What a great composer. RIP.
Such a big loss, and for Irish culture too, RIP Mícheál O’Suilleabhain
…I was at a concert a few years ago and realised it was the first time I’d heard him live even though he formed a musical backdrop throughout my life…also playing with him was Liam O’Flynn…how priviliged I was to be there…
