[crystalboji]

Awesome Royston just Awesome.............. When we getting this invite over to Ireland then Royston  ? Trish Adam and Shirley : )

[TheHeartwood]

Dare We dream . . . have We stumbled on a new Messiah! He has abeard - check, He is flawless on tenor banjo - check, he likes a gargle - check. . . . dare we dream ?

[thufur]

@TheHeartwood He's playing an Irish solo ;) - Check.

[thufur]

yeah i love his rendition of mbtb. i want to learn to play this as soon as i get a banjo and plenty of practice :-)

[liamshadow8796]

That's my uncle Royston O'flynn and He owns banjo.. =)

[japic68]

He plays in the Spaniard, Kinsale on a Sunday I believe. Kinsale, Co. Cork, Ireland that is.

[thesmokeman1]

@japic68 thank you . I'll be travelling home from Australia for a couple of weeks, I reckon a trip from Louth to Cork would be well worth it, even on the off chance of seeing this guy. He's the first Banjo player to stand out from the crowd who are trying ( and rightly so ) to sound like St Barney McKenna. Royston has his own swing on the Banjo, he's a breath of fresh air. This is the first time I've taken influence from anybody but the afore mentioned St Barney , My Humble Thanks Royston.

[markmc13]

@thesmokeman1 He's playing july 21st (thursday) with the celtic knights for the ballinspittle festival

[thesmokeman1]

@markmc13 MEANWHILE I'LL BE IN AUSTRALIA AS FAR FROM MUSIC LIKE THIS AS I CAN BE. iF YOU HEAR OF ANY ACTION ROUND ABOUT EARLY OCTOBER , PLEASE LET ME KNOW. COULD YOU CONFIRM HE PLAYS IN THE SPANIARD ON A SUNDAY

[dubcindub15]

@japic68 He looks like a talented version of Damien Rice :)

[thesmokeman1]

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS GUY PLAYS A REGULAR SESSION

[almendrabar]

Fantastic

[Dunderheed29]

What a minted set of tunes. I have learned to play the maid behind the bar on the mandolin by listening to you on you tube. Thanks. Great playing.

[Paudyis]

Maids of Mt Cisco is the 2nd one, what's the 3rd one called? Lovely smooth playing!

[TheHeartwood]

@Paudyis

I think the third one is the flogging reel

[BlackDogBroonzy]

Awesome!

[crv26]

hey bro, first and foremost you are astonishing. Second, what is the difference between a tenor and the irish banjo?

[jataomm]

@crv26

You might well have found the answer to your question by now, but an Irish banjo is a tenor banjo. The only difference is the tuning: to play folk it's normally tuned like a fiddle: GDAE.

[neilhosey]

@jataomm tuned an octave down from a fiddle.

[odeamusic]

@crv26 nothing really. for irish tunes you want about 17-19(max) frets. short short. :D and thick plunky strings. do a little google work and you can get gauges.

[kiltyfanad]

We also played that - sounds good^^ =)

[Caitlynsirisheyes]

dude your amazing!!

[Elglarad]

great tunes, but a pity the guitar was too loud to hear the banjo properly. Maybe the camera coulod have been closer to the banjo. nice playing.

[foxxsea]

[tomacstamp]
