Northern Ireland's best musician.....

[Shamrock Shore]

...must be Henry McCullough

You can take your Gary Moores, Van the Grumpy Aud Git, SLF, Undertones, Petrols, etc but his man has been there, seen that, done that.

Supported Hendrix, played Woodstock with Joe Cocker, slipped Janis Joplin a length, played with Irvine and Moynihan in Sweeney's Men, played with McCartney in the Wings Showband.

Surely a legend

Listen to his interview with Anderson.

Have to say, wouldn't exactly be a music connoisseur but any time I have seen him play his Blues music in The Empire I have been highly impressed.

Jim Daly was the King of Blues music in Ulster

[J70]

In terms of influence and impact, no one from the north comes close to Van Morrison. None of the rest of them have produced landmark albums like Astral Weeks or songs like Into The Mystic.

Tommy Makem gives him a run for his money, though.

Henry and Rab are two different people.

Would have thought that Paul Brady would have to be up there with the most influential musicians to hail from the North.

Seamus Moore          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiQ1kkknU_k


but seriously I'd go with Gary Moore but he's the only one I have seen live thats been mentioned. Henry McCollough has an impressive CV alright though.

Well I thought you must be confused if you were even putting Rab even in the same league as Henry. But then if you are not a 'connoisseur', what else can we expect.

I can play the skin flute pretty well. Can I nominate myself?
