The Mighty Fiddlers.

This humble vid was captured @ the Dargan's pub in Santa Barbara, CA, on Mar. 24th 2011. Dannsair is the troupe's name, and they play much of the Celtic/Folk music I find sadly lacking in the world at large. Featured rather exclusively in this instrumental are the two fiddlers that set the stage on fire most Thursday nights; Emily Sommermann and Karl Burrelsman (with a few glimpses of the man in charge, Russ Doherty, and his flying guitar). The song's called "Butlers of Glen Avenue", and can be found on their CD The Mists of Ennistymon on iTunes. If you're in the Southern California area, however, I highly recommend you make the trip some wild Thursday to Dargan's (Sundays they perform at the James Joyce in Santa Barbara, both shows are from 6:30pm-8:30pm and free to watch) and experience the magic for yourselves. (Songs played: Sliabh Russell/Slieve Russell/Cathal McConnell)
