Saving the best for the last!

November 7, 2019

I know Wednesday in Tig Coili features Declan Corey, one of mu favourite musicians, at both e=the early and the late sessions.At the first session it was lovely and quiet with jus the melody instruments, which I prefer. Joseph O’Faherty (sp?)  on box and Declan on mandolin.

The second session featured Declan again, Simon on guitar, Ger Clancey on fiddle and Mick Clancey (no relation) on bouzouki.The tunes were mighty and fast, including a good variety of hornpipes, barn dances & slip jigs. And reels, reels reels. They invited me to lead several sets. Fair play to ye lads! Next year in Galway!

Killoran’s Tubbercurry, Co. Sligo

November 6, 2019

Jay and I called into Killoran’s Pub in the town of Tubbercurry. Now your man could not say exactly he was related to the great Sligo fiddler, Paddy Killoran who recorded in New york in the 20’s and 30’s he did say “We’re all branches on the same tree”. He opened up the dance hall and it was spectacular. There on the wall featured a lrge painting the incuded Michael Coleman, Paddy Killoran and James Morrison standing and playing their fiddles by a lake.

Their was a wind up gramophone there. The next thing you know we are listing to 78’s of Coleman and Morrison on the gramophone! Surreal.
