Able to sound like there is two of him when he needs to. That is why he has played with so many other great artists. He was terrific when he was in Solas. That said, put him along side the fantastic Liz Carroll and it doesn't get any better.

One thing to think about. Not all of the Celtic nations play in the styles of those we think of most. Who is a great Cornish guitarist, for instance.

Finally, check out John Nicholson, one half of Frogwater. He is a super player of Celtic and other flavors. Incredibly versatile.

+1 for John Doyle

fantastic rythm player to back up irish music in my opinion
