Jimmy Campbell, laoch mór an cheoil as Gleann na nGleanntaí i dTír Chonaill.
Rinne Jimmy, fear lách, cineálta, éacht thar na bearta ar son cheol traidisiúnta na tíre agus thug sé spreagadh faoi leith do cheoltóirí óga. Bhí sé mar phribhléid dúinn bheith ina chuideachta agus port a chasadh leis.
Jimmy Campbell, renowned fiddle player from Glenties, County Donegal.
Jimmy made an enormous contribution to traditional music, in particular his encouragement of the younger generation of musicians who met and played with him. To sit in his company, to speak with and play music alongside him was a privilege and an honour; he will never be forgotten.
This short video tribute to the late Jimmy Campbell is taken from “Na Cruacha”, a documentary produced and directed by Iarfhlaith Ó Domhnaill for Nemeton TV and TG4, February 2020.
