So, for the price of a pint, or a half pint for that matter, you can help keep this show on the road and be safe in the knowledge you have a halo above your head.

For your good deed you will secure your place in traditional Irish music podcast heaven. But most importantly, you’ll have helped pay for the other 99% of listeners that don’t or can’t chip in.

And that, my friend, is a hell-of-a-nice thing to do.

Episode 64: Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh Interview (Hardanger d'Amore)

Darren O'Mahony, Dominic Black — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 21:00:00 +1000

A pause in pandemic times and what you hear when you hear Seamus Ennis; Phelim O'Reilly, Anton McGowan and doorway street sessions; holding onto infectious rhythms from youthful summers. Theoretical physics and musical headspace. 'What is it? What was it?' The irresistible core at the heart of a great session. Schrödinger's Irish tunes, the real music in the solo players and the liberation to be found in lilting. Getting things out of the way as you look for the joy in the music, and falling for the hardanger fiddle.

In this episode Caoimhín plays:

04:55 - Shéamuis Mhic a Bháird
(which, drawing on TheSession.org, is also known as An Chéad Phunnann, Clare, The Clare, The First Sheaf, Jim Ward’s, Jimmy Ward J.G., Jimmy Ward’s Favourite, Jimmy Ward’s J.G., Port Shéamus Mhic A Bháird, Seamus’s, Tom Ward’s, Ward’s, Ward’s Favorite, Ward’s Favourite)

24.50 - Kitty Lie Over (from the playing of Seamus Ennis)

52.22 - The Lonesome Jig ('or an echo of it, anyway')

01:27:00 - Easter Snow (from the playing of Seamus Ennis)

01:43.25 - And two reels, Paddy Sean Nancy's (from the playing of Johnny Henry) and Sunny Banks.
