I am in charge of the farm (yikes!) while Jackie and Annie are at their nephew Philip’s wedding in Dublin. Just over night thank goodness.<\/p>\n

The first session of the day was at 5:00 pm in Browne’s (publican Peter Browne) featuring Jackie Daly, Matt Cranitch & Paul de Grae. Also at the table were Donal O’Connor (fiddle), Donal Cullinane (fiddle), Paul (banjo), Aoife (fiddle), Jessica from Chicago (fiddle), Pat (flute), Pat & Crystal from Washington D.C. (box & fiddle), Kathy (fiddle), Fodhla (concertina). It was an altogether mighty session with Matt’s fabulous fiddling and Jackie’s humour and finnesse on the box – he played several airs as well as the Joyous Waltz<\/a> from Quebec.<\/p>\n

Here are the 3 lads in concert in 2011;<\/p>\n

Dinner was at the chipper (Den Joe’s) with the young crowd some who are friends with Georgia.<\/p>\n

The second session was at The Poet’s with Angelina Carberry from Manchester (banjo), Dan Brouder (box) & Eamon Riordan (flute). They are great musicians and they play great tunes – many I was unfamiliar with but I recorded them alright. I didn’t enjoy it fully as we were in Eb – meaning the fiddle has to be retuned up a semitone. My fiddle does not really like this and it is trying to settle for the whole session and never fully in tune \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 Chatted with people I knew in the pub then said my good byes and wandered up the town to Kearney’s to catch another hour of music.<\/p>\n

The third session was at Kearney’s bar and there was young Michael (pr. Mee Haul) O’Shea on the pipes whom I had played with at the Day Care centre Wednesday last. Also on the box was Mr. Carmody who was playing some mighty reels. The pub had a great buzz and the fun stepped up a notch when Frances Kennedy started singing some of her humourous songs and telling some recitations. Her song about Willie Clancy week<\/a> in Clare is total class. The premise of the song is she loves trad music but her husband favours Bruce Springsteen. It had the memorable phrase in it’ “Comhalta<\/a>s interuptus” for the two lovers with different musical tastes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
