Anyone know where Johnny Moynihan is now? He was in my opinion a major force in the development of folk music in Ireland, but never had any interest in the commercial side of it so got bypassed by people with less talent and taste.

I think he lives in Galway and still does the occassional gig. I saw him a couple of years ago in Cobh at the Maritmime Song Festival. He did a great set.
