What a terrific programme and wasn't it great also to see Siobhán, now a well recognised traditional artiste in her own right, playing along with her Dad! Tommy is one of those few people whose creativity knows no bounds as demonstrated by his song writing ability - this was the first I'd heard of his abilities in this area and the song he performed on the programme sounded as though it could have been around forever which is the true test of any new composition.
For anyone who missed the programme, it's repeated next Friday on TG4 at 8.00pm.

Re: Tommy Peoples
Apparently he's doing a workshop in Lewes, Sussex UK in 2009. I'll root out details if anyone's interested.
