It's hard to say. As much as Kirwan reputedly didn't like Welch's playing, I don't know if Kriwan would have resented Green's presence again. The notes to the Vaudville years dics claim Kirwan imagined himself the star of the band who resented Green's brief presence on the American tour sans Spencer.
Honestly, given all reports, I don't know if any guitarist would have made Kirwan happy.
