Micho Russell (1915 - 1994)

Thanks for putting that video on I met him a few times and love his music

He was a great man, a lovely person, God rest his soul. He was in Germany on several occasions with the "Irish Folk Festival on Tour" in the 1970s, and I met him at the Fleadh Cheoil na Mumhain (can´t do the fadas, sorry) for a session. I played a bit of tin whistle myself, but when I heard him at the session, I nearly cried and wanted to break my whistle and tear up my book of tin whistle notes.
Never before or after have I heard anyone with such a natural talent for that instrument.

this is the genuine article that my mother would have known

Very lively & bouncy. He had a great command of Music.

Great playing. Tin whistle is a fun instrument!!

what's so disgusting?

I'll second that, thanks for posting!!
and great last name I might add...;-)

thanks for posting this.  Micho proves that it's not all about fancy ornamentation or any "ornaments" for that matter. It's all about the rhythm. Purity.

Nope, its about art....

play the TUNE not what your playing it with!
