During old-time band competition, Jay Bland flatfoots on stage with Daniel Rothwell and friends' band. Great tune, "Sally Ann"! I love the way Jay keeps his feet so close to the floor but makes those great sounds.
The Irish names for the tune are "Katy Breems', Mrs. Halpin's Favorite, Mrs. Halpin's Favourite, Thomaisin O'Dea's, Tom O'Dea, Tom O'Dea's, Tomaisin O Dea, Tomeen O'Dea, Tomin O'Dea's and Tomeen O'Dea's Reel" The American Name for the Tune is "Sally Ann." Jay doesa great job. Take a look at the Mullagh Half Set if you like this video.
Just saw this guy for the first time in the flatfoot contest clip where his feet barely left the ground - so smooth & sweet!

And that performance earned him 1st place in his category this year (2011).
