@clarebannerman indeed he did, an iconic character muiris was, and lest we forget that it was he that came up with the whole concept of a summer school to learn traditional irish music, as a tribute to his close friend which we now know as the '' Willy Clancy Festival''
Please would the person responsible come and explain to us all--in this public forum--why the pop-ish sounds made by one Reginald Kenneth Dwight [who apparently requires two identities, the other being 'Elton John'] should have been considered at all relevant as background music in a video clip celebrating a musical giant like Willie Clancy!?
Was it considered too obvious to slide some of his own matchless recordings as appropriate music in this tribute to one of Ireland's greatest pipers?
""When I think of Willie Clancy, I think of Co Clare...he brought out an Irishness, the voice of the Irish poets...and the voice of Ireland as a whole." What a lovely clip, Michael. Thank you.
Great video, thanks but who? where? how? did Yellow Brick Road get laid over this footage.
