Crehan recordings?

Crehan recordings?

There is a new Junior Crehan recording - The last house in Ballymakea. Has anyone heard it? I can't wait.

BTW, The Kevin Crehan record, An Bhabog Sa Bhadog, is pretty hard to obtain, unless you're at Willie week. I got my copy mail order from crehan's in dublin:

Just email and Niall will sort you out.

Re: Crehan recordings?

I have the CD and the book. The book ( more like a glossy magazine) has about 20 tunes or so, alot of pictures and a hand written (by Junior) biography. The book is wonderful-an insight into rural Ireland. I haven't gotten to the CDs but I did listen to Mist Covered Moountains and it has gotten onto my learn list

Re: Crehan recordings?

I got the book and CD at the Willie Week. I've listened to both CD's and they are great! I have a little radio show in Philadelphia and I played a selection on Sunday (Redigan's and Music in the Glen). The interviews are also very interesting and there is a selection where Junior and Cissy sing together. The liner notes are also full of insight into Junior, his music and his musical history. I highly recommend both the book and the CD's.

Re: Crehan recordings?

Junior's daughter, Angela Crotty, edited and published the book. She can be reached at angelacrotty@eircom.net.

Also, try www.custysmusic.com for both cd and book.

Re: Crehan recordings?

I'd really like to get a copy of Kevin's Cd. He taught fiddle at our pipers tionol last year and really liked his style of playing

Re: Crehan recordings?

I recently got both CD and book from Custy's Music. Both are on their website under "New Releases" section at custysmusic.com. Thouroughly enjoy both. My 16-year old took a fiddle workshop last week with the Kane sisters, and they taught several Crehan tunes. Every one is a gem.

Kevin Crehan used to have a website up at kevincrehan.com, but I couldn't access it. His CD playing Junior's tunes is well worth tracking down.
