Here's Neil Byrne and Ryan Kelly singing: Wild Mtn Thyme (Will Ye Go Lassie Go), Leave Her Johnny, Carrickfergus and Step It Out Mary. Unfortunately an elderly gentleman next to me collapsed during "Step It Out Mary" so I missed the end of the song. (He was OK by the way) They were charming, a lot of fun and very gracious when I asked if I could record their show. The only thing missing was a chance to sit down and have a beer with them.

From their bio: What began as Celtic Thunder's Neil Byrne and Ryan Kelly performing a series of shows together called 'Acoustic By Candlelight' back in 2012 has turned into what is now known as Byrne and Kelly. Driven by dynamic vocal harmonies, the duo seamlessly combines genres like traditional Irish and Americana to create a fresh, Celtic folk sound that has garnered comparisons to iconic folk-rock duos like Simon & Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers.
In 2013 Byrne and Kelly was awarded 'Best Duo in a Concert, Pub or Festival' and 'Best New Album' for Acoustically Irish by the Irish Music Association. In addition, Acoustically Irish took the Billboard #1 position, World Album #1 on iTunes in the United States, Australia and Canada, Amazon #1 World Album and cdbaby Global Chart #1.
