Mick O' Connor, John Twomey, Banjo and Guitar
Channel: Brian O Callaghan
Date: 26/12/2011

London banjo player Mick O' Connor playing in Lourdes, France, great guitar accompaniment from John Twomey, Cork. 

Tune(?)
The South Pole/Unsung Hero

It sounds to me like Mick introduces this tune as the North Pole, but that can't be right, as Tom Crean (to whom the tune is dedicated) took part in expeditions to the South Pole only. His pub in Annascaul is called the South Pole Inn too. But then he says something like 'Unsung Hero', which is the title of the book about Crean. I couldn't find this tune on the session.org, under either name, perhaps it's one of Mick's compositions.
