Hi there Paul, hope all is well in Tyrone. Well done on the new CD got it last week and its been on flat out. Great flute playing as always and brillant choice of tunes. Will have to catch up soon, but up to me neck in nappies at the moment.
Cheers Brendan.
And where’s Brendan’s CD one might ask?
Up to its neck in nappies I suppose?
In fairness now, I can vouch for Brendan of this one. He made the effort to come all the way over to Dungiven, to play at a concert to open the Derry Fleadh (and playing mighty stuff might I add, with Paul McSherry & Brendan Hendry), so he really is making the effort to come out and play tunes, as well as being a dedicated Father! I can only imagine how difficult it would be to manage job, children and tunes all at once!
Brendan did the sensible / courteous thing and headed home at a respectable hour.
In saying that, Paul did, and so has Harry, and have no doubt that Brendan’s album will be a clinker, when he finds the time. I’m sure it takes a lot of time and dedication (could turn your head) doing it.
P.S. Weren’t you also doing some recording with Maranna, Brendan?
Kind words there Murrough, cheers. Hey Cocus it has been a long time coming but I am pleased to say it will be ready the first week in August. I hope all is well in Co. Clare ?
B.
Nice one Brendan,
August isn’t too long away now. Will be looking forward to hearing that!
I remember seeing a video of yourself, Brendan Hendry and Paul McSherry playing BBC’s Blas Ceoil, on Brendan Hendry’s MySpace page, so I posted a video of it on the videos thread here:

Sorry, hope I’m not hijacking the original Unearthed (http://www.flutemcglinchey.com) thread too much here Paul.
It’s OK, I’ll bring it back on track – I think Paul’s CD is an essential. 
Great tunes, great playing, great accompaniment, grand style, and a nice personality, too. It’s just got a lovely energy to it – moments of what sound like real joy – it’s obvious some love went into this one. Me, I’m getting some serious love for it
Looking forward to yours too, Brendan! And then if we can just get Mr. Clarkson back into the studio … though now it’s his turn in the nappie bucket 
P.S. I’m torn for favorites here, but the Lord Ramsey/Jolly Tinker/Rainbow’s End set just cranks. Terrific. Love the fiddling, too.
Just as an aside- it really isn’t Lord Ramsey. It’s Lady Ramsey- four parts in D. Great tune. Great playing.
Cathy and Brendan - Thank you so much for your encouragement.
I’m also looking forward to hearing Brendan’s new album having heard little snips of it on BBC. Its going to be fantastic if those are anything to go by.
Another great review in, from the Irish Music Magaizine:
PAUL McGLINCHEY
Unearthed
Own label: PMG 001 15 tracks
Sometimes, there comes along unexpectedly a little bit of serendipity and you can only feel grateful for hearing a bit of real material that was previously hidden. Paul McGlinchey does himself and Tyrone great credit with this offering.
There’s a great sense of power and direction, a rock-steady rhythm, and it’s not hard to fathom how he comes to have a couple of all-Ireland titles to his name. Great tunes from the likes of Josie McDermott and Vincent Broderick, and from a later generation, Charlie Lennon. I was especially impressed with the reel ‘The Piper’s Broken Finger’. It’s a point about a good recording, and it happens here, that any time you might get even a shade distracted there’s a twist or a little bit of a polished gem, and you say: “Hey, did you hear that? That’s real motoring!”
He’s got a fine team together for this offering: Brid Harper and MacDara O’ Raghallaigh, fiddles, Seamus O’Kane on bodhrán, Stevie Dunne on guitar and banjo, and Ryan Molloy on piano. But he certainly proves the flute and fiddle duets have a special blend and character to them.
The tempo on the jigs is very nicely judged. My favourite was ‘Courtown Harbour’, composed by Jimmy McHugh, originally from Tyrone, but who lived most of the time in Glasgow, (there’s a solid and wonderful festival in his memory every January. This is a real instalment of undiluted pure drop, and all the sweeter for it. Most of us agree that the best way to learn tunes is live from another player. But we all do use CD’s - and I can’t think of a finer collection than this for learning or listening.

Just a note to say that Murrough O’Kane (well known to all on the forum) is getting hitched and will (as would be expected) be otherwise occupied for a few weeks!
Best of luck my friend, and thanks for all your help.
Your CD is Top Notch!!!
Very inspiring stuff!!! 
Makes me proud to pplay the flute.
Hi all.
Some of the feedback I’ve been getting has indicated that folks would have liked to have heard more fiddle/flute duet. I have one other track with Brid Harper thet neither she nor I were entirely happy with. As Murrough is still on honeymoon, I have uploaded it onto a new myspace page where people can listen or download for themselves. This track is unmixed and unmastered!
Best wishes,
Paul
Hi Paul:
Just got this and have been giving it a listen while I’m sitting here paying bills. Mighty stuff.
FWIW, I’m pretty sure the first track tune 3 is not Lansdowne Lasses as labeled, but rather another great Josie McDermott tune, the Baltimore Salute.
It gets played a lot around here - kinda lets you know when one of the Baltimore crowd has snuck in to a New York session
All the best,
Tom
I can back that up Tom. 
We do seem to rock that tune at a drop of a dime!!!
By the way Paul, the horpipe that you play titled Sean Ryan’s is a monster of a tune. Very nicely played and great feeling! I will agree that The flute/fiddle tracks are very good but that hornpipe set is my top pick.
I picked your album up while I was in Ireland with Brendan Bell. We ended up staying with Oisin Mac Diarmada who was giving the album two thumbs up. It is a great addition to the ITM recording archive for sure.
Sorry to hi-jack Paul’s thread here again, but isn’t your album launch this weekend Brendan?
I was really looking forward to it, and got a call from the other Brendan (Brendan H) the other day, and he reminded me that it was on this weekend, but I had completely forgot, and my wife has organised a weekend in Dublin, meeting up with the in-laws et al, so I’m very disappointed not to be able to make the Belfast launch! 
I’ll definitely be seeing yous all the following weekend in Derry though!
P.S. What are the details of all (times / venues et al)?
Side-note: does the TWO Brendans thing ever get a bit confusing? I think we’ll have to get Paul McS to change his first name to Brendan by Deed Poll also, as a pre-requisite for the trio!
Hello All,
I have finally gotten around to doing a launch concert. It will be on the Sunday evening (9th November) of the Ennis Trad festival at 7pm. I am honoured to being joined by Stevie Dunne on guitar, Denis Liddy on fiddle and Marcus Moloney on banjo and hopefully a few others if I can tie them down!
Free entrance and all welcome!
Paul
Hello, All. I know this is quite an old thread, but I want to revive it for those who, like me, may not have already known about Paul’s stellar Unearthed collection, which I recently unearthed. So good. I stumbled across it recently and in researching Paul landed on this thread. If you haven’t heard it, it’s a wonderful album of traditional flute playing.
