His name is René Werneer. A genius

I had such a crush on him when I first went to Ireland.

he made my day😊

It's René Werneer . 39 years later, or 40 years later (Olympia 1972 ) the two musicians meet again at the Olympia 2012 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/asx0ddV5x9K9moE.html

I can understand why...😅

Pffff ce bel homme! :)

I was also 19 when I discovered them in Bobino. I just wanted to play my music. I could speak and sing the same langage. My grand Mother learnt french at sçhool when she was 7. My grand father could speak these 2 languages. His father was a teacher. My daddy could speak also our 2 languages. For me it was harder, they spoke only in my family and during the holidays.

That must have sounded very odd to the live audience unless the backing track overwhelmed the sound coming from the instruments which were, it appears, being played.

musicians free!!!

In perception and expression, a genuinely wonderful remark. Love it, amiable. Keep it up!

It's perfectly synchronised, even the guitarist Dan Ar Braz's vibrato, but I can't see any mics.

I love Horslips, specially their Christmas record.

I love both versions. They are very different.

This is live!

hinokikuaimu Then this is the video of the studio recording? Strange.

Étrange de dire que c'est du play back ... Je pense à l'accélération du tempo qui semble contredire cette information ...

Oui, je ne sais pas trop quoi penser: la version du 45 tour est strictement identique à cette version sur la vidéo...

Genfersee tout à fait exact c'est un play back face b du 45 tours "tri martolod" de 1971

totally agree!

Too fast for what? "King of the fairies", under different names such as "Britons glory" or "King William of Orange", did not originate in Ireland, and is not universally played as an Irish set dance tune. It's a hornpipe that is played in many different ways. It gets off to a shaky start here I think, but the whistle player seems to pull it into shape. Personally, I'd dot and swing the tune a bit more, but what is here is a perfectly legitimate way of playing a hornpipe.

yes (the electric guitar is unplugged...)

Breton music and Irish music are indeed different but please try to understand that Alan Stivell plays music from all the Celtic nations. Also, there is an ancient connection in the medieval period, Irish harpers went to Wales and Cornwall to teach the harp in those places and the Breton people largely come from Wales and Cornwall. So while Gavotte and an Dro differ from jigs and reels, the music , as all music, has connection.

@@taurotar Not more than other European traditional musics. Breton music is in many ways similar to Balkanic music as much as to Irish one. Even Berber music sounds similar to Breton music.

@@toutainchristophe4348 Breton people largely come from Wales and Cornwall. They don't come from the Balkans.

@@PaulZedd It does not have anything to do with the music derived of the late medieval music at the crossing of different musical influences. Welsh traditional music and Cornwall traditional music have very little to do with traditional Breton music. Just listen to them.

@@toutainchristophe4348 Indeed, there is a lot of nonsense put out about the music of the so-called "Celtic nations."
