Are Hugie Travers/Garrett Barry's alternate names for 10?
Thanks again for all your trouble in finding this folks. I really dig JC's playing as well as the fun of having this whole mystery solved!
He's on The Flute Players of Roscommon Volume 1 and Comhaltas web archives. I have his old flute, R&R #1747, probably the most-worn R&R ever, and probably not all original sections.Adrian W. wrote:I have that recording, but never heard the name John Carlos before today.

I'm guessing @carloslarge from Roscommon might know something more.Adrian W. wrote:I have that recording, but never heard the name John Carlos before today. Not that much online. Can anyone fill in the details?

All I know is that I love John Carlos's playing. He'd be one of flute players I'd be most interested in meeting if I made it up to Sligo/Roscommon.
If you search Google forsome nice videos come up.Code: Select all
"John Carlos" flute
Had no difficulty downloading and listening, thank you!kenny wrote:Seems to have worked OK - 6 tracks of flute and banjo. The tape was titled "The Lancers". I'll scan and upload it too.
[Emphasis added]"John Carlos – John has lived all his life in the townland of Castleplunkett, an area of the county which traditionally has been strong for music. He started on the tin whistle at the age of six. With the help of his father, John also, who was a great flute and fiddle player, John Junior moved on to the flute. John joined a well known local ceili band, The Killina, at the age of 15 and played with them for many years. John has been an All-Ireland champion in the under-age flute competitions and he has also toured Britain, USA and Europe with CCE. John is also an outstanding banjo player. He plays extensively in the local area, both in sessions and in a group called The Lancers, John is about to release his long awaited first solo recording.
