30 Dec 09 - 01:26 PM (#2799420) Subject: Irish Pirate Ballads - Indie Awards From: Liam's Brother Happy to report that Smithsonian's Irish Pirate Ballads , released earlier this year, is one of 5 recordings to receive a nomination in the Indie Music Awards "World Traditional" category. There are 13 songs and the full cast is outstanding: Robbie O'Connell (The Clancy Brothers, The Green Fields of America) - vocals Mick Moloney (The Johnstons, The Green Fields of America) - vocals, tenor banjo, mandolin Susan McKeown (2007 Grammy-winner for Wonder Wheel) - vocals Joanie Madden (Cherish the Ladies) - whistle, flute, contraflute The Johnson Girls (Folk-Legacy Records) - vocals John Doyle (Solas, The Green Fields of America and Joan Baez) - vocals, guitar, bouzouki Gabriel Donohue (Toured with The Chieftains) - mandolin, bouzouki, guitar, piano Brian Conway (All-Ireland fiddle champion) - fiddle Bob Conroy (Stout) - 5-string banjo Tim Collins (Kilfenora Ceili Band) - anglo concertina and me, Dan Milner (a/k/a Liam's Brother) - vocals. You can listen to track samples and look at the liner notes at Smithsonian's Irish Pirate Ballads . Smithsonian tells me there are actually two awards in this category. One conferred by industry professionals and the other a popular vote award. They sent along the Indie Awards webpage with the request that I spread the word. The page is Indie Awards Ballot If you know people who like Irish music and who might enjoy voting in this contest, perhaps you could pass the suggestion along. Thanks in advance. All the best, Dan Milner |
