Ceol agaus Foinn : CD with music from 30 years Willie Week
A selection by Raidio na Gaeltachta fro m30 years of the Willeis. WOnderfully produced, includes PJ Crotty, Sean Talty, Gerry Commane, Francie McPeake, Larry Kinsella, Junior Crehan and Bobby Casey, Joe Ryan, Paddy Canny, P Joe Hayes and Francie Donnellan, Leo Rickard, Brid O Donohue, Jimmy O Brien-Moran, Nial Keegan,Sean Ryan, Katheleen Smith and Edel McWeeney,Bill McNamara, John McEvoy, Jimmy O Ceannabhain, Vincent Campbell, Eamonn McGivnet & John Joe TuttleTony Crehan, Gerdy Commane, Peter Vrowne , Micho Russell, Gussie Russell, Zoe Conway and more.
OK, I have listened to the CDs a few times more, while I have copied the tune titles mostly as given on the cover, a few are not quite right, sets of two named as one and a few that are different altogether (Miss Monaghan being played instead of Devanney's Goat and the one after was a different one too) and the onbvious half remembered ones (Didtherumdoda? after Seamus Ennis' story to accompany 'Anything for John Joe?') and the just slightly different (Johnny's gone to the Ceili).
Recommended anyhow, was launched in Spanish Point on 7 march, will see another launch in Galway on April 18, will also become available on iTunes, as was said at the launch.
Got this as late Christmas present. Nice stuff but I was quite struck by the fact that there is no recording with accordions!!
Plenty of fiddle and I think 7-8 tracks of concertina..
There are some bloody good box players down in Miltown each summer - the box recital has great players & music and is usually packed with punters. So why no accordion? Do I detect an agenda..... if so, that's ridiculous!
