James Byrne R. I. P.

I just heard, from two different & reliable sources, the very sad news indeed, that the legendary Donegal Fiddle player JAMES BYRNE was taken from us, suddenly, last night.

I only actually met him once myself, but I must say he came across as an honest, decent & generous man.

He will of course be sadly missed by thousands & thousands of musicians around the World, both young & old.

Here is the mighty man himself playing with Danny Meehan & Tommy Peoples:
