I met him a couple of times; once in New Jersey and a couple of years ago in Manchester. What a nice man.

Great songs; The Old Claddagh Ring, The Galway Shawl, The Rocks Of Bawn and too many more to mention.

The Merry Ploughboy even crept into the lower regions of the English charts for a couple weeks in 1966.
