Pat Neilly was probably the finest and most generous fiddle player I ever came across. Played for the dance as well and always gave full measure to the tune and the dancers. Once saw him play for 6 hours at a Feis with only a lunch break, his playing at the end was as perfect as when he started. In the car back he was still saying "do you know this one?" and whistling tune after tune.

Sadly he died of cancer these many years back.

All the best
