Today, as usual on the first sunday of the Willie Clancy week, a big launch was held for a load of books and Cds .
I am just back and there’s loads of stuff I brought home :

Catherine and John McEvoy’s new CD, lovely flute and fiddleplaying with Felix Dolan on the piano
Archive recordings from the 60s of the fiddle playing of Cree fiddle player
Patrick Kelly
an absolutely gorgeous An Tri is an Rian by Claire Keville, John Weir on concertina and fiddle with Eithe ni Dhonaile on the harp (and a bit of Geraldine Cotter driving the keyboard).
Also launched were Brian McNamara’s Fort of the jewels, a compilation of 78 rpms from the fifties by Gael Lin, a must have double Cd really, and loads of other stuff.
All great stuff.
