Owen Frain was the piccolo player on some recordings of Dan Sullivan's Shamrock Band. Owen is pictured here playing with his son Gene. He was from Mayo and came to the Boston area. Both are mentioned in See You at the Hall, an excellent book on Irish music in Boston particularly the large dancehall scene in Dudley St. Roxbury. Here is a thread from the Session.org touching on Frain and the Shamrock Band.
