That is the best rendition of Carrickfergus I have ever heard. Brian's voice, and how he uses it to convey emotion, and how he hits the notes so perfectly, the high ones faultlessly, sends shivers down my spine. Well done, Brian.

I love the way brian uses alternate tuning.
My mother used to listen to him.
