Very, very sad news from Ireland.

I think many of us here owe an enormous amount to the ground-breaking music of Planxty and the way they fused traditional Irish music with mandolins and bouzouki in a way that hadn't been heard before. I'm pretty sure my own life would have been quite different if I hadn't started playing the mandolin, becoming involved in playing Scottish music after being inspired by the wonderful music coming out of Ireland at the time.
RIP Liam, and thanks for the music and so much more.
