    Nice one Mike, Frank and Donal did some lovely albums together. There a pretty recent CD release from the 2 of them of previously unreleased material. As far as I know its a bit of a mixture of live performances and demos.

    Thanks John, I think that must be "When Adam Was In Paradise" from last year, I have all his other albums I think. I'll grab that one eventually but am waiting for 2 disks from Custy's right now, both featuring Cyril O'Donoghue. Never enough Irish bouzouki!

    You said it Mike, the Bouzouki reigns supreme!!! By the way, Frank Harte's son who is also an Architect like Frank, works in my building. It's a small world, well it is here in Ireland anyhow!!! Have played with Cyril a few times, a long long time ago. He's a mainstay of sessions in the Clare region and has appeared on a loada CDs. Has a really nice voice as well. Think he's playing a Manson now.

    Another nice bouzouki player from that neck of the woods is Pat Marsh, similar enough in style to Cyril .

    Thanks for the info about Pat Marsh, there's a player I don't know. And yep, Mr O'Donoghue is playing a Manson.

    Nice photos Mike, did you take them??? Unusual looking Manson. I've never seen one with a round hole before. Yeah Pat Marsh is a tasty bouzouki player. Brother of Josephine Marsh accordion player who has a beautiful easy on the ear style of playing. She's well worth a listen to.

    Nah, none of the pics I post will be taken by me, I'm just good at finding stuff on the web.

    You mean the Josephine Marsh in this video?

    A live clip of Moving Hearts playing 'The Lark'. Completely and utterly brilliant!

    Oh Lord... I haven't seen those guys since about 1983... must dig out the photos. That was the first time I met Donal in the flesh.
    Now I'm going to have to dig out 'The Storm' LP again...
    "Danger! Do Not Touch!" must be one of the scariest things to read in Braille....
