Two shows, there is a 'lilter' -excellent- on the Late Session. You have to wade throught a stoggy fiddle bit to hear it, well worth the wait. I met the Whistle player (great music) and played with him in a band for a while :) He was not curazy bout my Melodian playin but we got along fine. Hear the Late Session clicky thing The other show is a from a 'Fleadh' big national competition - Very excellent. The box used is a Piano Accordian. Highly recommend this. Again IMHO trad at it's best. |

29 Aug 99 - 09:18 AM (#109470) Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: The lilter was Pat Kilduff. from Glasson, just outside Athlone. He died just a few weeks ago. Great character. I met him a few months ago at the recording of a videoin a very unusual pub in the area. Wonderful, rhythmic lilter. He featured on one of the early Chieftains records, many years ago. |

29 Aug 99 - 12:51 PM (#109493) Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 Miss Aine - Apologies my spellin department is under renovaton at this time. I wish I had met Pat. There was many a night when the fun got too good. One in particular where, Bill Dooley I think, and some others had organised a band for some 'do'. When the night came and all turned up there were more fiddlers than stage space. It was very very comical - and the players all enjoyed as much as the audience - one person would climb on the stage at the right while another would have to climb down on the left. There were 17 fiddlers - I know cause I counted em, and a whole train load of other musicians besides.

30 Aug 99 - 01:45 PM (#109779) Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: PJ Curtis. What is "Authentic" Irish Trad.? Music which springs directly from the regional 'traditional'styles of music which has been passed down - usually by ear -from previous generations of players - fiddlers/pipers/concertina players/accordion playes and singers('Sean Nos' and the like) and is not dressed to suit commercial tastes. This is not to say that only Irish 'regional' styles are 'Authentic. I have recently included a young American piper, Elliout Grasso(15 years old) from maryland on an Uilleann Piping comp album of teenage pipers and he plays with a purity and understanding of what is true and 'authentic'. For a fuller description , try and get hold of my book 'Notes From The Heart - A Celebration Of Irish Traditional Music' (Poolbeg) Its out there sosmewhere. PJ Curtis.

30 Aug 99 - 02:32 PM (#109790) Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 The old tradition I recall was oral. There were no radios in some of the houses where I first heard 'it' let alone a record player. The instruments were the very basic kind show, Tin Whistle - Fiddle - Box and in those days the French Fiddle (Harmonica). So besides a 'dot' reader/writer, a rare commodity, there was no other way of passing the music. I believe Aine's show was great precisely because it correctly draws attention to some of the err lesser known sources of Trad. The Piper you mentioned sounds great - I oughto get the CD and give it a whirl.. Here is something for you PJ there are hundreds of very beautiful 'Old Time' tunes here in the South. Most of the ones I like are influenced by what we call 'Old Time Banjo'. Although records and tabs of the tunes are readily available you'd be lucky to find a player capable of preforming them. Occasionaly a 'picker' passes through who can but mostly it is a rare event. Remind you of the Uillean Pipes and Irish Trad in the 50's?

30 Aug 99 - 05:02 PM (#109835) Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: j0_77 The fiddler is Liz Carroll - and IMHO this is NOT one of her better recordings. For some reason I have a dislike of excessive decoration on fiddle except of course the great Sligo Fiddlers. (Where is it all gone :() Now if you like fiddle look out for Junior Crehan (Gone to Fiddlers Green) a Co Clare Fiddler - may be some recordings off radio look up RTE archives. Yup the 'lilter' is one of the best things I heard in a long long time. |

17 Sep 99 - 12:09 AM (#114849) Subject: RE: Irish Trad shows on Real Audio ..great From: I got a kick out of PJ touting ClareFm, although I admit Pat Costello is great. PJ has his own program on Lyric FM every Wednesday from 7-8PM Ireland time. The program is called Reels to Ragas & covers all types of world traditional music , Irish, Cajun, bluegrass, African, Sardinian, Hungarian - need I go on. I'm getting quite an education & finding out about a lot of wonderful performers. The address is www.lyricfm.ie - |
