This guy makes the mistake of thinking that speed is all important whereas musicality is much more important. So what we have here is a mishmash of fast playing whish is basically unappealing. Gets faster as if that is therefore better. the whole thing is not tight and the guitarist guy wrecks it even more than the banjo guy.
I looked it up afterwards and your right, but he used to speak with a scottish accent, not now. Still stunning though. Thanks to you for posting it, good man.
i met them years ago when they were regular visitors to the Marymass folk festival in Irvine and what great people to talk to. still as good today as they were then and a shame about Paul. he was a star. thanks for the posting
I'm with Banjoman on that. It's just shredding at the end.
