Question. Whiskey in the Jaro.

I am not arguing his ability as a bass player as I know he was a great bass player but not so long ago Ronan Collins an Irish DJ put to his listeners for debate was Philip playing bass on this track.

And also who played Mandolin on this track?

Something for you Lizzy buffs to ponder on.

...the irony is , even though Philip gained a reputation as a master bass player , the bass guitar did NOT feature on this track

That's correct.
The deep sounds you hear on Whiskey In The Jar, or, indeed, simply an acoustic guitar.

That's weird, 'cause I have seen video of that song and Phil is playin' bass in that video. Strange!

not really strange....its mimed and he is seen playing the bass guitar simply for effect

Oh, thanks, now I understand!

Interesting note(about bass not used on WITJ) Thanks
How many others do not have a bass in the song
Off hand i'm guessing "Chatting Today"
Oh yeah "Frankie Carroll" any more?
