Nice videos, not sure I agree on the quality being great but lovely to see, Pauline Hanly singing the Bogs of Shanaheever and all.

Patsy and Pauline Hanly do the occasional gig together, Patsy backs her singing on the whistle, when I heard them the first time I was particularly enthralled by their version of 'Easter snow'.


Here's another pic, this one taken at last year's Willie Clancy singing recital, Patsy taking a break.

There are a few tracks by Patsy Hanly on some of the Comhaltas Tour LPs from the 1970s/ 1980s. I have a few recordings of him myself from a couple of trips he made to Scotland, and also from a Fleadh in the 1990s.
Patsy was special guest at Hammy's Flute Gathering last year, and was interviewed by Conal O'Grada. During the course of that conversation, the recording of a CD was definitely mentioned as being planned, but as far as I know, nothing has been released yet.
I'll have a listen to those recordings again to hear the quality. Unless there are any specific objections, I don't mind sharing them.
