Can you, Name this Flute player -

I've been trying to get the name of this Flute player -

In my early days in ITM I can remember this great old
flute player.. All I remember He was a Grey to white
haired old guy, Played a Boehm system wooden flute ?
with a White Ivory ? Mouth piece at the top section.

I think the L.P. was him on it playing, and a sort of
Tara broach Celtic art design at a top corner of the Album
Any one here know who! - and his name ?

Not Boehm system, Jim. Radcliff. Famous for it, he was.

I meant to post this link: http://ceolalainn.blogspot.com/2010/02/paddy-carty-paddy-fahey-traditional.html

For some reason it is not working right now, but it is from the same site as above. I downloaded the link there just 3 weeks ago, so let's hope it's just a server error!

ethical blend -gooseinthenettles..

Thank-you for this correction on Radcliffe system. This post was for a Classical Flute who plays along with us sometimes in our session. He plays and teaches the Silver Flute to Classes , but is doing well with ITM.. I'll pass this on after I've Goggled it myself -lol.. Although he likely knew it as a Radcliffe system when he saw the video I sent. Thanks for Info - I look it up now !

Nico's right. I was thinking of saying, but you see it so often on the net with the 'e' on that I couldn't be bothered.

Re: Can you, Name this Flute player -

Talking about Flute players, I was sitting with a flute
player Leslie Bingham in a pub at a fleadh once. When he
introduced me to a flute player he knew, I think his name
was Burn's, maybe from clare. We had Tune or two mighty player
he could nearly blow the flute into Eb - lol.. Anyone know of
him and what he at now ??
A real fast powerful style of playing then anyway.

Re: Can you, Name this Flute player -

I was at the 1982 All-Ireland Fleadh in Listowel with the McHughs from Glasgow, and Jimmy, who knew Lesley Bingham well, introduced me to him. There was a mighty flute player in their company whose name I think was Joe Burns, from Mayo, I seem to remember.
Never heard of him again, but Benny might know.

One of my all time fave recordings is Paddy Carty with Mick O'Connor on banjo-magic!
