Had a listen to the Lament for Thomas Ashe. Beautiful. Never heard anyone else play it, how about over there Peter? And anyone know anything more about it? Why does James O’Neill spring to mind? Round about the right time...

Any idea as to what the air is? It's quite lovely.

Goodman is a gas. I have 18 tunes and every one a corker. And everyone finds their own stuff: I played a tune for Mick O Brien at the tionol last month, and he had never heard it. That sort of a way.
ITMA does amazing work. Check out the Grier collection online too. Then send them some money.
