RP3 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Wow, does Michelle Mulcahy have a doctorate in something or is that a misprint? We saw the Mulcahy family during a private concert during a 2000 Ireland tour arranged by Mic Moloney and she was just in her teens then. My how time does pass. Ross Schlabach
Peter Laban Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Yes, she recently finished her PhD on the harping traditions of the Karen people of Burma, characteristics shared with Irish harping.

Stephen Chambers Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 With the Willie Clancy Week just over the program for the 2015 Cruinniú has been published. Concertina maintenance workshop by Stephen Chambers. Am I? Oh, OK! It's a bit like the concerts during Willie Clancy Week - you only know you're supposed to be doing it when you see your name on the poster/programme... Interesting that the concertina pictured on the PDF appears to be a Stagi English... Schhhh Jim, don't tell 'em - we're trying to infiltrate!
Peter Laban Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 It's a bit like the concerts during Willie Clancy Week - you only know you're supposed to be doing it when you see your name on the poster/programme... Not so sure about that Steve, for most instruments the names on the list bear no relation to the ones that actually turn up. I have also done some of these concerts (both the big ones in the hall and the lunchtime half hour ones) on five minutes notice. Pretty much the 'we need someone, you will do' approach to filling the bill.

I have also done some of these concerts (both the big ones in the hall and the lunchtime half hour ones) on five minutes notice. Well that's what people whose names are on the posters have told me Peter, going way back - they weren't even asked, it was just taken for granted that they'd turn up and play. But it also explains the last-minute looking for substitutes that you describe, when they don't (or didn't even know they were supposed to in the first place)... Still, from the organisers point of view, there's no lack of musical talent around the place, to put on a good concert/recital! Pretty much the 'we need someone, you will do' approach to filling the bill. Is that all I mean to 'em... Edited July 15, 2014 by Stephen Chambers

As I got it this would be the case if you were just requested in the last minute (which you apparently won't be) ...
