So I herd you liek Great Big Sea. Or Ashley MacIsaac. Or dare I say it, Squeeze of Scotch. Well then, doff your fisherman's cap before their ancestor, Figgy Duff!

This is the video that started me on the quest, haunted as I was by the image of the late Noel Dinn playing bodhran. It was also years before someone got this video on YouTube:

Paul Gross paid them homage as well; he included two of their songs in a Due South episode (The Gift of the Wheelman).
