Dermot Byrne
Dermot is known as Altan’s box player. On this CD which was recorded in 1995 he is accompanied by Stephen Cooney (git., keyb.) Trevor Hutchinson (dbl. bass) and Donal Lunny ( bouz., git.,bodh.)
I like his relaxed, crisp playing. He also offers a lot of variety on this CD.

Track 7: Winston in the 50’s
The tune that appears in this album as Winston in the 50’s is posted here as ‘Reichswall Forest’.

Track 7, the 2nd tune ‘is’ Dan R. McDonald’s reel “Reichswall Forest”
It’s not Winston ‘Scotty’ Fitzgerald’s reel setting of Neil Gow’s strathspey “Miss Erskine of Torry”, which some choose to call “Winston in the 50’s”…
But, a lovely rendition of Dan R.’s reel, brilliant! Thanks for the kick Dermot…
Thanks for that kuec… It’s a lovely reel…
Re: Dermot Byrne
Jimmy Lyon’s is #1 on track 4, and The Brown-Sailed Boat #2. The Laird O’ Thrums isn’t there at all. The final highland is Miss Ramsey - https://thesession.org/tunes/1639 (setting #1 is close enough, but it’s played in E).
