    Like the ice bucket challenge this is a great idea to promote awareness, charity and to highlight the musicians and Irish tunes too, this was the one I done with Anders Trabjerg, Mayo, Kyle Borley, Vincenzo Di Mauro and another dude in the box and myself on tambourine, can’t remember name at the moment, enjoy anyway.

    Cool. Can you get any info on what instrument the second guy from the left is playing? Looks like a small flute, side-blown but sounds like a high whistle...

    I think the tune is called The green groves of Erin.

    That's the one alright, Taaffes is a great spot for a tune if you are around Galway around 5.30 pm in the afternoon and a nice pint of Guinness too.

    Wish I was, I'm in Dublin but have a few musician friends living over there constantly telling me I should visit that they'd show me around the music scene. I hear it's fantastic!
