This took place on 18th July 2007 during the Catskills Irish Arts Week (CIAW) in East Durham, New York. Paddy was a special guest at CIAW that year. This video was recorded during a tribute lecture that was presented by Matt Cranitch. Following an exposition of Paddy's life and music, Matt showed a recording of the TG4 Gradam Saoil award ceremony from Cork Opera House on 8th April 2007
Paddy himself then spoke and played some music with Felix Dolan (piano), Jackie Daly (accordion), Paul De Grae (guitar), and Matt Cranitch (fiddle). The jig being played here by Paddy with Felix on piano is 'The Munster Jig'.
To see photographs from that occasion, in addition to others from that week (all taken by Paul Wells), have a look at picasaweb.google.com/pfwells51/CIAW2007SliabhLuachraInTheCatskills
Also of interest is the fact that Matt has just had an article about Paddy published in the Journal of the Society for American Music (JSAM) -- 'Paddy Cronin: Musical Influences on a Sliabh Luachra Fiddle Player in the United States', JSAM, vol. 4, no. 4, Cambridge University Press, November 2010, pp. 475--489.
