It has to be said that any tune that Eddie played was a good one, whether on flute or fiddle. He came from a great family of musicians in east Galway, and began an early career at fourteen when he was invited to play with the Ballinakill Céilí Band. This is one of his flute tunes that recently came to my attention.
