BH003CD The Spirit of West Clare

 

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.

FCLAR 4 John Kelly - Fiddle & Concertina


John Kelly was born in the district of Rehy West, County Clare, and for over thirty years was a force in Irish music - he was a member of Seán Ó Riada's Ceoltóirí Cualainn, of the Castle Ceilidh Band, and of Ceoltóirí Laighean, and regular musician at respected Dublin sessions. John's fiddling is in the relaxed Clare style and his concertina playing is spikier, with subtle variations of notes, the occasional harmonic effect, and again that off-beat emphasis.

CNF006 The Purple Heather 

 

A double CD featuring Vincent’s playing over a period of almost 50 years, from 1962 to 2009. A wide variety of tune types and some of Vincent’s stories about the tunes (in Irish and English ) are featured. Vincent plays in the style of most of the players of older generations, playing mostly single tunes, instead of medleys, as a result of this there are 86 tracks, 43 on each CD. Other recordings of his playing can be found on the compilations. As usual with the Cairdeas na bhFidiléirí CD’s a 36 page booklet is included with the CDs.

GB 010 'Wriggle & Writhe'

 

Renowned guitarist/box player Tim Edey and harmonica guru Brendan Power conjure up 17 scintillating tracks, including 4 songs. Rootsy rhythms and jaw-dropping virtuosity! Adventurous creative players are drawn to each other, and the first time Tim and Brendan met the musical sparks flew. This new duo's powerful blend of passion and virtuosity is infectious. What sets them apart from most folk/Celtic acts is their free-wheeling approach to live performance: they love to improvise, which means that every time they do a piece it sounds different & fresh. It's that sheer, mad seat-of-your-pants spontaneity which unfailingly captures audiences everywhere! Both have serious form as performers, composers and as session men for big name acts. Tim, hugely talented on acoustic guitar and button accordion, has recorded with Christy Moore, the Chieftains, Lunasa, Sharon Shannon, and Michael McGoldrick. Brendan, acknowledged by many as one of the most versatile and creative harmonica players around today, has recorded with the likes of Sting, Kate Bush, James Galway, Paul Brady and Altan. Their first major festival was Celtic Colours, Cape Breton, where they wowed audiences and stole the show with their blistering late night Festival Club appearances. On returning to England they recorded their debut CD Wriggle and Writhe and are currently in the middle of a busy summer of UK festival appearances.

BGCD01 Melodeon Mad! 

 

Bobby Garniner has been at the forefront of melodeon music in Ireland for over 50 years, and he has now produced his first CD totally dedicated to the instrument having put the button accordion on the back seat for now.

PORCD020 Note for Note

 

"Down through the years I have enjoyed playing music in all formats and combinations - sessions, duets, trios, groups and bands but solo playing has always been where I considered a musician's soul is discovered. It was natural for me then to put together a solo album drawing on tunes I picked up over the years. Some I learned as a child playing with Joe Bane, Martin Rochford, Bill Malley, John Naughton and P Joe Hayes while others were learned from the playing of some of the great musicians I have been fortunate enough to know in more recent years. All of the tunes are ones that appeal to me and have meaning for me. I hope that they will speak to you too."

CICD 161 Down from Bell Harbour

 

There is no doubt but that the Droney name has been firmly carved into the annals of traditional Irish music by this humble and gifted exponent. The toast of local house dances during his teenage years, he later became All-Ireland Senior Concertina Champion nine times, and played with several well-known céilí bands during a prolific career that has spanned several generations. He has performed on stages from Canada to Camden Town, while music lovers from Japan to North America have been warmly welcomed into the Droney home after seeking out the concertina maestro. Chris still plays regularly with The Four Courts céilí band, throughout Ireland and abroad.

OSSCD89 It's No Secret

 

A re-release of a classic CD

It's No Secret brings together three of Ireland's finest traditional musicians, performing reels, polkas, jigs, hornpipes, airs, slides and barndances in solo, duet and trio formats. They make music in a human scale. I'ts No Secret is the next best thing to having them perform in your own living room. Six songs complete the picture. Seamus contributes the tongue-in-cheek, "In Praise of Mullingar" and "The Plains of Drishane". Hammy brings "The Sea Apprentice" and "Erin's Green Shore" from his native Ulster. Con performs two songs of his own making, "The Spoons Murder", which describes the fate of a spoons player who attempts to disrupt a session, and a hilarious re-working of Shakespeare's classic tragedy "King Lear". Both of these will become folk club classics. The CD booklet features all the song texts.

TSCD583 Wild Mountain Thyme

 

The McPeake Family’s Wild Mountain Thyme, also known as Will Ye Go Lassie, Go, is one of the most famous songs to emerge from the folk revival of the 1950s, being covered by an incredible variety of artists including Fotheringay, The Byrds, Mark Knopfler and Rod Stewart as well as Ewan MacColl, The Chieftains and Clancy Brothers.

 

Often containing as many as three generations, the Belfast born and bred McPeake Family played as far afield as Moscow and was a great favourite on the BBC. Their distinctive combination of uilleann pipes, harps and harmony vocals set a new standard for Irish music in the 1950s & 60s. Not content to showcase instrumental virtuosity, their warm ensemble sound brought out the depth of the songs making them one of the most loved Irish groups on the 1950s and early 60s.

MMCCD54  The Family Album

 
This album pretty much takes over where Jacqueline McCarthy's 1999 album "The Hidden Note," which also featured her father and siblings, left off. This time, the rest of the extended family, i.e., the spouses of Jacqueline's brother and sisters, takes part as well, all contributing to a wonderful (and generously 22-track long) album of heartfelt, genuine traditional music from this family's repertoire. In addition, Jacqueline's father Tommy Sr., who passed away recently, is represented by two tracks borrowed from a 1960s CCE album, while his memory is celebrated with a new composition by famous Leitrim musician Charlie Lennon.

MUSCD009 Louth Mouths from Drogheda

 

Seán Corcoran, Dónal Maguire arid Gerry Cullen attended Saint Joseph’s Christian Brothers School in Drogheda and sang in the parish church choir at Saint Peter’s in the main street. Maguire emigrated to England in the 60s while Cullen and Corcoran remained in Drogheda. Individually, their singing of traditional material has consistently received high critical acclaim. Gerry sings with the recently reformed and much acclaimed Voice Squad and Seán currently performs with the band Cran. Dónal usually gives solo performances but has had various collaborations over the years while based in London and latterly in Lancashire. Seán Corcoran is acknowledged to be one of the most important song collectors in Ireland and most of the songs included here were collected initially by him. The idea (and title!) for the album title emanated from a light-hearted exchange between Maguire and his friend, singer and writer Brian O’Rourke. With his tongue in his cheek. Maguire propositioned Cullen and Corcoran and here we are! The wide-ranging song collection includes classical ballads, comic songs. and songs of a particularly local context all from the repertoires of source singers throughout the county.

ITCD001 Round Top Wagon

 

In 2008 Irish traveller singer Thomas McCarthy discovered a singing session at Cecil Sharp House, not realising that there was an interest in his type of Sean Nos singing in London where he now lives. The word soon spread about this amazing young singer who has a style not unlike Joe Heaney and songs that no one had heard before. On this his first CD he sings mainly songs which have been handed down through his family as well some of his own newly composed songs, all ably assisted by the CDs producer Ron Kavana.

BITCD346 Here’s a Health to the Company

Jim McFarland is a Derry man and is one of Ireland’s finest traditional singers. He is also known for his collections of songs from the Irish source singers.

Ken Wilson is from Tyneside in the North of England, part of the wonderful Wilson Family but a fine singer in his own right.

They have known each other for the past fifteen years or so and have always had a mutual respect for each other’s singing. In 2003 they were asked to tour in Ireland and perform their mixture of both Irish and English traditional songs. Since then they have appeared at a number of clubs and festivals in the UK and in Ireland.

TARACD4004 Many's the Foolish Youth
 

The Voice Squad represent the melding of two related but separate traditions -- a British harmony-singing tradition (as exemplified by the Copper Family and the Watersons) and the unaccompanied solo singing tradition of Northern Ireland (as exemplified by such legendary artists as Paddy Tunney and Joe Heaney). By taking the traditional Irish repertoire and harmonizing it in a generally British style, the three members of the Voice Squad have created something new and absolutely wonderful. All three singers have excellent voices, but tenor Fran McPhail is the one who brings something tonally unique to the ensemble; his voice has an eerie, almost horn-like quality that blends beautifully with the harder-edged voices of tenor Phil Callery and baritone Gerry Cullen. This 1995 reissue of Many's the Foolish Youth, originally released in 1987, brings improved sound quality to a set of songs that showcases this group at its best, on a program that ranges from the romantic regret of "The Banks of the Bann" to the traditional parting song "The Parting Glass" and stops off in between for a couple of Christmas songs ("The Holly She Bears a Berry," "Kilmore Carol," "Shepherds Arise"). The Voice Squad deliver everything with a marvelous combination of power and tenderness that is bound to touch your heart.

TMVL0302  Jauling the Green Tober

 

    Thomas McCarthy says of the album: "I made this CD with Cornish gypsy Viv Legg. The translation of this CD’s title is ‘Travelling the Green Roads’ and with these recordings we are both revisiting the green routes of our families’ heritage of songs.
    Each of us chose which songs to record and to include in the album. They are songs from two differing influences and cultures unified by both being aspects of the travelling life: whether Roma or Traveller. Viv’s family base is in Cornwall, while my family lived for a long time in Birr, in the centre of Ireland, though I have spent much of my life in London.
    This album includes songs like Ask Me Again which is about my relative Johnny Delaney of Whitechurch in County Kilkenny, he was a trader if there ever was one! Mikey O Leary Courted a Fairy is about a young man courting a girl and it was my great grandfather’s favourite song. And songs like The Exile of Erin offer a more serious insight into the old culture."

An Goilin 007-8 Early Ballads in Ireland 1968-1985

 

With the demise of Torn Munnelly in 2007 and Hugh Shields in 2008, Ireland  lost two of its most important ballad scholars and experts in English language song. In 1985 in their foreword to the booklet which accompanied the two tapes from which this collection is taken they stated:
 
‘The early ballad genre in Ireland deserves to be studied, practised and appreciated, and we intend to return—both in print and on tape—to the subject of these twenty and other unpublished or littIe-known versions of ballads from the Irish oral tradition.’
 
With the advent of a renewed interest in early ballads encouraged in no small way by the ‘man I woman + child’ projects in the National Library of Ireland, it seems timely that these recordings should be made available in a digitized form to a whole new generation of singers and listeners, An Góilín is pleased to support this project as a tribute to these two great men.
 
Notes from the original cassette inlay card
From singers who have many other things to offer this cassette borrows only versions of the songs edited by F.J. Child in his English and Scottish popular ballads. These versions include universal favourites like ‘Barbara Allen’, ballads of great interest for their international parallels like ‘False Lover John’, or their literary associations like ‘Lord Gregory’ (Joyce’s ‘Lass of Aughrim’), rare or unique items like ‘Lord Abore’ and texts processed by the popular press like ‘The Holland handkerchief. The old ballad genre is, after all, a historical ragbag, and we can also pop in features specially Irish: the ‘chantefable’ reduction of ‘Tarn Lin’ in ‘Saturday night is Hallowe’en night’ and the refrain in Irish attached to the ‘Baffled knight’. Before the last seventeen years in which these songs were recorded, little was known of the excellent state of preservation of the old Scottish and English ballads in Ireland (Scottish, it would appear, more than English). This selection adds a substantial supplement to those already published on disc or tape. To its wonderfully varied contributors who sang the songs the editors express the grateful thanks of all who will appreciate an enjoy them.
