Inisheer (Irish) - fiddle and accordion/melodeon

"Inisheer" by Thomas Walsh.
Played by Sarah Loughran (fiddle) and Paul Young (D/G melodeon).

I just cried throughout this jewel.
There's something profoundly spiritual about listening to your cultural beauty being laid bare.

I'm also a musician, and music tells a story.
Our music, our poetry and our song are our finest gems.

God bless you my Brethren.

By far one of the most beautiful versions of this tune. Most of the versions available are played way to emotional but these musicians understand that the emotion is in the melody and you shouldn't emphasize that in the playing style. Very well done!!

Inisheer- the most peaceful place I've ever been to!

These sounds run deep, this music hits a spot within me.. Family sent to Australia in 1860's, rest followed never to see home again.. These sounds would have been in their memory

Lovely! I just realized that's Sarah from another one of my favorite fiddle videos.

I love the pace of this version. It seems faster than other versions, but not rushed. Lovely.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing my Irish whistle along with you on this. 💚

Always a joy to listen to the both of you play! Thank you both!

[Fainche]

Love this tune! It was a favourite for me at sessions in days gone by. Thank you so much for memories. Brilliantly done!

I Heard A Summer Swan
Call On The Stillness Of The Air
I Heard A Blackbirds Song
Then I Knew That You Were Near
My Heart So Long Alone
It Took My Soul Alone To Hear
All The Hunger Of My Life
Was Just To Know That
You Are Near.

Just The First Verse Of A Lyric Which I Wrote As My Own Response To This Beautiful Music.
