The Boy In The Gap



Paddy Taylor with Peadar Mercier
Paddy Taylor from County Limerick spent his adult life as a technician in the British film industry. Music remained his dominant passion, however, and his flute- playing was an important part of several legendary London céilí bands. Here he plays solo, with a constant reference to the previous generation of west Limerick players. Dance tunes are interspersed with song airs, some in most unusual forms.
