Brendan Power is far, FAR more than 'just a harmonica player' he's an Inventor, a Magician, a highly original Original, and a man whose name must have been chosen for him by a higher source, because being Mr. Power couldn't suit him better. Below are just two of the many videos of his music to be found on Youtube. There are some great ones with Andy White on guitar too, well worth watching.. Brendan and Lucy Randall - Sweet Bulgarity - Youtube 'Lorraine's Dream' - Brendan and friends - Youtube Brendan's Myspace And the last time I saw Lucy Randall, she was with Seth Lakeman in The Great Hall of Exeter University, playing to a packed out audience, wowing them all. Both superb musicians! Anyway, I hope you enjoy listening. :0) |

Thank you, Peter, they're wonderful! :0) You can hear them on that page, Ernest. Scroll to the bottom, blue highlighted titles..and press. Do they have a Myspace page? Can't seem to find one that's the correct 'Iron Lung' "Triple Harp Bypass" I love that! :0) |
