A wonderful, wonderful player. Heard his recording of The Brendan Voyage yesterday and its beauty is extraordinary.
Gorgeous stuff indeed.
Condolences to his family, friends and many fans.
He was a brilliant piper and will be sorely missed.
Well said.
the good people at golden discs would do well to hold a competition on liam óg o’flynn. my fave is the poet & the piper with seamus heaney:
