What a giant! He came from a background of Western European art (classical) music, became enthralled with Irish trad, and ended up changing the course of all Irish music. His fiddler/singer/scholar/TG4 presenter granddaughter Doireann Glackin recently produced a touching documentary on him.

His son Peadar’s music is marvellous. Seek him out!
Thank you for posting this. I LOVED his music.
