It’s interesting how, over many decades past, seasonal workers & laborers from Scotland would sail to the north of Ireland, specifically County Donegal (and vice verse)… a lot of the tunes people play today on both sides were traded this way. The men would travel for seasonal work, often for the planting & harvesting of the potato crop, harvesting Irish seaweed, and more. But musicians on both sides apparently always brought their instruments for the duration of their trip. Mainly fiddlers & pipers (úilleann, Highland, border, & small pipes, etc).. So it’s amazing now to hear the Scottish influence in certain Donegal tunes. The second tune, “Glentilt Lodge”, seems to be the inspiration for a Donegal ‘highland’ associated with fiddler Con Cassidy, which Altan recorded for their 1987 self-titled album. The set is called “Con Cassidy’s Highlands/Neilly Boyle’s Reel”. It’s the second highland. A highland is essentially a Donegal “interpretation” of a strathspey, albeit less punchy and percussive than in Scotland or Nova Scotia, much more like a slower reel, but with some Scotch Snaps thrown in. lol. The highland, as a rhythm/tune, also has a specific group dance that is unique to Donegal. Not a highland fling, though 🤣 The third tune in the video, “Lucy Campbell Strathspey”, is clearly the inspiration for another Donegal highland, “Moneymusk”. They’re virtually identical, although the Scottish original is arranged AABBCCDD and the Irish version is AABB. The fourth tune here, “Margaree” reel, was also recorded by Altan & is popularly played in Donegal. Again, instead of the Cape Breton original’s 5-part AABBCCDDEE, it’s AABB in Ireland. On the album _Harvest Storm_ by Altan. Played after another great strathspey, “Bog An Lochain”.

It's hard sometimes when you're playing instruments. I play fiddle and have to be consciously aware of everything I'm playing while not OVERthinking it all; in addition to the technique and the tunes, if I don't remember, I risk letting my mouth gape open and - at worst - drool on the fiddle. Seriously. Lol that happened once in school. But still, I get so carried away that my mouth is hanging open before I even realize it. Someone told me to look up more and smile while playing. I already feel like I look like Popeye with a crossbite playing fiddle hahaha

You might just have trouble distinguishing the two instruments as their playing is so tight. But once you know what to listen for, the two are actually quite distinct on this video.

Denis MacEoin I don`t know where you are from,I`m thinkin American/Canadian, But those Pipes and reels are Borderland and fantastic and Fin Moore is an excellent player(which is why they have a Scottish/Northumbrian sound) which is where I live in our Beautiful Northumberland. We also have the Wonderful gentler Northumbrian Small Pipes as played by the likes of Kathryn Tickell and Andy May kzitem.info/news/bejne/x4uDsWuBboR6nJw .Uilliann Pipes are also wonderful and I especially enjoy listening to Jarleth Henderson and the Brilliant Davy Spillane kzitem.info/news/bejne/13qvs3qGb6urmaA.....I think you should step back and consider the Music you listen to....Electronically enhanced Females warbling their diatribe before putting down true music from our Ancestors.
