		Paddy Hannan was a quiet man, undemonstrative, silent, and peaceful in strong contrast with a type of Irishmen then commonly met on the goldfields of the West.
		Paddy was an undemonstrative man, steady, and temperate, and, for that reason, not over-popular among the prospectors of his time, who were jealous of the name and fame that came unbidden to him.
		Hannan could not visualise that his find had enriched his adopted land by over £100,000,000, and that he was the pioneer of the “Golden Mile” that still produces gold.

		Paddy Glackin and Robbie Hannan are two of the most respected Irish traditional musicians of their generation.
		Paddy is also an excellent exponent of the Donegal style, and his fiddling here does justice to some great old tunes.
		The two solo jig sets show how different Paddy and Robbie's playing can be and how cleverly they complement each other: Paddy's style is percussive and rhythmic, relying more on the bow than the fingers, whereas Robbie plays a largely open style giving a more flowing sound with occasional staccato notes for variation.

		Paddy was born in 1842 (two years after my great grandfather William) in Quin, near Ennis, County Clare (25 miles from Ballycotton, where, we believe, William was born).
		One explanation for the similar movements and timing is simply that the Greens and Paddy Hannan followed the gold rushes, like thousands of men at that time.
		But the common age and heritage of Paddy and William, as well as the departure of both Paddy and Luke from WA in 1894 back to Victoria for a short period, suggests that they probably knew each other very well.
