I've been playing fiddle since June of 05 and switched teachers in October of 06. Since then, I've been dying for Sliabh Luachra fiddlers, and I spent a whole summer just learning tunes from Denis Murphy and Padraig o'Keeffe. Now it's Julia Clifford and Paddy Cronin. Any recordings you have of any of the four of them I'd love to have! (Looking for Hickey's Reel and Teampall an Gleanntan, both recorded by Breanndan Breathnach as played by D. Murphy.)
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Caoimhin o'Raghallaigh and MUST have EVERY recording of him EVER, so...be aware!
