Great New Recording With Wonderful Concertina Music And More

[richard]

Hello

 

I have just returned from a great trip to Ireland and I want to recommend a wonderful CD I found of Young musicians from East Clare who have been students with the great Mary Mac Namara who is a very influential musician and teacher there.

 

"The album is a fundraiser for music exchanges with young musicians from other countries"

 

 

"Unfolding"

Young Music From East Clare

Thanks,

i just listened to a clip from this yesterday on the Custys site and loved it. i made a point of going to the "young players" concert both times i was at the east clare Feakle festival. best-kept secret---if you love the classic east-clare style, going to and taping those concerts are gonna yield a rich store of music in that style. there were at least two concertina players in the group for both concerts i heard, and they were both lovely. one was named Eimar, that i do recall. plus, mary played solo herself when the young dancers were doing their stuff, so you got that as a treat as well....i'm an acccordion person as well as a concertina person, the box playing was also marvelous...

I got this from a Chiff and Fipple forum post:

 

"Here is more about the exchange Mary is currently involved in. She'll be in the U.S. in a few weeks bringing a group of her younger musicians. They are part of an exchange program with younger musicians from the eastern U.S. You can learn all about it here (& please share with others, & support if you can!):
