  • Hey, isn't that Clyde Curly playing banjo? John Doyle was there a few years ago playing guitar w/Liz Carroll.

  • Nope, for sure that's Brendan Doyle.

  • The tune is "Old Time Billy In The Low Ground".

  • Thank you, Brendan!

  • Great video! They call it "old time" Billy in the lowground? Never heard this version before -- in the USA at least the tune was historically associated with southern Virginia. I've heard that the tune can be traced back to a Scottish Strathspey called The Braes of Auchtertyre, and is also played in Ireland as The Belles of Tipperary. Whatever great music!!

  • The tune is from Kelly Gilbert- from Kentucky, moved to North Carolina.

    I think he's still living.

  • I always enjoy the Canotes, but that doesn't sound like any kind of 'Billy inthe Low Ground" I ever heard before... know where they learned it from??

  • That's me, all right. But I don't mind being mistaken for such a talented guy as Clyde!
