    <description>The Blarney Pilgrims Podcast is a weekly journey to the heart of Irish music. We interview players of Irish music about how they first came to the music and the place it occupies in their lives now. We use the word ‘heart’ intentionally, because heart is what this music, and the people who play it, are all about. It’s a funny, warm and often unexpected journey – and the tunes are crackin' too. 
NOTE:
Hey there - it's Darren and Dom here. So...we want to let you know that last week was the last episode (Ep 94) of the Blarney Pilgrims Podcast for now. We've come to a point where we've both decided to take a long pause and focus on a few other things. Knowing how much the podcast means to you all, it's a decision we've been really reluctant to take. What we DO know is how massively grateful we are for every text, every thumbs up, every raised eyebrow of support we've had over the past two years. You are all legends, and we're forever in your debt. Thanks especially to everyone who's become a Patron Saint and supported us through the toughest of economic times, and thanks most especially to the musicians. To those who have been so generous to share their tunes and stories with us, and to those who've welcomed us into pub sessions and festival gatherings and house sessions and campsite sessions. Wherever in the world we've chatted with players of the music, we've been made to feel like lifelong pals. It's a testament to the open heartedness of the communities who keep the music going wherever they are, and we can't thank you all enough. We hope this archive will remain of use to people even as we're taking a pause. So - please do stay in touch, don't be a stranger, and if you see us out and about, do say hello. And we'll see you when we see you. Dom and Darren.

  <itunes:subtitle>Piping as meditation and not setting fire to the old Ganley flute. The session spaces of Belfast, open piping closed piping, Tommy Reck and saying 'I Love You' to Liam O'Flynn.

  <description>So much in here: piping as meditation and not setting fire to the old Ganley flute. Starting on the whistle but falling for the pipes despite the danger. The eternal conversation: reeds, drones and regulators. The session spaces of Belfast, open piping closed piping, Tommy Reck and  saying 'I Love You' to Liam O'Flynn. Being a girl and running an all female session. A room tuned to G Minor, the Drogheda connection, the five string banjo and 'Lovely Leitrim.' Oh. And Robbie Williams and Graham Norton too. Bish Bash Bosh. What a treat.
The tunes:
Two jigs - Mama's Pet and Hinchey's Delight
Alexander's Hornpipe and The Kildare fancy
Two McKenna Reels 
The Sailor's Cravate, I'm Waiting For You and Bonny Kate (from the playing of Tommy Reck)
The Drunken Gauger 
and
Lovely Leitrim (thanks Mr &amp;amp; Mrs Farrell)
Every week we are amazed by how much fun we've had - seriously.
And then the next week we are amazed all over again. 
Rita, thank you.

The tunes:
Two reels - The Green Bunch of Rushes and The Merry Sisters of Fate
Tá na Páipéir dhá Saighneáil
A song Eoghan learned from his father and grandmother - Meiriceá
The Monaghan Jig
and 
Eoghan's song, The Deepest Breath
You can find the video for The Deepest Breath here, and it's unmissable:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjPHKJaCb38&amp;amp;feature=emb_logo
Directed by Myles O'Reilly.
'Solas An Lae,' Eoghan's album with Ultan O'Brien, has one of my favourite covers of all time - and the music is cracking. 
Pre-order it here:

    <![CDATA[<p>Mitching classes to work on your music. Sean-nós: &#39;My granny would have just called them songs.&#39; Tradition and change, art and technique and the soul of the thing.  Writing in English, writing in Irish. Activism, collectivity and music as barriers against despair. </p>

<p>The tunes:<br>
Two reels - The Green Bunch of Rushes and The Merry Sisters of Fate<br>
Tá na Páipéir dhá Saighneáil<br>
A song Eoghan learned from his father and grandmother - Meiriceá<br>
The Monaghan Jig<br>
and <br>
Eoghan&#39;s song, The Deepest Breath</p>

<p>You can find the video for The Deepest Breath here, and it&#39;s unmissable:<br>

Directed by Myles O&#39;Reilly.</p>

<p>&#39;Solas An Lae,&#39; Eoghan&#39;s album with Ultan O&#39;Brien, has one of my favourite covers of all time - and the music is cracking. <br>
Pre-order it here:<br>

  <description>A Belgian neighbour in Nigeria and a first encounter with the recorder and whistle; traditional music in Thailand and a global musical imagination; Maria Carey, melismatic singing, Paddy Tunney and the Ulster song tradition; Irish music with Chris and Aidan and John, and meeting Matt Molloy. Holding on to a singer so they don't drift away. Composing, teaching and podcasting, constructing a living in music. And, you know, heart and soul stuff - like hope. 
So - as you'll know from the chat, Shannon's got a very generous amount of resources and content for players and non players alike. You can find it all through her website. 
https://shannonheatonmusic.com/
Shannon's podcast, Irish Music Stories, is here (it's great):

And you can watch their YouTube channel here: 
https://www.youtube.com/c/ShannonHeatonMusic
The tunes:
The Mountain Road and The Galway Rambler
The Belle of the South Shore (written for Weird Old Aunt Jane) 
Where The Moorcocks Crow (from the singing of Paddy Tunney)
P. Joe Hayes Number 2, The Cottage in the Grove and The Mother and Child Reel (with Matt Heaton)
The Irish Washerwoman
This was a lovely experience, recording this episode. Early in the Boston morning for Shannon, late in the Barwon Heads night for us. 
Thank you Shannon.

Again, this interview was a long time coming. We had actually planned to record it the week Covid hit so we pulled the plug. Now fast forward 12 weeks and we finally got to sit down, face-to-face, with Máirtín, and believe us, it was worth the wait. 
In this episode Máirtín plays:
The Lobster (An Gliomach)
Tripping Up The Stairs
Anach cuain (Slow-air dedicated to  Ben Duffy)
McKenna Polkas
Long Slender Sally / The Gosson That Bate His Father

  <description>Billy Far Out - How sitting on a train with Andy Irvine at 13 years old can change your life forever.
The Andy Irvine song Corinn talks about is this one, I think: 'Billy Far Out' 
https://andyirvinelyrics.wordpress.com/2014/02/12/billy-far-out/
We also talk about the song 'O'Donoghues' which is a bloody brilliant chronicling a time and place. When I listen to this it sort of tugs at something in me to do with the optimism of youth, and dreams of a future in music, and stuff like that. Fits pretty sweetly with Corinn's story of chatting with Andy on the train. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3swQZ_avLX0
And a great interview, Andy Irvine talking to The Second Captains, my favorite sports podcast that ventures into other areas from time to time. From October 2018.

Corinn mentions her friend, flute maker and musician Michael Grinter, who died tragically at the end of 2018. You can find more information about his life and work at his website, here:

Special thanks to the Last Jar in Melbourne for helping us out with space to record in and chairs to sit on.
