"Mark Canning is a guitar player’s player. He has the most subtle of touches yet the sound he produces is so right for every piece he is playing.
People will strive for years and be unable to reproduce the exquisite accompaniment that Mark brings to the band." Paul Creighton, Dunure Music Festival.
(thanks Paul, I'll give you that tenner as soon as I get my feckin banjo back!)
"Mark IS an important member of the band!" Ramsay and the rest of Fyvie Folk Club, while heckling BACK at Lyra Celtica at Aberdeen Folk Club.
Ahh, never mind that....listen to this, Sean Maguire...

Guitar players: Arty McGlynn, David Gilmour & Gordon Giltrap. No one other than these three. Masters of Taste !
The best fiddle player ever to grace the planet, Mr Sean Maguire.
And on flute, eccentric nutter but great in sessions and an absolute gentleman, Mr Seamus Tansey:
Before anything else, I have to express a special thank you to friend Conor O'Malley, without whom I doubt I'd be playing music at all just now. Introduced me to the music I love, and was always there to encourage me when I was forever wanting to give up trying to play it.
So a special thanks !
