Eddie Duffy, was a traditional Irish musician. He was renowned for his slow airs on the flute, which he accomplishes by playing in exactly the same style as he sings, with memorable effect. Many of his songs and tunes come from his mother who played the accordion. In his youth he hired at Derrygonnelly Fair with a farmer who played the flute so that he could learn the instrument. Played in the 1930s and 1940s with local Céilí bands, the Sillees and the Knockmore. Wikipedia
