I lived in Dublin for most of the 70’s and saw Planxty many times. It was a great decade for Irish music.

Christy and the great Planxty at their best! I see a poster below remarks on the accents - I've heard that people from Newfoundland have Irish accents.

[@sinjin480]

@CastletoKarma People from St. Johns do, or some variant of it. Every where else has an accent more or less distinct to that area. Every little bay has it's own dialect and slang.

From listening and watching he is playing: Capo 3 3/4ths rhythm Am D D Am Am Am D D Am Am D D Am D D Am

[@decko87]

Ten years later... He's in an open tuning. It's Am - G with capo on 3.
