Classy, Padraig!

Great performance John. They really do complement each other.

Here's a different performance from a different time. I'm no dancer - and that is a gross understatement - but I do enjoy this kind of skill. I hope you have the wind to keep going to the end, or you'll miss some genuine applause. And you'll deserve it.

At times it looks like something from the court of Haile Selassie, but it's just a bunch of lads from West Clare who've been out hunting the wren on St Stephen's Day.

Happy Irish Friday New Year to all our readers!

This might be better placed in the Sean Nos thread, but sure we have to keep our Fridays Irish. Martin Hayes doesn't mind where he plays.

Some Quartet!

I had in mind a piece called Monastereden Fancy by the Martin Hayes Quartet - with Dennis Cahill, guitar and Americans Liz Knowles, Hardanger fiddle and Doug Wieselman, bass clarinet. But Brennan's Reel was available in its stead.
