Concertina Young Talent Mairead Hurley On Rte, Et Cet.


Recommended Posts

Hello Tina lovers,

 

keep an eye on the Bloom of Youth program of august 4th. Kieran Hanrahan is going to have a talk with Sligo Concertina player Mairead Hurley. She's an All Ireland champion and, at present, is doing a PHD in Astronomy at DCU.

 

Mairead, on a Jeffreys, was, besides Jack Talty, the tutor at Tubbercurry Summmer School. I had the pleasure to jam with her at the Cobblestone (Dublin) the weekend before the School started.

At O'Donahue's (Dublin) I met Colin-Dipper-Anglo Player Paul with the unpronouncable Polish name ending on -witz, and with a gold plated banjo.

Jack Talty was outstandingly good. But with the group Cruinniu he only plays the piano, and the Anglo tina is played by a girl.

In Brennans pub in Tubbercurry i saw a 6 year old boy playing Anglo lying on his left side.

I'm glad to join in so much beauty from such talented people!

 

Cee You

 

Dirk
