P Joe and Martin Hayes


Three sets from a live Clare FM broadcast. One of the best sessions I was ever at was the Wednesday night in Pepper's, Feakle and this reminds me of those nights. Not technical music and a 'a bit like going to church' as someone once said but magic stuff. Its a pity 'The Shores Of Lough Graney' is not let loose again, sort of Martin Hayes (and dad) before he became Martin Hayes but there you go.

I haven't hunted all the names down for these tunes (too lazy). And I'll try and hunt a picture out (Christian beat me to it).

The British Library Archive


Lucy Farr? Bobby Casey? No need to live outside the law any longer. Along with lots more unbelievable staff you can hear them here.

I can't wait for the Irish Traditional Music Archive to follow suit.
