FIRST HEARING:
A bit of a rarity, traditional Irish on acoustic guitar and all the more welcome for that.
This is not for the guitar learner. It would be far to off-putting for that (stick to Bert Weedon) but it does highlight just how great any music can be in the hands of a dedicated professional; and how simply it can all seem.
This is classy stuff for more than just guitar fans.
Have a listen.
