The late, great Louis McManus with Pete Howell on Bass and Geoff Hollings on second guitar performing Ragtime Annie/Drowsy Maggie at the 1978 Geelong Folk Festival. It is sourced from the compilation album "With a Heart and a Hand" released after his sad demise in 2004.

Louis was my first commission as a guitar maker.
The guitar is a small bodied, tight and bright guitar - ideal for that fast picking, melodic stuff typical of Irish jigs and reels.
