Lawrence Reeves Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Nice interview of Chris Droney on this past Sunday's Kitchen Session from Clare FM. Now in all fairness to a previous comment that it is a contrived session. So it may be, but it is still live music captured, many times with dancers. It is also a chance to hear players not normally on recordings put together for music played at a very high standard. So I am enjoying this one.

I enjoyed hearing Chris talk (the potato story is wonderful) and I liked the singing. But -- is her name Paula ?-- and her "In your own time now, lads" and her continual gushing of "Lovely," "wonderful," "I luv it..." got a bit too saccharine for me. I'm glad there is such a program, but it isn't near the top of my list. A session is hardly ever so structured. It probably would be rather boring to hear an actual live session with a mike left on to capture idle chat and tuning and false starts. So for commercial radio this is as good as we can hope for. And I certainly don't want to detract from the pleasure people get from the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffwright Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 http://www.clarefm.ie/main/kitchen%20sessions.html Paula said ClareFM were considering bringing them out on cd in the near future. Some clown asked her if they could have the DVD (of a radio program!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
