I've known Dan a long time now, we first met in Galway when I brought him salmon fishing. Fishing, not catching it must be said, but we've become firm friends over the years. Dan is a banjo player and ethnomusicologist, a protegé of Professor Mick Moloney, a music writer for the Irish Echo and also picks his way through the oft murky maze of organising some of New York's most famous Irish music sessions!! We have a great conversation about the session scene in NY, Dan's interest in Jamaican mento music and the role of the banjo in that tradition.
