Can't get any better with Altan...great video, Adrien, thanks.
A long time ago, in a Mudcat far, far away...a young man from England by the name of Sam Pirt, son of Graham Pirt, came to Mudcat Radio and performed for us. The denizens of Mudcat gathered that day around their glowing screens, around the world, some of them even there at Mudcat Central where the great Max and the Elves brought us Live Mudcat Radio with Video. Before the mighty crash, you could see an archive of that great and glorious day and others of Mudcat Radio.
On that day, young Sam Pirt, who also put out a CD with the venerable Mudcatter, Bill Sables, sat and played for us. There was not a bone in his body that didn't get into moving with the music, at times it looked as if his feet would take off on their own and dance the night away. He played for all he was worth and we all were in a glorious abandon with the music around us, while we passed on our hurrahs and cheers in a wonderful chatroom. It was stupendous.
I've just had a look for Sam Pirt. You may hear him at his MySpace site, but that won't give you an idea of the riproarin' time we had with his rapid playing of that day. He does play a beautiful blended tune, though. Learn more about Sam and the others he plays with at Sam Pirt dot com.
