Sorry to read this morning that guitarist Jimmy Faulkner has died. He played on many of Christy Moore's albums including the wonderful 'Live in Dublin' which also featured Dónal Lunny. A great loss indeed to Irish music.
As Ronan Collins said on RTE radio, " he was the archetypal side man, and happy to be just that".
A super musician, and a rock on stage, on electric or acoustic guitar. He played with all the best people in the business.
Jimmy Faulkner RIP

Agree wholeheartly, amhrán, a very fine guitarist. A totally natural player with great fluidity and wonderful slide work.

Sad news indeed... I treasure memories of hearing Jimmy all those years ago in Moran's in Talbot street and various other Dublin venues.
