“Jim Coleman’s Hornpipe” is named after Michael Coleman’s brother who was, as far as I know, a flute player. I heard this tune played by the great banjo player from Doolin, Kevin Griffin, during a session at Gus O’Connor’s Pub. However, I actually learned it later John Wynne’s album “With Every Breath”.

I’m planning to go to Doolin with some friends all who love the music. Where can we see Kevin Griffin and others play in December?
Hey Tommy, nice to hear you’ll be in Doolin in December! Not as many sessions this time of year, but definitely during the weekends from Thursday onwards (I play Thursdays in Hotel Doolin). Kevin Griffin is usually playing in O’Connor’s Pub, typically on Fridays and Sundays
