"I believe guitar and bodhran players who operate in traditional circles are people of low esteem and undiscerning musical tastes. Noise is substituted for actual music. These instruments add nothing to our music but take a lot from it."

Our man Duffy has clearly not heard Arty McGlynn, Chris Newman, Tony McManus, Ed Boyd, John Joe Kelly and others...

I refrain from further comment lest I utter a rude word...
