John Wilsons son here. Dad was thrilled to bits to see this! Hopefully there is more footage of when he sang on the show. He remembers Jimmy used to pick him up in an old Jag from Loughry Collage to go to session around the place. He also says to Gemma Hasson (Who was in the same show) "I'll have to get that Joan Baez record back to you" He still has it!
Paddy Dargan here. God be good to Jimmy. I remember playing with him many times. Most memorable was when he fell off a straw bale on stage whilst playing - he just carried on as if nothing had happened! Professionalism!
He was back in Oct/Nov last year and missed the Cookstown sessions by one night! He remembers Mario's 21st very well! he said he got a lift from the Torrent bar in a mini van with greyhounds in the back haha
Noel, John Wilson the gutarist in this clip, now resident in Australia, was chuffed to see it so that he could show his kids how handsome he was when he was young :-) He recorded twice for "As I Roved Out". I don't suppose you have any more of this material?
