I met him once, back stage at a 'Woman's Heart' concert in Bristol - just before Carmina were due to record our first album in Dublin - he said 'I'll be recording just down the road from you, so if you'd like me to join you it'll be a pleasure'. It never happened, due to the very tight schedule we had when we recorded 'Weather in the Heart', with Donal Lunny producing. It was no-one's fault, but I've regretted it to this day and always will - he was the fore-runner, the man who showed that it was possible to play Irish music on the guitar - which in theory (and in practice) is very difficult, as Irish music is based on the 5th interval, and the guitar is tuned in 4ths. He makes it look so effortless - but we are watching here, and in all his later recordings, a true musical genius at work, a player who embodies the music - who IS the music. He plays the music from within, not from without - I mean he is not imposing the guitar on it, but somehow finding from within the guitar the way to play what many of us had felt was both impossible and inappropriate. God bless him.

@@jungleninja8415 brought up from 7 to 18 in the same town (Omagh) as Arty - between Omagh and Killyclogher in fact - but I'm not so pretentious as to call it "trad". I don't know any Irish people who call it "trad" - "traditional" or "folk" maybe. Some (disparagingly) call it "fiddle-dee-dee" music however.

Yes, I do wonder - would there be more footage around somewhere from these so called 'RTÉ Dublin studio in December 1980' sessions? Maybe some of these were during his recording of "McGlynn's Fancy"? People would probably pay for copies but of course sharing via youtube would ensure maximum accessibility!

Brian Crehan Don't get me wrong, Andy is one of the masters and I wish I could play half as well as him. I just mean that it sounds suspiciously like the exact audio on his album, complete with a very nicely overdubbed rhythm guitar. My guess is the vid is a made-for-tv top-of-the-popsy-type thing. It's impressive to watch a master at work though, and great that it's captured for posterity. I just wish I could see it live!
