It says “record” and the numbers are going up. This is myself and Nick Lethert making a second effort at our interview. It’s the first of December, isn’t it? NL: It is. DS: And we’re at the Celtic Junction. I suppose we’ll start at the same place as we started the last time, which was, I just think chronologically, and I think of, what is your background, what is the background of your father, your family, and origins, and your mother. NL: I grew up just down the street from the Celtic Junction in Saint Mark’s parish to a household where the first twelve or so years I lived with my father, who was of German Catholic heritage and my mother, who was Irish Catholic. Both of my mother’s parents came from Connemara. They met in Saint Paul, and I lived with my grandmother, who was from a little village, a tiny little village called Derroe, which is in Connemara over in the area by Carraroe, Costello, sort of bogland around there. My grandmother was a very intense person, not the least of which because her husband, who grew up in Maam Cross, a little further up in the mountains in Connemara, left her and the family when they had three young children, so it made for sort of a Dickens-like life for her and for her three kids, one of which was my mother.

  • The Development of an Archive of Explicit Stylistic
    CONCLUSIONS I trust I am offering to my countrymen an acceptable present: the gift has novelty, at least, to recommend it. Though Ireland has been long famed for its poetry and music, these subjects have never yet been treated of historically. I do not pretend to have done completely, what has lain so long undone: no doubt, many sources of information still remain unopened, and many documents unconsulted. However, I have marked out a path, which may facilitate the pursuit of those who shall hereafter follow me.1 It may be ironic to conclude this latest study of Irish traditional music with the words that Joseph Cooper Walker used to open what is regarded as the first book on the subject, yet the sentiment is shared. In many ways, the best of what both studies have achieved is to draw attention to the vastness of that which still remains unknown. Similarly to Walker, the focus of this study is not on comprehensiveness but on the investigation of a pathway that may be useful beyond the scope of this thesis. The fundamental objective of this research was to develop and refine a process through which an archive of explicit stylistic data could be constructed and then to determine what practical outcomes would emerge from working with explicit stylistic data in this way. One of the more interesting results of the project was that from conversations with other musicians and academics I found that the basic idea of codifying and using stylistic knowledge was not new. Kristiina Ilmonen, the former director of the Folk Music Department at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, told me that she uses the term ‘treasure box’, to describe the mental space where her musical knowledge is stored and from which she can select elements of it for use in performance.

    ‘The Friel Sisters’ Self-titled debut CD by The Friel Sisters The Friel Sisters, Anna, Sheila and Clare Friel, are excited to announce the release of their long awaited debut album, ‘The Friel Sisters.’ Recorded in the summer of 2013 their album hosts a mixture of tunes and song with guest musicians Gearóid Mooney and Griogair Labhruidh on guitar and Seamus O’Kane, bodhran virtuoso. The Friels are young traditional musicians born and brought up in Glasgow with their family roots firmly entrenched in the Donegal Gaeltacht (Doire na mainsear). They play a mixture of music interspersed with songs in English and Irish, many from their family repertoire. Being siblings, they achieve a close blend on fiddle, flute and uilleann pipes and have been drawn to music from bands such as The Bothy band, Altan and Planxty and singers such as the Ní Dhomhnaill and Keane sisters. The girls have performed in various venues and festivals including the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall as part of Celtic Connections, the Danish Tønder Festival, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann as part of FleadhLive, Willie Clancy Summer School, Catskill's Irish Arts Week in New York, Frankie Kennedy Winter School, Sligo Live, Celtic Fusion and at many other festivals across Europe, America and Asia. They have appeared as guests on stage with acts such as Altan, The Chieftains, Cherish the Ladies, Solas and Fidil. The official launch took place in Donegal 30/12/13 at the 20th and final Scoil Gheimhridh Frankie Kennedy, launched by Mairead Ní Mhaonaigh and was sold out. This was followed by a launch gig and BBC Radio 3 live slot on ‘World on 3’ at Celtic Connections on 17th January 2014, also both sold out.
