Lovely sweet music Thank You

[@tomgreene2282]

Who is John Cunningham....where did he get that flute?

[@TradTG4]

All we know about him is he was a man from Kileenadeema close to Loughrea in Galway so if anyone has anything to add to this we would love to hear from you !

[@tomgreene2282]

@@TradTG4 Thanks for reply. He was playing a rather unusual flute nicely...and was wondering as to where he might have got it.
