We know that Paddy Burgin builds great Weissenborns and other acoustic instruments. I had seen videos of his lap slide playing and knew he's a very fine player too, but it was not until I heard and watched his CD/DVD "My Sweet Town" that I knew what a great all-round artist and songwriter he also is. A highly recommended CD/DVD - really beautiful music! Weissenborn, Dobro, guitar, cittern, double bass, cajón... Some songs bring the best of "Harvest" era Neil Young to mind. "Four Corners" and "The Tidy Hands of Time" are current favourites for me, and there are some beautiful instrumentals too. The DVD is a multi-camera filmed acoustic concert and has excellent sound quality - here is a youtube "trailer":

(The last tune on the cittern is what made me order the CD/DVD and I'm glad I did!

And here is a clip (also from the DVD) of Paddy playing his tune "Blackwood Bay" on his Dobro:
