He was! He was an amazing singer who reached a wide audience quite late in life. I remember him singing at a concert during the Ennistymon Traditional Singing festival many years ago, in the converted church which served as community hall. Balanced precariously on two sticks and swaying gently in front of the microphone, he utterly dominated his audience. Even when you couldn't really hear the words he sang, the emotion and the story seemed to communicate directly to you - along with Con's own enjoyment of the song.
I may have a copy of Con's words somewhere - though he was well capable of changing them from performance to performance!
