Tg4 Program On Music Of County Clare

[Alan Miller]

Over the weekend TG4 presented a fascinating program on the styles of Music in County Clare. It includes extensive descriptions from Noel Hill and Mary McNamara, and also some film of Kitty Hayes and Paddy Murphy. To see it go to TG4.tv and click on Ceol on the left side, then click "play" on the 23/5/08 program. I suppose there is a way to put a link directly in but I couldn't find how to do it, so if someone is able to insert a direct link, it would be helpful. Alan

Hey Alan

 

These were added to YouTube on May 19. If I did my detective work ok, it should be the same show. I can't be sure since I don't speak the language.

In any event, there are 486 of them to look through, if they aren't the correct ones: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=Sanyallana

They're in reverse date order

 

Thanks

Stephen: Thanks. The TG4 link will be good for several months then will cycle off. TG4 is a very interesting source that is fun to check every once in a while.

 

Leo: The YouTube links should be on a long time. Your detective work is worthy of Columbo. Also helpful is your Nov. 22, 2007 post on downloading.

That's Paddy Murphy, and the flute player is Peter O'Loughlin himself, the two of them were a famous (competition-winning) duet. The film was made at the 1963 All-Ireland Fleadh in Cashel.

 

i loved his playing....

Me too. Whenever I could I used to go to Inagh on a Sunday night to hear Paddy, Peter and Tom Eustace play for the set dancing - we thought then that set dancing would die out with that generation, but look what happened!
