This over 2 years old now. Neal is still making music. See the video response above and several clips on my Channel, especially have a look at Tri's "The A Set" - never said his titles were original. As well as Irish band Tri he plays with acoustic band The Fallows. Regards
@MrCoiste Neal has never had mush success at All-Irelands (best is 4th) for that reason. He likes trad sessions, but tends to play a little bit too originally for some Comhaltas judges tastes. If he ever has another go, he will have to reign back in a tad. Cheers
@HelloImUpsidedown Q How did you all get into irish Music? A: Niamh - well my dads Irish; Ciaran - My Grandads Irish; Neal - My grandad knew someone who is Irish! (from Radio 7Waves Interview in Feb 11)

Review of debut Trí CD - Snapshot by Michael Holmes (of Dervish)
A version of this set Track 7 on the CD
I am staggered by the CD. The maturity and ideas which carry through the whole body of the music single it out. There are some pieces on the album where they have more good ideas going on in one set than others have in whole albums. Im not kidding!
I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but I just have to say you guys are both top-class players! I really love the fiddle playing - super smooth and full of lift, with lots of wonderfully creative variations - and the accompaniment is excellent too. My only bone to pick is Neal, next time can play those high C's all the way up to a C#? ;-)
@Irishlad1965 So am I, Kieran, so am I! That's what I sent it to you so you could hear what I meant when I told you they had quite some talent and potential !
Great guys, and by the way, Ciaran is the coolest name ever. I have a friend that plays a mean bouzouki, like you. Love the fiddle, we need one at our sessiun. Ha.
I discovered This video yesterday, I think now that I've watched it around 15 times since. Absolutely wonderful playing. As a fiddler, i'm astonished by your playing.
@0xXNirvanaXx0 this isnt greek music. and anyone that can hear a piece of music that sounds beautiful and say its wrong because "you arent supposed to play that instrument that way" is missing the spirit of what music is about.
When someone writes a new tune it invariably sounds a bit like an older one. neal & Ciaran had also had a run through of Jenny's Chickens earlier, so it may have been in the back of Neals' mind when he was varying the main tune..
I always love to listen to you boys play. It runs so well together and very nice program always. Thanks for posting and Never Stop. 100% Excellent Job. What more can I say.
Ciaran has been playing bouzouki for about three months now. Neal got one in Jan. You will probably see a set with them playing the other instruments in the near future.
With your music under the christmastree, it makes Christmas much nicer. Thanks for the new music! Keep on playing new music, and learning to play new instruments. Every clip is a new surprise. I wish 2010 will bring you again alot of fun in playing music!
