It's great because the last, the ballad boom, like when I was young, was the 60s, 70s, you know, early 80s.

It was a big ballad boom, you know.

We were really just in love with our own culture and our, you know, all this Gaelic gold that was left to us by our ancestors.

But then it started, so I was coming of age about 10, 11, 12, I died.

I was dying of death towards the end of the 80s and 90s.
