    I lived in Dublin from '75 to '79 when all this was happening, best years of my life. What a great band...but wouldn't have been quite as great without Alec's amazing bouzouki accompaniment.

    I met them in California, lovely people! This band so impressed me!! I had a chance to live in Ireland for a couple years, I was so excited to go to the land of this fantastic music! Well, I never left, and have lived here now for 30 years. Love Ireland, love the music and art! Love De Dannan!

    in the seisun I like to just back on bouzouki or guitar but every once and awhile if I get a chance on the banjo ive got a set that I end with the flowers of red hill always gets some heads turning

    Would be great to see this De Danann back playing again. There's no band out there at the minute playing this kind of music. Great stuff.

    • @edelahaye
      @edelahaye 6 лет назад +1

      Quite impossible. The tensions between Frankie and Alec are too high.

    • @edelahaye
      @edelahaye 6 лет назад

      Actually, bands playing at that level exist, of course. For instance :

    The first tune sounds like "Cunla", a well known old Irish tune.

    Johnny Moynihan, the man who introduced the bouzouki into irish folk music, can't really get it going here. Finally he gives in and retreats to the bodhran.

    Listen to this and wake up all you young irishmen. Does not this sound a lot nicer, before Gerry Connor-influnce and strange chording?
