I just came upon this website and was glad I did.I’ve been to 2 Fleadh’s,one in 8/91 and last in 8/93 and loved it.I’m from NY ,my father’s a ceili drummer,Jimmy Kelly Sr.,he’s drummed w/the Tulla when they’ve been out here and he’s been to the late,great Paddy O’Brien’s hometown in Nina,Tipp. and listened to a seisun w/him and the late,great Aggie White so it was cool to see her grandson playing the fiddle here on this website.Ned Kelly’s got a real smooth style in my opinion,they’re both great!I used to take box lessons from John Nolan,NY who won All-Ireland in 1982,a decade before Ned Kelly!? Small world.Well thanks for the great tunes,yours in Irish music,AnnaMaryRivet.(nee Kelly).

Ned, saw you play back in Sudbury Ontario twelve years ago… your playing is even better. Small world, my cousin and her children have now taken music lessons from you in Tipperary.
Cheers to Irish Traditions.
