London on 16th February 2008

Mairtin O'Connor was one of the main musical forces behind the now legendary "Riverdance" phenomenon, having previously, through his work with De Dannan, Midnight Well, Skylark and as a solo artist, quite simply gone where no Irish accordion player had gone before .He is one of the most respected and best loved musicians ever to emerge from the country.

Cathal Hayden is a multiple All-Ireland Championship winner, he achieved worldwide recognition as one of the founder members of "Four Men and a Dog". He is one of Ireland's top fiddlers and his solo banjo performances are quite simply, show stopping.

@shamrock4500 Please see my other clips of Cathal from Killarneyon my channel and read comments, and I quote one here,but not sure of accuracy " 1st tune 'the boy in the boat' followed by 'the silver spire. Part may be Liverpool Hornpipe. Check out CD details on Cathal Hayden - Live In Belfast (CD). Thank you for the comment'

and hope this helps.
