Declan Coyne, who runs the South Roscommon Singers Circle in Ireland has been beavering away on a website. Have a look!

Regards

Declan Coyne is a most deceptively adroit man. Outwardly, he seems like any of the many farmers you might meet in rural Ireland. Rather than that, he has far-ranging tastes, a clear vision for worthwhile projects and a keen understanding of what it takes to make them realized.

The South Roscommon Singers CD is a varied and vivid recording that is very entertaining. If you think Irish folk music is all supergroups, field recordings and crossover artistes, I strongly suggest you pick up the first South Roscommon CD. You will find fine songs and singers and get a great sample of Ireland's living song tradition.

I look forward to hearing the second recording which couples young performers from the heart of Ireland with young people from the Scottish Highlands.

Please visit Declan's website for some very unique information.

All the best,
Dan Milner

I guess I could have added that, had he been raised in London, New York or Los Angeles, Declan would have been a major "moghul" of entertainment. I am delighted for traditional music that he was raised in Roscommon and has stayed there.

All the best,
Dan Milner

Thanks, Martin and Dan. As Dan knows, my Grandmother originally came from Athlone, so I am very interested in this site and this song club. I will be placing an order very soon. Great info.

All the best,

Big Mick

Dan

The same thought has often struck me re Declan. I can just see him lurking behind a fat cigar!

Regards

p.s. Mick: Tell me more about the Athlone connection - by PM if necessary? I've lived there for thirty years.
