@elcbk if you search on youtube there was an event in 1990 that allowed Boston College to interview some of the fiddlers that youll hear referenced by some now.   Tommy Potts, Paddy Cronin...  Paddy Cronins interview is great!.   Its not fair and difficult to judge by a 45 min interview 30 years later... but He seemed like one of those guys youd be happy to see come through the door.   Its pretty interesting to hear his views about where Irish music was then ,1990 , and you can hear his concern for it.  Also he explains how the different areas styles would have worked ...how the dynamics played out when people from different areas played together.  Youll like it.   id share but better probably you find on youtube and just watch there due to some off music topics.

yeah youre watching same stuff.   i actually said Potts instead of Andy Mcgann as part of the Boston college series.  i had juat watched those Tommy Potts videos though along with a few others.   either way, interesting to me.
