Off the wall stuff from the Dublin fiddler. It doesn't really add to the material recorded on 'The Liffey Banks' and IMHO confirms that his variations were well practiced rather than spontaneous. However, of all the various attempts over the years to 'jazz up' Irish Traditional Music this is the only one I've heard which rings true. I've had a complete blank with some of the tune names.

I love Tommy's music, this is about the best of the private tapes - I have some other material recorded by John Kelly but it has pretty tinny audio. Very passionate musician, and the variations are amazing, even if they were by and large canned as you suggest.

Thanks guys. Not a lot of gems left I fear. I had some RTE recordings of Tommy Potts made for the 'Long Note' radio program years ago but I haven't seen the relevant cassette for ages. Once again, though, it was more of the same.
This is so incredibly rad :) Thanks
