When he started singing, I noticed he sounded so familiar. Then I remembered, Daoiri was the one singing Galway Girl along with other musicians when their flight was delayed

The curse of a bouzouki player: "What kind of guitar is that!?" The curse of a mandolin player: "woow, cool ukulele!"

Great playing and singing. Thanks for introducing this Yank to this joyous music. I can see where bluegrass comes from.

Here I’m 65 years along and until tonight, I’d never heard of an Irish bouzouki. Or had I ever hear that song. Super job playing and singing!

Daoirí is one of the greatest and is, hands down, the best modern Irish folk singer and bouzouki player. Cheers!

There is a very popular Greek bouzouki with 8 strings, koumpare. Most Greek bouzouki songs after 1960 are for 8 string bouzouki.

I love it when someone pauses when asked a question cause they answer from their heart

Irish bouzouki is one of the best sounding stringed instrument. It makes you feel good just listening to it! :-)

the modern version of Greek bouzouki has 8 strings 9 (C-F-A-D) and the old version (before the end of WW1) has 6 strings (D-A-D) nowadays bouzouki's players (μπουζουκτσήδες bouktsides) use the modern vesion but there best of them who play rebetika use the old version
