I knew the area of Sliabh Luachra was known for it's music, dance & poetry.

I just didn't realize the extent!

I've recently started to learn more about some of the area talent, but just stumbled on a fiddler I hadn't heard anything about - 'Paddy Jones'!

@stringy , @ABitRusty -

Do either of you know about Paddy Jones & his fiddling?

The Sliabh Luachra site has a wonderful 6 part video series, recorded with Paddy Jones before he passed away.

Paddy Jones chats with Eoin Stan O'Sullivan. This is part of a six part video series made by Ailbhe Keogan and Michael Kelly. Paddy is a great musician and teacher who has a deep understanding of Sliabh Luachra music. He is one of the few surviving pupils of the great Pádraig O'Keeffe.

Well, he's not surviving now, unfortunately - here's a link to these 6 videos.
