Roadside Tavern live music session, act 4 - Blackie O'Connell and Cyril O'Donoghue

Blackie O'Connell and Cyril O'Donoghue have played in venues around the world, and for many who watched this session on Facebook, they were the long awaited duo - missing hearing them play in pubs around the area.
On St. Patrick's Day, 17 March 2021, the Roadside Tavern organised a 5 hour live session in the visitor centre of the Burren Smokehouse. This live session was streamed on the Roadside Tavern's Facebook page.
This live session was watched by hundreds of people around the world - with many heart-felt and personal comments being exchanged. Many people felt comforted by the Irish music in their far-away homes, feeling homesick at the same time.

The tune associated with Pat Broderick is Planxty Davis in Ireland, or Killicrankie in Scotland - I think!

[@craiggreerphotos]

Anyone got names for the first set of jigs?

[@12345flossie]

I think the first two are Finbar Dwyer's Favourite and Paddy Keenan's, don't know the third one I'm afraid.

[@petterfuhre17]

Third jig is Patsy Geary's, I think.

[@craiggreerphotos]

The second tune is a banger.

[@craiggreerphotos]
