The 2nd Annual Packie Duignan Traditional week-end will take place in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim from January 25th to January 27th 2008. For details see our posting under "Events". If any of The Session members have any recollections about Packie Duignan or stories they remember about him it would be great to hear from you. Packie was loved the length and breadth of Ireland and played with just about everyone in his day. So would love to hear some new "stories" about the man.
Loved that man's music, MollyB, and was lucky enough to hear him duet with Cathal McConnell at the Ballisodare Festival in 1978. Can't help you with any stories, I'm afraid, apart from one unrepeateble one from Desi Wilkinson ! I hope your Festival goes well, and would love to attend it sometime.
Good luck !
