hi David thanks for alerting me to the “Traveller Pipers” DVD. I first heard Mr Rooney at the first (?) “Doran” weekend in Wicklow town in 2000. I, frankly could not believe what I was hearing, the wonderful life affirming strains of Felix & Johnny right there in front of me and yes the continuo...
