A good folk-music shop adress ?

[lerikske]

Hello

 

Before all, excuse my poor english, I'm french speaker ( from Belgium ).

 

I'm not a concertina player but I love listen music.

At the National Media Library of my country I have listen a really good CD ( at my point of view ) but it seems very difficult to find it to buy in a CD store.

Impossible to find it around here, one can say that folk music, especially when it is specific is not really easy to find in my area.

I have tried to find it on internet but : nothing except few lines about it on sites ( one of them is this one ).

It's a pity that a so good album is not more " marketised" (?).

 

Then, I suppose it is a private production or something like that.

So, I come here to ask some good adresses in UK where possible to order it ( as new CD, not second-hand ) or, is somebody knows is there a personnal site of this Artist ( I didn't fint it ):

 

Cathy Custy

and the album I try, like a crazy, to find is : "An Ceoltóir Fanach"

 

This album made me discover the incredible subtilities of this not well know (by me) instrument which is the concertina.

I see here and on Youtube that in a fact, this instrument is very popular in UK.

Good, that is meaning that I have a lot of good musical surprises to discover

 

Have a nice weekend.

I did a quick search, and found this album, which lists Cathy Custy on concertina as a performer. Perhaps you could give it a try:

Maybe contacting Tóla Custy on his MySpace page would help you find the album you're looking for.

Well,

if I don't find some other adresses of UK specialist folk music CD shops,

it will a good idea to try to reach the Artist Cathy Custy by her parents.

 

I suppose that "Custy" is a nickname.

Custy's famous music shop in Ennis, County Clare. John O'Connor is really nice and helpful! The web site works if you stick at it!

You could try Roots2music in Newcastle . If you do not see the CD on the website its is worth asking them by email, or phone.

Hello

 

I send an email to Custy's shop in Ennis it seems that they have the CD.

But unfortunately, I can't order it by the site so I wait for a purchase order or banking references to order it.

 

If I don't receive them, I will try to the second adress from Theo.

I hope I will have that CD...

one day.... or in a next life

 

Thank you all

Well, I already had some problems of "disappeared" sendings or “supposedly” ever arrived.

Therefore, it is a way of payment which I do not use any more.

 

Anyway,I am a little disappointed not to have received yet some news of Custy shop concerning a purchase order or banking references.

Probably that annoy them at the administrative point. sob...

But I understand, I do not like the administratives complications myself.

 

Thus I will try other folk music stores.

The Smithsonian Museum here in the states created Folkways Music and has hundreds of recordings some including works of and by concertina players.
