I heard a recording of this performance played across a room, and I was happy to find it on YouTube so I can hear it anytime I like. Thanks for posting.

Amazing is the first word that comes to my mind. I've seen other videos with Brendan, hes just a great artist.

This is my favourite from Brendan. I have trouble expressing how I feel hearing him on the harmonica. Inimitable.

Great tunes, thanks for posting. The title is reversed though, Crowley's reel is first, followed by The Little Beggarman.

The tune is actually The Little Beggarman. It's often called Red-haired Boy in bluegrass circles. The Jolly Beggarman is a song popularized by Planxty and Andy Irvine. The Little Beggarman also has words, sometimes attributed to Tommy Makem.

There's a great version, harmonica & with LYRICS , performed by Buddy Greene on Youtube, posted by hoover4000.

It's old Brendan Power. Helped to popularise irish harmonica loads and even appeared on Riverdance, I have heard.

[BardofCornwall]
