The late Johnny Cunningham was a great fiddler. He was in Silly Wizard and Relativity. I met him in person once.

I love this stuff because its the beinging of the return of Irish music. The people we here of now grew up listening and watching these men play. The Clancy Brothers High Chieftens Liem O'Flynn and Tom Peoples Paddy O'Rielly and Paul Brady. These guys started in pubs singing these songs. An now we have the High Kings, Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder and many more. But you have to tip you're hat to those that came before and paved the roads that now are covered in gold.

Slainte to you.
