That is how they continued the make the music they wanted . No one promoted them

He was brilliant. 👍

Why is it cringe?

@@PatrickNesbitt43 to be honest I don't even know. I don't remember watching this or leaving this comment. I do know I love firehose and minutemen.

No Sean and Barney both played a paragon

​@@liammckenna4084 im sean ogs son and that banjo did originally belong to barney

@@jamesmckenna5438 is it the same banjo barney played with the dubliners?

@@liammckenna4084 no he had his own banjo for Dublin'ers it's gold trim. But he might have used that one in the early days

Thanks for the info Jimmy I played your father's banjo a few times when he used to stay with us a legendary player and instrument

Minutemen changed my outlook on rock music 10 years ago and Iwas so late to the party this band is underated even in their DIY sphere and its kind of a shame - best 3 pieces musicians I ever had the chance to dig into and Im a nervana fan

Nice to hear the some younger folks are still discovering and appreciating their work. I was one of the lucky ones who saw firehose live and met Mike a few times during and after those days. Always approachable and friendly. He was a massive influence on me as a bass player. I miss firehose deeply. I was just a touch too young for the minutemen but certainly picked up on them way back in the day when I first learned of them. I’m now in my 50’s but I feel Mike, Ed and George influenced a LOT of people. Those who knew, just simply knew. My jaw dropped the first time I saw them. They were just so epically talented and tight. Miss them.

Incorrect.

When did he die?

@@Matute7231 Christmas day, over 5 years ago

@@soapstuff6212 Oh I see. Very sorry, great artist. Thank you

toeyen, thanks for that info. I'll contact that company and see what can be done.

Toyen, I have today received a copy of the Album from the contact you supplied. I will be forever grateful to you for the lead. Such a great pity that Sean Og McKenna passed on last Christmas day. RIP.

Great news! Glad I could be of help! Sorry to learn of Sean Og's death though - I didn't know that. Another great musician gone. I doubt we will ever hear a banjo sound like that of Sean Og and Barney McKenna again. Andrew was also an unfamiliar name for me until I searched for Sean Og. Sounds like a very good singer - but I was too late yet again.

We'll hear all that good stuff again one day. Until then I'll settle for the CD.

hi Paul thanks for watching the vid. I'm the guitar player on this. I now have a beard also but the main reason is it's just too cold out there at the mo! ha. B

mevidyo Haha, Play the autoharp myself. I wish I lived in Ireland, there is so much good folk music there. Maybe I should retire there, everybody wishes I would retire here. :-)

Why not stir it up a bit where YOU live?
