Re: Mairtin O'Connor Band @ Comhaltas Melbourne Australia March 2010
What fabulous videos. Lovely playing by Mairtin and Cathal. Don't know who the guitarist is. In video three, the first reel is The Humours of Tulla, unsure of second reel, third reel is Cooley's and the fourth is The Wise maid. I had no idea these guys were in Melbourne. How long are they in the area for and have they any other gigs?. I'm a great fan of Cathal Hayden and would love to see him in concert or in a session.

They're coming to Canberra next week. Guitarist is Seamie O'Dowd of Dervish. I saw him on fiddle on Geantri and he's
a monster on that instrument.

The first set is collectively called "The Goat Jig". It is a composition of Mairtin's and can be found on the album, "The Road West".
