My uncle loved it!

Jesus, Luke doesn't stop for breath does he?!

Here's Sharon Shannon, Gerry O'Connor, Sharon's sister (Mary? ) and a woman I don't recognise playing the Bag of Cats set.
Stupid question: What's Sharon playing? It looks like a fiddle, but bigger?

The woman you don't recognise is Winnie Horan from Solas I think.

And Shannon is just playing a fiddle, just looks bigger cause she's very small herself i'd say.

I feel like playing them at full blast, although I don't think the neighbours would appreciate it at 1.16 in the morning...

I liked the De Dannan one though!:)

One mans abomination is another mans bliss. :pac: :P

I heard it on reeling in the years today as with the first one.

That show does prove useful for providing forgotten gems! (Or abominations in others eyes )

Heres a couple of the members of Trouble in the Kitchen playing in a kitchen in Sydney. These guys are wonderful.

I just had to share this with the world. Theres a couple of related videos too. Gerry O'Connor, Johnny Ringo McDonagh, Alec Finn, Jackie Daly and Sean Ryan. 5 MASSIVE names in Irish traditional music together in the same room at the same time..........!!!!I'm just amazed that the universe didn't implode or there was no pair annihilation or anything.....Anyway enjoy.

Cover of Bob Dylan's 'Boots of Spanish Leather'. This even surpasses the original. Makes me tearful.
