Wait until you see the TG4 special in september
Is that soda bread on the table?
I’ll have a couple of those, with butter and some Lyon’s green label… thanks…
Didn’t want that to slip by unnoticed …
At least the guy could have had the decency to turn off his walkman while you were talking peter!
“the guy” is Aine Hensey for fecksake.
Looks like she’s still using the old Walkman Pro. Great machine.
The guy is who now?
Aine Hensey.
Don’t forget the Musicians Walk of Fame where they will put their hands and feet in cement!
Congrats Peter. Just listened to the show. Fair play to you!
Patrick.
Um … perhaps you’re thinking of the Sopranos?

Right, Aine Hensey. Is that someone that the world-wide humanhood of pipers should know about?
Okay, Aine Hensley is the presenter of a radio show called The Late Session. That is the show Peter and Kitty Hayes are being interviewed for. Here is a link that describes her program and you can see the past programs that you can listen to. If you click on “2006” and then scroll down you will see the show Peter and Kitty Hayes are on.

What I’ve heard is that since there are only about 4 radio stations in all Ireland (is that true or am I gullable?) these programs are national events -in that MANY people listen to these shows.
Peter, great to hear your voice.
All the best,
Áine Hensey
Presenter Áine Hensey, after spending 15 years in Clare, now lives in Co. Wexford and has been presenting traditional music programmes on radio for over 20 years and has a lifetime’s experience and knowledge of traditional music to call upon.

Uilliam
Áine has been around the block a few times, but The Late Session is produced by Peter Browne, who is a very good piper (pre-Keenan Bothy Band), and ensures that there’s usually a taste of piping in the show.

Nice show, it was good to hear both Kitty and yourself Peter talk about your music and its origins.
