THE TULLA CEILI BAND

 

'60th Anniversary Collection'

60 years is an exceptionally long time for a ceili band to remain in operation, and there's one major reason that the Tulla Ceili Band has lasted - their music is superb. The Tulla Ceili Band endures for many good reasons but principally because of their distinctive swing and great choice of tunes, this album is a testament to that. Recorded in June 2006, to mark the Band's 60th Anniversary, it is also a tribute and dedication to one of it's founders and leaders for most of its lifetime, J.Joe Hayes and also to Francie Donnellan. Their sons Martin and Mark duet a fitting honour and legacy to these great men.

Bobby Casey

This is probably one of the most important releases of the decade! illustrious fiddle player Bobby Casey (1926-2000) was born near the Crosses of Annagh, Co. Clare. His father was John 'Scully' Casey, the leading fiddler of his day in West Clare, although it wasactually from Junior Crehan that Bobby learnt his first tune. Moving to London in 1952 Bobby forged several key musical friendships with other exiled Claremen including Tommy McCarthy, Joe Ryan and Vincent Griffin, and exerted enormous influence on London's traditional Irish music scene. In the late 60s Bobby featured on the seminal album ‘Paddy in the Smoke’ and the music on this new CD was recorded at around the same time by Reg Hall and Bill Leader.

No Cat No

THEY'LL BE GOOD YET

Kitty Hayes & Peter Laban

The CD captures the music of two musicians: Kitty Hayes on concertina - clearly relaxed and at home in her own kitchen where the recordings took place - and Peter Laban playing flat pitched pipes, complementing Kitty's typical - older generation - Clare style of playing, creating a multi-layered blend of concertina and pipes with a strong 'live' feeling to it.
