Surprised I could not find this here. A great recording. I like Brendan’s fiddling here better than on his "Music of a Champion" LP; it sounds freer and slightly more improvised. It can be heard here:

"Music of a Champion" is here:

Gosh, this is a surprise I do believe that I was ‘compering’ the Club that night, though my dulcet tones have edited out! I was one of the organisers and usually compered evenings of Irish music (e.g. Seamus Ennis, etc.). Brendan is one of the greats.

This is from the BBC Archives site, I forget what they call it, Terry Yarnell was one of the contributors and made this tape, which you can download in the UK but only listen to elsewhere; I made MP3s of the streaming audio, which is what you have here. FYI. Those files are still up far as I know, lots of great music. A box player at a session was raving about how great this tape was, I did the "ahem" thing and explained its provenance.

Why hasn’t Breandan been back in a studio? He’s my favorite of his generation, yes, fond as I am of any Glackin/Peoples/Burke/etc. This guy’s on fire!
