Martin Gaffney (Irish flute) with his daughter Eleanor on the concertina.
Excellent Irish flute compilation, with Eddie Moloney, John Carlos, Jack Dolan, Josie McDermott, Packie Duignan, Patsy Hanly, John Joe Gardiner, & Marcus Hernon. The recordings seem to be archive recordings, some of which have appeared on RTE radio. They provide an excellent cross section of several Irish flute playing styles.
Born in 1932, in Cloonfeighrin, Co Mayo, near the Sligo border, Roger Sherlock started playing on a Clarke whistle. He emigrated to London in 1953, and played with all the big names of that period; he recorded for Raidio Eirinn’s Job of Journeywork, and played with the Dunloe, Hibernian et Thatch Ceili Bands. He returned to live in Ireland in 1996.
Paddy Carty (1929-85) was an Irish flute player from Rafford, Loughrea in County Galway, and like Mike Rafferty was a major exponent of the East Galway style of flute playing.
He played on a Radcliff System instrument, a keyed flute with similar fingering to the simple system flute, which allowed him to play in a traditional style, but also to play in keys not normally used by flute players.
