Yes, that’s Michael Flatley playing the flute in a random pub. Sure where else would you get it?

Love him or hate him, Michael Flatley is a man that a lot of people around the world associate with Ireland thanks to his incredibly successful shows Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, but not many people will know that he’s also a dab hand when it comes to blasting out an auld tune on the flute.

They may know now however, after Michael sat down for a song with Timmy Collins, a man he’d met ten years earlier and promised him they’d play a song together, to belt out this brilliant number at what looks to be a quality session of trad in a pub in Cork.

That session seemed like serious craic, we wonder did Flately have an aul dance while he was at it…
