[Harp-L] Tom Byrne - Irish Harmonica

[Tony Eyers <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow! What a player. He's totally slipped my radar, I thought I knew who 
was who in this scene. I wonder if Brendan knows him?

The thing I particularly like is the control that he has. Often you get 
the feeling of a runaway train when harmonica players do the Irish 
tunes. It may sound OK, but the train is only just holding on to the tracks.

Not so with this guy. Everything is just where he wants it to be. The 
same was true with Brendan's "New Irish Harmonica" album, which showed 
me and many others that this music could be played with passion and 
absolute precision. From the samples I've heard, I'd put this guy up 
there with Brendan.

Maybe we could entice him on to harp-l?
