Re: young whistler on 'Come West along the Road'
yeah I tried that briefly this morning. Felt like too much effort was required so I posted here. I'll check it out again now.
He was a talented young lad. I'm just wondering if he kept it up.

His brother Joe is a great sean-nós dancer and box player and the dad Joe is a supremely gifted singer.
