I'm a diehard Punk rocker but this man's beautiful music made more of a lasting impression on me than any other. Mise Eire once heard is never forgotten
He so perfectly explains the ACTUAL definition of "classical". When there is a specific method used to exactly pass a music, regardless of its style, from one to another so it can be re-performed the same way again and again, either through notation or specialized oral tradition, then it is classical. Why Scott Joplin, the king of ragtime writers is considered classical is because he wrote his rags down to be recreated exactly as he intended. And so it is with Irish TRADITIONAL music. Classical.

Background singing impinges on this interview. Pity.
