TED McCORMAC - Black Velvet Band - Live @ O'Connor's Pub, Doolin, Co. Clare, Eire

Ted McCormac is among the best and most powerful singers I ever heard singing. This clip gives only a little insight... Go to Doolin, here him sing!
Ted is a great source of inspiration since I first heard his voice in McGann's Pub in Doolin in 1993. Singing with all of your heart, with glowing eyes. No matter if it's tearjerkers like Call and the Answer, Song for Ireland or Working man or songs like Black velvet band...
It was great talking to him, giving him a CD with the song mentioning him:
"We're skulling Pints in auld Doolin
Ted McCormac blows us away
The old man is rough and ready
But we can no longer stay..."
(The Ceili Family - Life is getting shorter - off the album "Tory Kings" / / theceilifamily )
He said he liked the CD - which is more than flattering!
Hope to meet up again!

This is a man who'd sing, -not only 'til the cows came home, but 'til the barrel ran dry.
May he stay in fine voice for many a year to come -Go West young man -And sup with Ted in Doolin.
