Music in Ireland : the book, now on the cheap

[Cayden1]

From ‘the other’ Forum, maybe of interest to some here:

@Patrick Hutchinson

Dorothea Hast and Stan Scott’s book Music in Ireland is available very cheap from Oxford U. Press. Only 6.25 pounds for the hardback, down from 25, and that includes a 70 min. CD. As the same book is available in the US from OUP USA for $41, it’s still a bargain for N. Americans, even at 9 quid postage.

See: http://www.oup.com/uk/catalogue/?ci=9780195145540&view=00&promo=white75&salepage=%2Fsale%2F2006%2Fmusic%2F

The following is cribbed from MusTrad:
the book comes with an associated 27-track CD, closely linked to the ‘listening activities’ described above, which features previously unreleased recordings of the following; Junior Crehan, Michael Tubridy and Tommy McCarthy in session in Clare; Kitty Hayes; Mary Mac Namara; Kevin Crawford; Jerry O’Sullivan; Jerry O’Reilly; Len Graham; and, the band Lúnasa.

Thanks for the notice… incidently, Amazon and Barnes and Noble both have it for considerably savings as well, for US folk interested.
