Instrumentation notes: five string bass in Winehouse-Weller; seeing more and more of these, or maybe just starting to notice that I've been seeing them. New standard?

Nice to see uilleann pipes in the Bothy video.
The Uileann piper is Paddy Keenan, a member of the much discriminated Traveller community, He went to the (now defunct) De La Salle school in Dundalk. He was a few years ahead of me. He was always so nervous that he never looked at the audience.
Most of the others started playing music for the dancing kids in Donegal Gaeltacht in the 60s, close to Enya's home.
Seems Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Emmylou were fans.

Mrs Cuchulainn is a fan.

And she is right if you ask me
A tortured-mind song writer and singer who used to sing with her guts. Junkie in any way. Disastrous marriage with one of the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young guys, etc... An incredible fate.
