I am an American and the first and only time I ever heard "The Belfast Hornpipe" before coming to youtube to look for it today, was about 25 years ago, on a record purchased at an antique shop because it would work on that machine.
Congratulations to this wonderful young fiddler for being the closest to the wonderful version of the tune which was featured on the accordian at the time.
George is typical of a lot of trad musicians.They take the time to encourage young players. As you say he went out of his way to accompany properly. We only met him the night before and his help was much apreciated.
I can play that on the whistle. Delighted with myself now :D

That's awesome. Now that I know how it's supposed to sound, I want to go and learn it. Thanks for the GREAT demo video. Nice sound quality.
