Great Fluting

This is a clip of the young Seamus Tansey, with his parents on either side of him.
Let's not hear any Tansey-slagging. The man is great.

First one sounds like Kiss the Maid and the second think I know but I can't remember the name... and is there a third in there?

Anyone know for sure if the second guy to the left of Tansey is Jim Donoghue?

Yes that's Ó Catháin, Tansey is definitely not flanked by his "parents." The girl on his left almost looks like a very young Dolores Keane, but not quite.

Hello
Girl on left is Maire Ni Cathasaigh, the harpist (sister of Nollaig).
The fiddler beside Paddy G. is John O'Dwyer from Beara Peninsula in West Cork.
The chap with the tie you see at the start is Paddy King, the set dancer from Cooraclare ( I used to travel out with Paddy every friday to Comhaltas in Monkstown to get whistle lessons from Mick O hAllmhun when I was a teenager) and a very young looking Ollie Conway beside him. Program must have had a half set at some stage.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.
