A fine person and musician. As he told me the story of this recording, most of the tunes for him were 'gan ainm', without name, but the recording company, the folks at Mulligan, didn't want an album with that many nameless tunes to it. So, they asked him to be creative and he was. I hope Mulligan can come back with some of these gems. This is a great album, as are many of their past efforts and results...
Denis Doody is one of the acknowledged experts on Slieve Luachra music and has given many lectures and workshops on the subject.
He lives in Shannon but has been off the scene for the last year or so because of poor health.
It would be good news to hear that he has recovered and is back playing again.
