Thread Name: John McKenna-Leitrim flute player- CD
Subject: RE: John McKenna-Leitrim flute player- CD
We won't fall out about semantics Peter, you know what I mean, and I was really just clarifying that the mistakes of the past have NOT been repeated here. I once bought a cassette of Margaret Barry, only to find her wonderful distinctive banjo playing drowned out by someone's totally tasteless addition of 'backing' music- that was 'enhancement' but not as we know it Peter. Hope that's clear...

I will have with me at Whitby (Saturday to Tuesday inclusive) some copies of another CD produced by the John McKenna Society- not generally available, but a little gem. Recorded by Seamus Ennis in 1947 for RTE radio, 'THE LEITRIM CAKE' by 'Lacky' (Malachy) Gallagher, fiddle player of DRumkeeran, Co Leitrim

Price £10 sterling- just ask me!
