It was interesting to hear about single reed diatonic (blues harp) from John. There's couple of track played on diatonic on Murphy's album, i think it was played by John (Congress Reel... and Mickey the Moulder..). They are great musicians, very traditional and inspiring.
The Murphy's of Wexford are well known mouth organ players. Eddie Clare of Cavan (friend of mine) was also a great mouth organ player. He passed away all too early about three years ago.
Thanks for that video.

That was great. I really enjoyed it. Do you play the chromatic harmonica?

Thanks for your comment. Could do with more harmonica playing on the tube. Plenty of good box music out there. I wish I could play either one.
