From 1982 Tommy Reck doing something highly illegal (smoking a pipe on TV). About 1/2 way in.
Clips from Willie Clancy’s funeral. About 2/3 in. (Even Ennis gets a look).
As always, go to www.tg4.tv click on ceol cartlann and on siar an bothar 01/01
Hmm anyone knows the name of the air at the end of the funeral footage? Is it Willie Clancy playing it?
It’s Spailpin a Run.
Pretty sure its a recording of Willie Clancey.
Tommy
Man, that’s cool seeing Tommy play. Think it’s a Dublin shape Peterson. The old days.
Yes, very cool to see Tommy play. A shame you couldn’t hear him play. Is it just me, or did the fiddle totally overpower Tommy’s B set? Also, funny to be reminded of a time when (tobacco) pipes were normal and everyday.
Where did Tommy’s B set end up? Is it a Kenna or a Coyne? What’s the lineage of that set?
