Listen to recordings of Michael Coleman or James Morrison and they are playing pretty bloody quickly.
so bloody what, it does not mean they were right , also it is possible or even probable that colemans music was speeded up when recorded, remember recording was primitive in those days and had to be played to fit on one side of a 78 rpm, for the record patrick kelly [clare fiddler] remarked that the worse thing that happened to irish styles were the recordings of coleman. coleman was sligo style.
next a quote from johnny o leary, the music is being played too fast
