Made my absolute day to see and hear this Brian. You don’t know how much joy it brought to hear Tos speaking and playing again. Unfortunately In this digital age, all the videos and pictures I have over the years of him were lost through time on my phones, so I’m delighted this has survived. Tos was the first piper I ever seen play live, outside my front gate in athy at the annual neighbrohood mass. He became a mentor to me in the pipes and lived next door to me on the Carlow road. He was such a kind generous and musical man, who took me under his wing and taught me a lot. I could go on forever , but I’ll never forget our cherished memories together over the years. Taken from us far too soon. RIP Joe Byrne
