VIDEO: Wexford man plays ‘Danny Boy’ using just a handsaw live on the radio

Yes, you read that headline correctly.

Danny Boy is an old favourite that you’ll hear sung at the tail end of a big session. You’re sure to have heard it in all sorts of forms, but we don’t think we’ve ever seen it played like this before.

John Doyle, from Monageer in County Wexford, was a guest on South East Radio this morning and gave an incredibly unique rendition of the iconic tune.

Give it a look below, because you’re unlikely to have seen anything like it recently, and if you have, then be sure to let us know.
