ha, that takes me back.
Believe it or not, it was those hair styles that made me take up the music in the first place

Some of us still have ( most of those ) hairstyles, even if it’s gone a bit grey !
I had severe desynchronisation on playback, ended with Christy Moore still playing the harmonium even when I could hear the bodrhan. But that’s technology for you. I know he did pick it up, it just didn’t want to play in synch on my old iMac. Wouldn’t want to suggest they were miming or something.

Wow - lovely stuff. Thansk for the link, dafydd

…or even "thanks"

"Thansk" is a place in Scotland (probably).

I have transcribed the Black Smithereen, or the instrumental after Planxty’s The Blacksmith. If anyone is interested I can email you a pdf.
