The legend. 'We just kept climbing up that mountain.' The hardest working woman in folk music. Hearing Mary Bergin and the beginnings of a career in the entertainment business. New York, the drive to succeed and picking up the phone thirty times a day to get a gig. Balls, weddings, county dances, and the circuit. An American in Ireland. Tour(s), interrupted. 'It's a tough old racket.' Keeping going and being present for the opportunity.
And the tunes!
The Palm Tree (Billy McComiskey) and a tune from Brendan Mulvihill
The Cat's Meow
Cailín na Gruaige Doinne (The Girl with the Brown Hair)
A reel and
Hynes's March

So much in here: piping as meditation and not setting fire to the old Ganley flute. Starting on the whistle but falling for the pipes despite the danger. The eternal conversation: reeds, drones and regulators. The session spaces of Belfast, open piping closed piping, Tommy Reck and saying 'I Love You' to Liam O'Flynn. Being a girl and running an all female session. A room tuned to G Minor, the Drogheda connection, the five string banjo and 'Lovely Leitrim.' Oh. And Robbie Williams and Graham Norton too. Bish Bash Bosh. What a treat.
The tunes:
Two jigs - Mama's Pet and Hinchey's Delight
Alexander's Hornpipe and The Kildare fancy
Two McKenna Reels
The Sailor's Cravate, I'm Waiting For You and Bonny Kate (from the playing of Tommy Reck)
The Drunken Gauger
and
Lovely Leitrim (thanks Mr & Mrs Farrell)
Every week we are amazed by how much fun we've had - seriously.
And then the next week we are amazed all over again.
Rita, thank you.

Stories of a life in music, so far. Ancient tunes and new ones, losing a loved one and finding her again through tunes. The Irish connection. Out of The Wind, Into the Sun: depression, loss, and the therapeutic power of psilocybin mushrooms. Recovery into music. All of everything in a single tune. 'Keeping myself in the air as an artist.' Country song-smithing, Darren's unending love of pop, Dom's unending love of neon COLD BEER signs. The road, the weight, a writer not writing. Bruce Springsteen, Cillian Vallely, Jon Bon Jovi and a little bit o' John Denver.
The tunes:
Castle Kelly's and Brelydian (Bob Brozeman and Donal O'Connor)
Two Bird Stone
The Broken Parts + The Maids of Michelstown
Sinead Maire’s Jig (Cillian Vallely) and the Sporting Pitchfork
Lucy Farr's and 'The 99'

A chat to mark passing the 100K download mark, with Gerry McKeague of Belfast and Geelong. About what we've learned so far and where we're going. Seriously great fun, and a lovely chance for us to think out loud about what this all means to us. And to say thank to all of you who've travelled with us this far.
Tunes:
Darren plays Sandy River Belle and Morphine
Dominic sings Please Tell My Brother
and
Gerry sings Sailing Southwards from Rathlin Island
During the episode Darren spoke about his good friend Jae Mulder the urban explorer. This is one of the last posts Jae made to Reddit before he moved on. He was always a very careful guy when it came to sharing as he didn't want to get in trouble with the law. Well in the end that didn't really matter so he shared his adventures with us all. RIP Jae man. HOONK HOOOOONK!

Reddit Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/brisbane/comments/8480df/over10yearsagoiusedtobeheavilyintourban/
Darren also mentioned a place called 610 Anne Street in Brisbane that the DIY punk and noise scene was based around for a time. Here's a great article that brings some of it to life. https://gladrappa.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/610-ann-street-circa-2005/?fbclid=IwAR0AGbPH6-5DFO6aKj3UYIx-n5WYAoui8YRI5g1o7FtFl_t08N7WpvNcfqU

Kilfenora; the nervous you get playing in front of ten people, worse than playing in front of a thousand. Leaving your ego at the door. Being happy with what you're doing, being happy within yourself. First hearing the pipes and the trials of competition. Restless creativity, and finding your way to Riverdance. Managing social media and the inner self. (And a Burmese Mountain Dog called Saoirse).The tunes:The Cat's Meaow (Joanie Madden) and Ward's JigThe Three KilfenorasA Slow Air...Queen of the FairandTwo jigs Tara Howley Music:www.facebook.com/tarahowleymusic/Tara's Instagram is here:www.instagram.com/tarahowleymusic/There's a cool video of Tara and her dad here: Tara Howley Traditional Irish Music and Dancewww.youtube.com/watch?v=bVMrAJN5UzQThanks Tara.

Jig songs, syncopation and keeping away from the funky chicken tunes. Playing out til 4 in the morning with your dad on a Fleadh Saturday night. The magic of Donegal, chancing your arm for a Riverdance audition and not talking to Maria Carey at the pyramids. Finding your own musical voice. Battering, sets and the beauty of West Clare dancing. Youth trad Tinder, the elusive high G# and teaching the concertina to learners across the world.

From Ballsgrove to Dooley Gate. Drogheda singing group to Marcelo Bielsa. Innovating and finding your voice. Halloween, bonfires, fireworks, hash and Scrumpy Jack. Parochial Kavanagh, Jinx Lennon, Blindboy Boatclub and the rise and fall of the commuter belt.
This is Sean Mathew's second appearance on the podcast and it's bloody good for the soul I tell ya! Most of the chat is based around Drogheda but really, everything that is said in here will apply to most large towns.
In this episode Sean sings:
Sweet Dooley Gate
Annan Waters
Welcome To Ballsgrove
The Commuter's Song
Turns and Tolls

Mitching classes to work on your music. Sean-nós: 'My granny would have just called them songs.' Tradition and change, art and technique and the soul of the thing. Writing in English, writing in Irish. Activism, collectivity and music as barriers against despair.
The tunes:
Two reels - The Green Bunch of Rushes and The Merry Sisters of Fate
Tá na Páipéir dhá Saighneáil
A song Eoghan learned from his father and grandmother - Meiriceá
The Monaghan Jig
and
Eoghan's song, The Deepest Breath
You can find the video for The Deepest Breath here, and it's unmissable:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjPHKJaCb38&feature=emb_logo
Directed by Myles O'Reilly.
'Solas An Lae,' Eoghan's album with Ultan O'Brien, has one of my favourite covers of all time - and the music is cracking.
Pre-order it here:
https://eoghanultan.bandcamp.com/releases?fbclid=IwAR0pR0UxdIctwvOacAzaW1sDF4enXl6FNQbLrEKKp-6qoXCD47_lmZPR-V8
