Now that is lovely music, unlike most of the Fleadh competitors, this is music I would like to listen to.  Don’t know about the technical side but can’t believe he didn’t win.  Doesn’t appear he was even placed!  What were the judges thinking?  I’d have given him first place for pure musicality and style.  Up the Dubs!
