The world has lost a fine young fiddler.

Danny O’Connell, from Ottawa, left us too young and too suddenly and with only one CD to his name. I had the pleasure of playing with him last year in a magical session in Ottawa at the Celtic Cross pub on Elgin Street, and boy, was he going places.

You can here a very short clip of his playing here or go to the Ottawa Folklore Centre website and see if they can ship you a copy of his album Green Fields of the Valley.

My condolences to his friends and family.
