What it lacks in video quality is more than made up for. Thanks for sharing this. Those of us who never got to see James Byrne in person get a better idea from clips like this.

The young player with James here is Noel O'Gara from Carrick, a fine fiddler himself...

Do anybody know the name of the first reel? I heard it played in Galway by Paul Bradley (fiddle) and Declan Corey (mandolin) in Tig Coili Pub on 11th December 2008

James would have got both these tunes from Danny Meehan. The first reel is usually called "MacCahill's" after Charlie McCahill, a fiddler of renown himself, deceased, a neighbour of Danny's from Drumalost near Mountcharles, Donegal. It may be a distant relation of the tune usually called "Rakish Paddy". While both tunes are often played together and called "McCahill's", Danny learned the second tune from a Leitrim man who lilted the tune for Danny at the bar of a London Pub...

Fear uasal a bhí in James nach raibh éirí in airde ar bith ag baint leis. Ba phribhléid é éisteacht leis, mar a rinne mé féin go minic i nGleann Cholm Cille. Ní bheidh an Gleann mar an gcéanna gan é.

Sad indeed. He will be missed by many...
