Mick O'Connor videos

I am happy to announce that I have found two of the Mick O'Connor videos that went missing from Youtube. Unfortunately I can only find one instrumental video and one song, but that is better than nothing.

Here is one of them:

Lovely stuff.

Thank you, Jakep.

In another musical vein, heard this yet? No banjos, but I rather liked it.

whangee:
Very sorry,I cannot put a name to it, sounds familiar and makes me think I heard Cathal Hayden play it. I shall work on it, meanwhile the scholars here likely will identify it long before I do.
I like the banjo players manner, makes it sound a bit loose and fancy-free at times, as if anyone could do it.
If only that were true.
:-P
I once heard one of Earl Scruggs sons picking on guitar, a tune he picked up from a friend of his father's, brilliant flamboyant technical guitar work. Simply mazing.

He said the tune was called "Nothing To It."
Grr.

Cheers.
