- This week I was lucky enough to interview an absolute giant of the Irish guitar world, Frank Kilkelly! Known as a guitarist, singer and teacher, Frank has played with loads of amazing musicians from Brendan Power to Sharon Shannon, to Boys of The Lough. He is also the author of Accompanying Irish Music On Guitar, which presents a hands on "learn by playing" approach. In this clip we talk guitars, tunings, history and Tommy Peoples' accordion lamps!
Huge thanks to Quentin for setting up this interview.

Really excellent interview with interesting advice. Amazing guy who has obviously lived a very interesting life. Thanks for arranging this Nye.
No problem, thank Quentin who sorted out out for me :)
Very useful and informative - thanks!
Thankyou for watching! 😊
This was really great Nye. Mighty stuff 👍 Frank is a hero of a man
Thank you! It was pot luck to meet him but I'm really glad I did :)
Gonna have to share this to Matt Heaton!
He also learnt the fidil with Tommy Peoples 😺
I wouldn’t guessed it was the same legendary Tommy Peoples
I know, I couldn't believe Tommy Peoples also made lamps! Really cool
Loved Tommy people's playing
Filled in some gap's in my knowledge.
Many thanks 👍
No problem!
A great interview. I loved the approach about supporting the lead melody -get the rythm and tone right and you dont need to be too fancy - "glorified snare drum" - I can aspire to that :)

Ah! I got his methodish Book + Disk
I like his all-around reference style.
I wonder what guitars he plays on
Aha you'll find out later in the video :)
I asked him about modes but he doesn’t use Dorian or Mixolydian words
I wasn't seeing the link for Emerald in the description below?
