    Bill Whelan, Globalising Irish Music UCDscholarcast Series 1: (Spring 2008) ________________________________ The Art of Popular Culture: From ‘The Meeting of the Waters’ to Riverdance Series Editor: P.J. Mathews © UCDscholarcast UCDscholarcast 1 Bill Whelan, Globalising Irish Music Bill Whelan Globalising Irish Music One of the duties an author, performer or composer undertakes when travelling around the world in advance or in the wake of a production is to face the media. Such has been my experience with Riverdance. Sitting in stuffed rooms in Sydney or Seattle or stretched on soft settees in say, Stockholm, I have been asked an amazing array of questions. Over the thirteen years of the life of this show I have been rendered mute by questions such as (in London): ‘how many pairs of tights does Riverdance go through in an evening?’. That one gave me some pause for thought, but not as much as the question I was asked in Tokyo when we first went there. Through an interpreter a Japanese journalist probingly inquired if I felt that the album Ó Ríada sa Gaiety was an important influence in changing the course of Irish traditional music. These kinds of questions have demonstrated to me over the years the variety of responses that people have to what was actually the same musical or theatrical experience. To progress a bit further on the theme of artistic intent versus audience response—in France I recall a press conference where a few journalists were pushing me to interpret Riverdance as an Irish Nationalistic cultural response to years of British domination.

  • Comhaltas- Interview with Gearóid Ó Hallmhuráin
    Treoir Comhaltas Magazine (Spring 1997) Out of the West By Raymond Hughes My father purchased an old Hohner accordion from a neighbour in Ballygriffey and decided that Frank Custy in Toonagh had a fitting alternative to my lack of talent on the hurling field. So begins the magnificent tale of one man’s musical journey continuing four generations of Clare concertina players. With several All-Ireland championships to his credit, Gearóid O hAllmhurain has finally released a solo album, entitled Traditional Music from Clare and Beyond. Acclaimed as one of the finest concertina recordings of all time by some critics, it is so much more than simply concertina. Joined by three of County Clares legendary fiddlers, Paddy Canny, Peter O’Loughlin and Martin Hayes, as well as Belfast harper Janet Harbison, sean-nós dancer Patrick O’Dea from Seafield, Inis Oírr flute player Mícheál O hAlmhain, and several other special guests, there is the makings of an entire céilií band on this recording. This delightful recording was released in Ireland and North America this summer. In the 1980s, Gearóid made his first forays into Amerikay as manager and piper of Dísirt Tola. This extraordinary band of young talent created their own cooperative recording produced in Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. Touring England and New England, the band consisted of Sharon, Mary, and Garry Shannon, and a rake of young Clare and Dublin musicians. To this day, that album remains a most sought after collection but is as rare as hen’s teeth. Then for many years, Gearóid disappeared from the professional music arena in exchange for his academic pursuits.

  • Neil Young Journeys
    Mongrel Media Presents NEIL YOUNG JOURNEYS A Film by Jonathan Demme (87 min., USA, 2011) Language: English Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival 2011 Slamdance Film Festival 2012 Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith 1028 Queen Street West Star PR Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Tel: 416-488-4436 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 Fax: 416-488-8438 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/press.html SYNOPSIS In May of 2011, Neil Young drove a 1956 Crown Victoria from his idyllic hometown of Omemee, Ontario to downtown Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall where he intimately performed the last two nights of his solo world tour. Along the drive, Young recounted insightful and introspective stories from his youth to filmmaker Jonathan Demme. Demme, a long-time fan and collaborator, captured these tales of Young’s childhood and masterfully weaved them together with his mesmerizing music including songs from the 2010 album Le Noise and powerful renditions of classics including “Ohio”, Hey Hey, My My”, “I Believe in You” and previously unreleased songs “Leia” and “You Never Call.” Through the tunes and the tales, Demme portrays a personal, retrospective look into the heart and soul of the artist. In NEIL YOUNG JOURNEYS, Young’s intense performances are presented in full, along with passages from the funny and sometimes wistful ride into town. Demme and Young previously collaborated on two other documentaries, Neil Young: Heart of Gold, which chronicled Young performing in Nashville, the year after he survived a brain aneurysm and Neil Young Trunk Show, which memorialized a Pennsylvania concert during Young’s “Chrome Dreams II” tour.
