little help here


heard what im pretty sure was a mairtin o connor album a few weeks ago and am trying to track it down. my knowledge of trad music is pretty much zero so excuse the broad vagueness. just himself hammering away on what sounded like a nicely battered concertina. not accordian(im almost certain)

anyone throw a few possible album titles out there?

sound

My bird's boss is opening an Irish pub in Bangkok. She asked me to get some "Irish music" for the pub. I've got Planxty, De Dannan, Luke Kelly and The Dubliners. Any other suggestions? (Definitely not The Wolfe Tones.)

 

[nooleen]

they'll probably just end up playing enya, the cranberries and u2
or thai pop

 

[robitusson]

Indeed. So it's a chance to get some decent stuff on.

was re-listening to planxty's most recent live album the other day, forgot how stunning it is.

hayes/cahill stuff never fails

and begly and jim murray's last two albums have been magnificent

mike mcgoldrick's Fused album is a corker too

On RTE1 tonight (7.30) there's a show celebrating the founding of the folklore commission featuring the work of Seamus Ennis.

Stumbled across a clip of my bro playing on the Pure Drop 20 years ago. Cool sweater.

Who here plays trad/folk? I can play a couple of tunes on accordion and can sing a bit. It would be a laugh to meet up for a session sometime. Thumped Trad Bowsie Federation.

Just listening back to some of Donal Dineen's shows from the past week here, http://smallhours.fm/

29th of November show has some great live in-studio trad and chat (aswell as some great cian nugent and band in first hour. as well as some lisa o neill)

liam o maonlaí, some dude called cormac begley and other musicians (concertina and pipe players). sounding top notch. worth a listen

Just wanted to point out that I liked trad before NiallerNein did.

Wow 2008! That's FOUR years ago people!

Hahaha you hipster.

 

[JohnnyRaz]

There's a fierce bang of puritanism in here. I prefer a bit of Sharon Shannon reggae myself.

Dance to Tipperary are the best
