The wonderful and beautiful Dave Killen passed away on Friday. This footage of him performing two of his own tunes was filmed in 2001, as part of a series of one minute films commissioned by Irish language broadcaster TG4.
On the day of filming, Dave decided to play two of his own compositions, to give us a choice. We ended up selecting the second tune from this video. The recording of the other tune ended up in the archive (i.e. attic).
I dug out the original tape yesterday. It hadn't been played in 20 years, but thankfully it was still playable, and the tape deck co-operated. It was wonderful to hear the other tune, after all these years. Great to see him as he will be remembered by many...
