A Quick Message from Myles O'Reilly

[skyzefawlun]

You suggested I check out a video of yours probably about 12 years ago in a random comment on an other video of a live performance another creator had posted and I did. I've been thankful, and sharing your work ever since. I can't believe I didn't know you had a patreon! Instantly subscribed. I adore your work, and the artists you introduce me to. Thank you for doing what you do, and using your lens as a spotlight to show us the artists out there that really shine!

I rarely comment on YouTube videos, but for this occasion I'd like to express my appreciation for all the wonderful work you have done and shared with us freely. I return to your videos often - they are a great source of beauty and an inspiration for myself as an aspiring musician. Looking forward to seeing more on Patreon, and I truly hope that you will gather the financial support needed! Thank you Myles, and much love!

To any fans who have been exclusive to youtube so far - I can't recommend the patreon highly enough, it's so very worth it, even at the 1 dollar a month level if that's all you can afford! Myles' work has brought an incredible amount of enrichment to my life along with the artists and the music to which his videos have introduced me. I knew barely the first thing about contemporary Irish music a couple years ago and now it's an essential part of my day to sing along to some Junior Brother or Katie Kim or Niamh Bury or Lisa O'Neill or ... you get the idea!

This is the kick up the arse I needed to support you on Patreon. Your work is such a great archive of Ireland's music and it'll be amazing to see that evolve over the years

Thank you so much for having been generously sharing your stuff free of charge on here for so many years ✨ It’s only fair to be paid for the immense amount of effort you’re putting into your projects, so best of luck with your Patreon channel! I hope it gains many supporters as you continue to put your new work out into the world.

Done i have only manage to contribute the lowest amount per month but i hope it helps I love your work it has given a lot of joy over the years and I have found a lot of new music and art that has helped through the good and bad times if I find more gold in the chest I will give more love and joy

First off…please do NOT apologize for asking for financial support for the AMAZING work you do, and for the artists you spotlight. I’ve been blessed to learn of Ye Vagabonds, and more recently the lovely Anna Mieke, both of which would have likely remained unknown to me had it not been for your work. I even learned about Victor Dekavalas who made bouzoukis for both artists, and who will make one for me at some point soon! Your work is magical, and I am happy to support my first Patreon creator, and I hope to increase my support in the future!

[evigvandrare]

I need to reup my patreon to you! I've loved your work for a long, long time, and I've always been happy to support you. I hope it helps Myles.

Quite right. This whole norm of providing things online for free really should stop being the norm, particularly with such quality work as yours, which obviously takes a lot of passion, talent, skills and time to produce. Wishing you the best of luck with it. Short snippets of longer-form content posted on YT to lure people over is the way to go!
