Paddy and his great music.
... and I like to cry to this music.

I've had the pleasure to meet Adam Brown on guitar. He's an exceptionally kind fellow and the most talented Bodhran player on the planet!

Greetings from a Swede who lived in Ireland in the 90s (Dublin), when people still visited the churches, and I remember hearing this heavenly hymn from the 6th or 8th century.

I’m from New York. This was a well used hymn ! I am Protestant affiliated with American Baptist church for reference. In my younger years I used to snooze at the organ playing stodgy hymns . Now, this rendition makes me feel comforted and spicy!

[sokonokesokonoke]

The reels are: The Mill House, Sporting Paddy, and Homage to Rooney (in E)

[cyphicle]

Instant tears with the theme of "Be Thou My Vision" and instant joy with Reels, Ireland in 7 minutes. What a talent !

[cuhulainsblood]

Whoever is mixing these performances is doing a terrific job. Every instrument fits perfectly and the bodhrán in particular sounds absolutely beautiful.

[brotherdom]

What sort of pillocks would give this a thumbs down.Brilliant .Im here giving it lally on the fiddle.

[michaellawrence]

The power of this music absolutely unbelieveable

[joannenoonan]

PATPAUL, what a fantastic accordion player best I have heard in along time, sweet as a bird, brillant bunch of musicians, fair play to ye lads, I was reared on trad music, and I dont care what anyone says there is nothing like a bit of trad and a few pints to rock the night.

[DanielMooreDJ]

That is one of the nicest sounding bodhrans I have ever heard

[jimmcgovern]

Irish music fills. My souls. The beautiful sound fills my soul

[raphaelpi]

I recognized the first reel: The Millhouse, also played by Talisk. Great sound!!!

[michaelpeters]

The tune a relative of 'The Banks of the Bann' and the hymn we used to sing at school, 'Lord of all Hopefulness.'
