I've never heard any of the tunes in his set and I've played trad mandolin years...there's so much trad on our tiny island

Not sure if I should feel inspired to practice more or just burn my mandolin in frustration... what an amazing musician

Gorgeous mandolin! Really love the bright wood color. Great player too, seems like a humble man. We need more great, humble players.

Very interesting episode. Especially what Mike says about the changes of tradition and the way songs are played on sessions.

I came here to find just a few moments of heaven. Thank you for giving your time to this craft.

A deceptively simple looking instrument and playing that's actually very hard to master. Hats off to the smooth playing wizardry. Amazing, beautiful....notes flow like a joyous fountain. YouTube finally got the recommendation right.

I’ve been wanting to pick up a musical hobby and have always loved the mandolin. This covered everything that I was wondering, including the styles of mandolin. Fantastic!

I've fallen in love with the Mandolin and my Irish roots are in need of some watering

Great video! Would be great to see you do an interview with an American bluegrass mandolin player to contrast the styles!
