ComhaltasLive #277-6: Session with Mick O’Connor and Anton Mac Gabhann
Next we present an informal session at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2008 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. The session was anchored by Mick O’Connor (banjo) from London, Anton Mac Gabhann (fiddle), originally from Co. Cavan and living in Co. Meath for many years, and Eddie Whelan (guitar) from Birr in Co. Offaly. They play two jigs composed by Vincent Broderick, who died a few weeks before the Fleadh. The jigs are: “The Whistler at the Wake” and “The Old Flail.”
