ComhaltasLive #222 - 4: Francis O’Connor
One of the highlights of the 2007 Munster Fleadh was the concert which featured many of the great West Limerick artists from over the decades. The famous Seán Ó Sé was “Fear a’ Tí” for the night and here he introduces one of West Limerick’s outstanding flute players: Francis O’Connor from Ardagh. Francis plays two reels - the first he learned from the playing of Paddy Taylor and the second he associates with Co. Sligo.

What kind of flute is Francis playing in this video? There is a fantastic tone off it. His playing is class too!

Gifted & Hypnotic
Thank you for the great clip. If I’m not mistaken, the tunes are called:
The Bush in Bloom
Lord Moira (aka. Bonnie Scotland)
The second one is often played as a fling, but a really nice tune as a reel too!
