01 Dec 11 - 12:48 PM (#3266778) Subject: Jim Mac Farland - the video! From: MartinRyan As part of its rapid expansion of online resources, the Irish Traditional Music Archive has started to publish some videos it has made in its own studio over the years. This includes a fine recording of Jim MacFarland (who often visits Mudcat) singing "In the year of 1800". Not sure the video element adds much (sorry, Jim!) but it is, IMHO, singing of a very high order. Click here Regards |
