I'll add a few more bits and pieces, to bring them together in the one thread. Here is another member of the extended Doran family, the late John Rooney. Rooney was married to a daughter of Felix Doran and is very close to Felix's style of playing. There was an lp of Felix's playing, recorded at Keele. Some bits and pieces of his music were recently rediscovered and released on cd. Felix was Johnny's brother. The Keenans and the Fureys are other well-known pipers with a traveller background.
