For anyone that's wondering that big hand held drum that the drummer is using is a traditional old Irish instrument called a Bodhrán pronounced bowrawn. He ain't putting it to good use here really tho can make some great sounds if used properly with a cipín
“it’s never over, a kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder” is genuinely one of the most brilliantly written lyrics i’ve ever heard, it comes back to me now and then and gives me an immediate thrill

I had the pleasure of casually meeting and chatting with him for 5-10 after he gave a free acoustic performance in Berkeley, CA, a few weeks before this on May 5th.
