Thread Name: Irish Band Blasket Sound
Subject: RE: Irish Band Blasket Sound
I found some info about 2 of the members...
Roma Casey from Palmerstown in Dublin plays fiddle for the band. She was taught by Sean Keane of the Chieftains and has won All-Ireland firsts in fiddle and tin whistle. She was a member of the group Blasket Sound, which toured the world, and today she can be heard in Dublin sessions at Noones, Hughes and the Barn Owl when the band isn't performing.

Philip Price: Singer/Songwriter. Irish ballads/traditional after many years in the music scene in Ireland, England, and the lower 48, Philip Price is thrilled to be a part of the vibrant folk and Irish scene in Alaska. Although an academic by day at the University of Alaska, Philip (or "the real Dr. Phil" as he is known to many of his students) has a true passion for the Irish ballads. Born and reared in Dublin, Philip has performed and recorded with a variety of Dublin traditional and bluegrass bands including the Druids, The Blasket Sound and Turlough and has opened for internationally known bands including the Dubliners.
