	The Chieftains Kevin Conneff Solo Glastonbury 1982 Here's A Health To The Company. This man doesn't just bother a bodhran, he has the voice of an angel! A stark reminder that in 1982 we citizens of the UK thought we would all be wiped out by nuclear war by now. The words in this song can still bring a tear to the eye.	bodojo
