Na Fili ( meaning the poets in Gaelic) was a group built around Tomás Ó Canainn in the late 1960s. Ó Canainn was a uilleann piper, accordion player, singer, composer, researcher, writer and lecturer in both electrical engineering and music. He was a founder of the group Na Fili with fiddler Matt Cranitch and whistle player Tom Barry. They gained considerable popularity and recorded several albums. The NME in 1974 voted them the best Folk group and a further reviewer at that time commented that "no one, but no one can touch them". So judge for yourself....xx
