  1. Michael Duffy was a great story-teller. His talent did not lie in the story as much as in the way he told it. He was stone blind. Some of his stories were about ghosts and fairies, and others were about rebel men taken out of their beds and beaten at the cross-roads. This man could also whistle and dance jigs and reels.
    Peter O'Higgins (brother to Brian) is a great whistler. He sings at Feiseanna. He also sings in Kilskyne Church.
