10 Feb 08 - 04:43 AM (#2258269) Subject: RE: Folklore: Phil Callery From: Bonnie Shaljean I'm sure I heard him on one of the trad programmes on Irish radio (either RnaG or RTE Radio 1) recently, singing and sounding good. But I was doing something else at the time and wasn't really able to listen. Nothing new about him on Google, even if you ask it to search only Irish pages. But, five entries down, there's MRS FLANNERY - I always forget just how public Mudcat is. (Makes me shudder when I think of some of those flamefest threads.) I always liked Phil's music, and hope someone will post an update. |

10 Feb 08 - 07:25 PM (#2258977) Subject: RE: Folklore: Phil Callery From: MartinRyan I first started to listen to traditional singing when I moved to Athlone, in the Irish Midlands, many years ago. At the time, there was a local folk club run by a guy called Tony Holleran - from whom I learned many a song. He in turn was a great friend and fan of Phil - whom I subsequently got to know independently. One way or another, the pair of them are resposnible for a good part of my repertoire! Not sure either of them would accept the blame, mind you. Regards p.s. Tony was also involved in Mrs. Flannery's Folk club in Tullamore, not far from Athlone! Hence the crack.. |

In addition to the Voice Squad albums, I have his 2 very fine solo albums - 'The Edge of Memory' and 'Landscape of the Past'.
