you misread what I wrote about Tommy Makem. He was really the only Irish banjo player anyone in America really had any exposure to. He made the Clancy Brothers watchable and listenable on the old Hootenany show. If wasn't for his banjo, I wouldn't of even wasted my time with any Irish music. I never heard of the guy you mentioned.
