I thought I heard yesterday on Clare FM that an anthology of Crehan's music has been made and will come out at the Willie Clancy Fest. Is this correct? Does anyone know anything else about it? If its true, I can't get it!
I had heard that the Crehan family had been collating recordings of Junior with the view to releasing a CD compilation of his playing and compositions, so I think you heard correctly. I also heard it was intended to launch the CD at the Willie Clancy week - [ usually on the first Sunday, at Spanish Point - free wine & cheese, ] - so if all has gone according to plan, - no cock-ups about sleeve-notes, or pressings - it should be available then. Should be worth hearing.
New Junior Crehan Recording?

Ita Crehan has compiled a Cd, as Kenny says for launch at the WIllie.
In addition Angela Crotty-Crehan has put together a book of Junior's compositions that should be ready for launch as well.
