Thanks Charlie - three great reels here. I recognised the last two (Kerry/Green Fields of Rossbeigh and the Killavil) but not sure about the first. Maybe someone out there can help.
"Down in Doolin" and "Across the Pond" are two of his recordings and are among my favorite recordings. He often plays with a fabulous fiddler by the name of Yvonne Casey. Both of them regularly play in the pubs in Doolin and at least for me they are a "must hear" on my trips to Ireland.

Ah, that's right, Yvonne plays Arthur Daley's on one of those CDs I think. Good stuff.
And I really like Kevin's Humours of Castlefin as well.

Re: Kevin Griffin
He's also on both of the Ceili Bandits CDs.

Re: Kevin Griffin
One of those CDs, I have the first copy sold, signed by Eoin O'Neill, so it says.
