Grand music and great pictures! - thanks so much for this. Both bring back memories. A storming track, too. On the first le Cheile album Tom Madden sang - and played 5-string banjo on George White's Reel, I seem to to remember - maybe on other items too.
Great to see Jimmy Power (I think) and Reg Hall together and then Danny Meehan as the last image. I've sat for hours watching Danny play over the years. He's a real education. Raymond was a gentleman, too, and a great player. Great playing all round, and P.J. Crotty, God rest him and Roland and Jimmy. (And congratulations on the photography.)
