Had to happen sooner or later…let’s start a thread for Youtube vids featuring traditional string instruments.
Here’s my opening salvo, my band Craicdown at the R.A, Fountain General Store in Fountain, NC, this past weekend:

Two vids of Marcus Moloney tearing up his banjo:
Sticky, anyone?
That might be a new Land Speed Record for stickification!
Meanwhile, here’s my bud Dave Shapiro playing a bouzouki he made:
thanks for starting this thread Rob!
Here is Andy Statman Trio with David Grisman playing Flatbush Waltz

I like Andy Statman’s Flatbush Waltz, good to see it played by the man himself!
Not Irish trad, but modern Klezmer, so maybe should not be here!
Here is Flatbush Waltz played by the David Munnelly Band, only a pity they go straight into a fast reel (Killarney Boys Of Pleasure ):

Here’s a young Keith O’Loughlin from Corofin, Co. Clare, steady rolling on the mandolin:

The incomparable Kevin Griffin on the tenor banjo:
The ocean ain’t whiskey, nor Tommy Jarrell ain’t no duck.
Oh my.
Kitty Hayes, legendary Clare concertina player, accompanied by a band entirely composed of friends of mine! - Yvonne Casey is on fiddle, Eoin O’Neill is on Bouzouki, and Quentin Cowper is on mandolin:
Tommy Jarrell tutors Aly Bain in Microeconomics:
Ann Heymann playing Planxty Cruit on the wire-strung harp (sadly, none of the pics are of wire harps…well, other than those that depict images of the Trinity harp):

As a sidebar, my head appears under the TG4 insignia in the upper right-hand corner at the 1:15 mark. Look around the crowd and you might make out Yvonne Casey and a few others besides.

Paul Dooley, playing a string of tunes on his harp:

Paul is also a crackerjack fiddle player.

Tom Cussen playing one of his own banjos. Tony Howley on flute.
Here’s something our own Ptarmigan posted in another thread:
Come on, laddies and lassies! Don’t make me hold this thread up on me own!
Another Craicdown vid - what happens when a Celtic fingerstyle guitarist gets hold of a Hank Williams song. Tuning is CGDGAD, for the conoisseur; guitar is a Lowden S-7.
I’ll just keep posting Craicdown vids to keep the thread alive…
Here are three reels, played on fiddle and accordion - Mouth of the Tobique/The Clumsy Lover/Guns of the Magnificent Seven

More links please, lads and lassies.

Great stuff, Rob! How do you manage to ignore
such distracting … uh… poorly synced audience
percussion?
