Pádraig O'Keeffe - Sliabh Luachra Fiddle Master

A long deleted and now extremely rare recording of the Sliabh Luachra fiddle player and teacher Pádraig O'Keeffe taken from RTÉ archive (RTÉ - CD174 - 1993) recordings made by Séamus Ennis between 1947 and 1949. This is absolutely brilliant Sliabh Luachra music, and the final set of tunes - a duet with Denis Murphy - is a classic [source ceolalainn]
