Big Road in Chelsea; concert report The Folk Music Society of New York and Big Road in Chelsea co-sponsored a “mini- festival” of multicultural roots music on January 26. Alan Podber and Ricky Eisenberg, members of the Big Road Blues Band, plan to present these events on a more or less monthly basis in their excellent Chelsea location, which seats up to 300 people in a relaxed, café-like atmosphere. The first night extravaganza presented Solomon’s Band of Brothers (jazz and blues); Bernardo Palombo Conjunto (Latino instrumental and new song traditions); Mary Deady (Irish traditional songs in English and Gaelic); Apocalypse Five and Dime (ragtime-punk); and the Big Road blues Band, all MC’d by comedian Katie Halper. WBAI provided publicity for the event, which drew a diverse community audience, including families and people of all ages. Details of the next concert on March 16th are on page 2-3! Eisteddfod Takes a Break, but the Music Goes On At the January meeting, the FMSNY Executive Board voted to suspend our annual Eisteddfod festival for 2013 and reintroduce the Fall Weekend, which was one of the club’s yearly highlights before being combined with Eisteddfod in 2009. The Fall Weekend will, as always, feature the kind of program and performers that have long demonstrated the value of Pinewoods membership. Meanwhile, the Board’s Eisteddfod Committee will be working diligently to reimag- ine the festival so that when we bring it back in 2014 it will be attractive to a wider audience. Those who have attended Eisteddfod know what a great contribution it has made to the folk music community in terms of education, entertainment and fellowship. Our goal is to find a way to spread that message and draw an audience large enough to make the festival self-sustaining into the indefinite future. - 8 - These listings have been updated as of 2/28/13 -- dates in red bold were added since the printed copy was mailed (and some earlier listings may have been deleted).

Compiled by music historian and folklorist Richard Carlin, Classic Celtic Music delves into this diverse world of musical traditions, Sneak Preview: Listen to three selections from ‘Classic Celtic Music from Smithsonian Folkways’: http://s.si.edu/gFWsB> http://s.si.edu/gFWsB Carlin’s 23 selections span a wide spectrum of sounds from the Celtic regions, contrast- ing better-known early recordings with some of the best contemporary interpreters. Styles ranging from Sligo fiddle tunes to Northumbrian piping to sean-nós singing are represented in this enjoyable introduction to the Celtic music riches of the Smithsonian Folkways archives. Some of the selections, like Margaret Dirrane’s “’Twas Early, Early in the Spring” and Joe Heaney’s “The Rocks of Bawn,” date to the mid-1950’s, while others were recorded in the latter part of the 20th century. The tracklist includes a hearty sample of field recordings as well as a previously unissued tune, “Derry Hornpipe, recorded at the 1983 Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, DC.
