This video fragment, which has been taken from Sé Mo Laoch - Eoiní agus Danny Mhaidhcí Ó Súilleabháin, , probably illustrates the point that Nell is an intergral part of the Baile Mhuirne singing tradition. And probably shows, in the context of this thread, how singing and music in Ireland keeps going.

Ofcourse Nell sang in folkclubs. She also sang at Electric Picnic and who knows where else. Neither was however instrumental in forming her as a singer, which was my point earlier.
