This should be compulsory listening for all aspiring trad players.

Thank you very much. He has inspired a lot of musicians. When I listen to him, I have feeling I hear Jean-Michel Veillon. I know he learnt a lot from Matt Molloy.

Who's the douche that disliked this? o_O

@billyo2009 Yes the low notes are very good ...which was the hallmark of the best players in the 50s/ early 60s. ( Moloney, Cooley, Carty, O'Loughlin , Preston , Taylor , McDonagh and others.Many subsequently tried to achieve this without the appropriate blowing technique ....so the 'octave effect'' was born! Also he had wonderful timing in his ornamentation.

[billyo2009]

Aside from the fabulous technique - a combination of gentleness and dynamics - Mr Molloy uses the upper harmonics of the lower octave to give enormous power to the low notes. This is the growl that you hear. It is the same technique used in the middle eastern flutes. He is a true artist.

He has been my landlord, my employer and my friend, the only thing that sets us apart is that I am his fan always!
