I just came across this clip while browsing for something else. It brought tears to my eyes. I knew Josie and Tommy very well as a boy and a young man growing up in North Roscommon. Indeed they often played in our house when I was just a child. Fond memories indeed!
A date for your diaries; Session in Kilronan Castle May2nd the unveiling of a bronze bust of Josie will take place.All musicians and music lovers are welcome .
My maternal grandfather Patrick McDonough emigrated from Ballyfarnon in 1906; the house he grew up in was then lived in by his sister Mary Ellen and her husband, Michael McDermott. When my brother visited in the mid-60s he met Josie. Does anyone know the relation (if any) between Michael and Josie? Siblings? Cousins? Thanks!

Great rhythm and excellant pitch. A flute player to emulate, respect and cherish. Thanks for posting this clip.
Beautiful tempo and lift to that music. Thanks for uploading
This is simply priceless!!!
I met Tommy Flynn in 1972 and made a few recordings of him, which I treasure!
Lovely post great players! Thanks

Hi, do you know the source of this footage? I wanted to find out the possibility of using it in a documentary.
