The photo is also in the Tom Busby collection. It was published in Ceol na hÉireann no 1, 1993 p.8. The copy NPU published looks signed by Flahery and according to the caption had a note on the back 'John Flaherty, a Kerryman'.

The guy's got no drones. Is that why he is so happy? But maybe he's laughing because he knows the geeks will be wondering where they are!

Well there's a baritone drone peeking out there behind the bass regulator and probably a tenor drone hidden. I wonder if Flaherty could be a relation of Dingle's Mazz O'Flaherty?
