Aye Aye perfect

It's amazing how much SOUND comes from three men, a banjo and a guitar. They were the masters!

About two years ago, I had been a Pete fan but just started looking into his Rainbow Quest DVDs and youtube videos . . . I had quit working at a barbecue restaurant, which I had worked at for 8 years . . . my position as a busboy-bar back for most of that time was actually called "Rover" . . . and in some ways my life during that time was one of a wild rover or prodigal son . . . anyway, great tune and acoustics and atmosphere. Love it!

1:00 "I went to an alehouse where I used to break wind" :P

[redbirdjazzz]

@aseglkj That's "frequent," not "break wind."

[SPOONFED43]

wow how cool is that ? Tommy is playing the banjo that he gave to Luke Kelly and Luke used it throughout his Dubliners career !

Pete cracks me up with his awkward talking.

I checked the DVD for you but it has no mention of the number i'm afraid, only number I can see is Sanachie 609

But I think that's a DVD number rather then the show.

I've seen a few "Rainbow Quests" as I have been trying to keep up with "American Folk" - Think on BBC4 at the moment. Have missed a lot but was lucky enough to catch the Murray Lerner film "Festival" which features short clips of many of the Musicians that appeared in the RQ series.

Looks as if Clancys (-Tom) but + Tommy Makem were in Episode 1 unless I've been misled by someone's editing.
