Subject: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 Date: 29 Aug 99 - 04:15 AM Even if you don't like the Jigs and Reels you love this for the same reason I do, it's yummmie folk music. Two shows, there is a 'lilter' -excellent- on the Late Session. You have to wade throught a stoggy fiddle bit to hear it, well worth the wait. I met the Whistle player (great music) and played with him in a band for a while :) He was not curazy bout my Melodian playin but we got along fine. Hear the Late Session clicky thing The other show is a from a 'Fleadh' big national competition - Very excellent. The box used is a Piano Accordian. Highly recommend this. Again IMHO trad at it's best. |

Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: Áine Date: 29 Aug 99 - 09:16 AM Dear j0_77, That's Áine Hensey – and she's a very lovely girl who works very hard to promote Irish traditional music and the Irish language. If it's the Céilí House program you're talking about, you're right to say it's a fantastic show! -- Áine |
Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: Date: 29 Aug 99 - 09:18 AM The lilter was Pat Kilduff. from Glasson, just outside Athlone. He died just a few weeks ago. Great character. I met him a few months ago at the recording of a videoin a very unusual pub in the area. Wonderful, rhythmic lilter. He featured on one of the early Chieftains records, many years ago. |
Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 Date: 29 Aug 99 - 12:51 PM Miss Aine - Apologies my spellin department is under renovaton at this time. I wish I had met Pat. There was many a night when the fun got too good. One in particular where, Bill Dooley I think, and some others had organised a band for some 'do'. When the night came and all turned up there were more fiddlers than stage space. It was very very comical - and the players all enjoyed as much as the audience - one person would climb on the stage at the right while another would have to climb down on the left. There were 17 fiddlers - I know cause I counted em, and a whole train load of other musicians besides.

Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 Date: 29 Aug 99 - 06:51 PM PJ what is 'Authentic' Irish Trad ? |
Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: PJ Curtis. Date: 30 Aug 99 - 01:45 PM What is "Authentic" Irish Trad.? Music which springs directly from the regional 'traditional'styles of music which has been passed down - usually by ear -from previous generations of players - fiddlers/pipers/concertina players/accordion playes and singers('Sean Nos' and the like) and is not dressed to suit commercial tastes. This is not to say that only Irish 'regional' styles are 'Authentic. I have recently included a young American piper, Elliout Grasso(15 years old) from maryland on an Uilleann Piping comp album of teenage pipers and he plays with a purity and understanding of what is true and 'authentic'. For a fuller description , try and get hold of my book 'Notes From The Heart - A Celebration Of Irish Traditional Music' (Poolbeg) Its out there sosmewhere. PJ Curtis.

Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 Date: 30 Aug 99 - 02:32 PM The old tradition I recall was oral. There were no radios in some of the houses where I first heard 'it' let alone a record player. The instruments were the very basic kind show, Tin Whistle - Fiddle - Box and in those days the French Fiddle (Harmonica). So besides a 'dot' reader/writer, a rare commodity, there was no other way of passing the music. I believe Aine's show was great precisely because it correctly draws attention to some of the err lesser known sources of Trad. The Piper you mentioned sounds great - I oughto get the CD and give it a whirl.. Here is something for you PJ there are hundreds of very beautiful 'Old Time' tunes here in the South. Most of the ones I like are influenced by what we call 'Old Time Banjo'. Although records and tabs of the tunes are readily available you'd be lucky to find a player capable of preforming them. Occasionaly a 'picker' passes through who can but mostly it is a rare event. Remind you of the Uillean Pipes and Irish Trad in the 50's?

Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: qrs Date: 30 Aug 99 - 03:37 PM Great link jO 77!! Lovely tunes and great players!!! In the late session tunes(first set) who is the fiddle player? Reminds me of Tommy peoples strange(but lovely) rolls on his fiddle!! Great job jO77 Qrs |
Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: qrs Date: 30 Aug 99 - 03:46 PM I just heard The Lilter and I must say that it was great or rather fantastic (the reel was excelent!) Again great links!! Qrs

Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 Date: 30 Aug 99 - 05:02 PM The fiddler is Liz Carroll - and IMHO this is NOT one of her better recordings. For some reason I have a dislike of excessive decoration on fiddle except of course the great Sligo Fiddlers. (Where is it all gone :() Now if you like fiddle look out for Junior Crehan (Gone to Fiddlers Green) a Co Clare Fiddler - may be some recordings off radio look up RTE archives. Yup the 'lilter' is one of the best things I heard in a long long time. |
Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: M Date: 31 Aug 99 - 02:16 PM Ah, Co. Clare fiddlers……(blissful smile) |
Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 Date: 31 Aug 99 - 02:37 PM The Late Session stream has been taken down :( Yup Co Clare Fiddlers :) BTW There has to be something in the tay there - any fiddler in Ireland that goes to Clare and never returns. |
Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: Date: 17 Sep 99 - 12:09 AM I got a kick out of PJ touting ClareFm, although I admit Pat Costello is great. PJ has his own program on Lyric FM every Wednesday from 7-8PM Ireland time. The program is called Reels to Ragas & covers all types of world traditional music , Irish, Cajun, bluegrass, African, Sardinian, Hungarian - need I go on. I'm getting quite an education & finding out about a lot of wonderful performers. The address is www.lyricfm.ie - |
