Mike Whellans used to play guitar in the Boys of the Lough. I didn't realise that he was also into blues harmonica. A very able performance!
Here he is playing guitar in a clip from a concert in Salt Lake City (he switches to piano for Captain Carswell and Jig of Slurs). Quite a different style, I think you'll agree!
Boys of the Lough Salt Lake City concert from a Schanachie video that is apparently out of print. Margaret's Waltz / Captain Carswell / Jig of Slurs
