PREFERED CITATION: Identification of item, Boston College Irish Fiddle Festival Collection, IMC_M003_1990, Irish Music Center, John J. Burns Library, Boston College. PROCESSING NOTES: Listeners of the audio CDs may notice a very brief pause each time a CD proceeds from one track to the next. These pauses do not indicate any absence of audio content from the original recordings. Identification of song titles in the inventory listing has been based on the designation given by the performers. Where the audio is unclear, the closest approximation of title has been provided by the collection processor. Music for which the title was not pronounced or is unknown has been designated as unidentified. 2 HISTORICAL NOTE: Festival Background On Sunday, March 25, 1990, the Boston College Music Department and Irish Studies Program co-sponsored "My Love is in America," a gathering of sixteen of the finest traditional Irish fiddle players living in the United States. Festival director and visiting ethnomusicology professor Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin afforded these performers the rare opportunity to collaborate with other master fiddle players, reuniting old musical acquaintances and sparking new ones. Following an afternoon of informal sessions, the festival culminated in an evening concert featuring the sixteen master fiddle players in various performance combinations, from solo to full group accompanied by bodhrán. Although Green Linnet Records released an audio CD highlighting many of the festival concert performances (My Love Is in America, 1991), the audio recordings at the John J. Burns Library capture the festival in its entirety. A groundbreaking event in many respects, the festival established Boston College as a meeting place for traditional musicians of varying ages and playing styles, inaugurated the Irish Music Archives at the John J. Burns Library, and prefigured the creation of the Gaelic Roots Festival at Boston College (1993-2003). Schedule of Events March 24, 1990 Performer Meeting and Session (circa 11 p.m., probably Gasson Hall) After Mícheál O Súilleabháin meets with fiddle players to discuss Sunday's events, the fiddle players play several tunes together.

April 19, 1990 Festival Interview (Boston College Audio-Visual Studio): Paddy Cronin interviewed by by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin. 4 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES: Fiddle Players Kevin Burke was raised in London by Sligo-born parents and has always returned to his root- inspiration-the early pioneer American 78rpm recordings of the three great Sligo fiddle players: Michael Coleman, James Morrison, and Paddy Killoran. Currently a member of the group Patrick Street, Kevin's extensive discography includes much-acclaimed solo albums (If the Cap Fits, Up Close), as well as recording with the legendary Bothy Band, Micheál Ó Domnhaill, Jackie Daly, and many more of the great figures in Irish musical tradition. Sligo at heart, but global in scope best describes this musician's energy. (From M. Ó Súilleabháin's My Love Is in America Festival Program) Liz Carroll was born in Chicago and much influenced in her youth by the Irish button-accordion player Joe Cooley, celebrated for his robust and driving style, and by fellow Chicago fiddle player and festival participant Johnny McGreevy. Liz's own style is a personal reworking of these and other Irish influences, and its unique power may owe something to that fact. Recordings include A Friend Indeed, Kiss Me Kate, and an important release on the Green Linnet label entitled Liz Carroll. (From M. Ó Súilleabháin's My Love Is in America Festival Program) Séamus Connolly hails from Killaloe, East Clare and immigrated to Boston in 1976 with a string of National Fiddle Competition Awards to his credit. Already influenced by the 1920 recordings of Coleman, Killoran and Morrison-and by his time spent with the famed Kilfenor and Leitrim Ceili Bands-Séamus' brilliant fiddle technique has been widely heard on all three national tours of the "Masters of the Folk Violin," as well as at the Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife and other prestigious events. His creative energy has recently found expression in two much-awaited solo recordings-Notes from My Mind released in 1988, and in the recently released Here and There (both on Green Linnet). (From M. Ó Súilleabháin's My Love Is in America Festival Program) Brian Conway inherited his sense of fiddle tradition from his father Jim-himself a fiddle player- and from Martin Wynne, fellow New Yorker and festival participant. Another major figure, the late Martin Mulvihill, provided the opportunity for Brian's initial traditional music experience, and the Conway house in the Bronx where Brian was born and raised provided an excellent environment for hearing the best of New York's contemporary Irish tradition-including the fiddling of Andy McGann, another festival participant. In common with those among our guest fiddle players who have entered the round of competitions, Brian has distinguished himself by winning the All-Ireland 1985 award. Recordings include The Apple in Winter (with Tony De Marco) on Green Linnet Records. (From M. Ó Súilleabháin's My Love Is in America Festival Program) Johnny Cronin was born in Gneeveguilla, Co. Kerry, and, as a result, he and his brother Paddy have inherited the rich Sliabh Luachra tradition carried by blind fiddle player Tom Billy Murphy, itinerant fiddle-master Pádraig O'Keeffe, and legendary fiddle player Denis Murphy. Johnny has nurtured this inheritance in New York where he has lived now for more than thirty years. Shanachie Records released a recording of his music entitled Cronin and Burke on which he 5 features with banjo player Joe Burke. (From M. Ó Súilleabháin's My Love Is in America Festival Program) Paddy Cronin has been living in the Boston area for over forty years. "I was born in the village of Gneeveguilla. That's in East Kerry, and takes in part of Cork. It's famous for its musicians and characters. I was taught by Pádraig O'Keeffe. He was the greatest. Pádraig was across the fields maybe three or four miles away, and then Denis Murphy. Why I could go to the window and see Denis' house, and Pádraig was on the opposite side again, just over the hill. So the three of us were very close" (from notes to Paddy's album The Rakish Paddy as quoted in the Festival Program). Paddy was recorded at the age of twenty-four for the London BBC archives, and his first commercial recording, entitled Music in the Glen, was released by Fleetwood Records in the fifties. (From M. Ó Súilleabháin's My Love Is in America Festival Program) Tony De Marco grew up in an Irish-Italian parish in Brooklyn and was drawn from an initial interest in American country fiddling into the sound-world of the New York-based fiddle players Paddy Reynolds, Johnny Cronin, Martin Wynne, and Andy McGann. Successive trips to Ireland, in particular County Sligo, led to a deepening of Irish roots which was nurtured by an important musical relationship with Paddy Reynolds. Attendance at the weekly session in Jim Conway's house in the Bronx led naturally to a musicale friendship with Brian Conway which is recorded on The Apple in Winter (Green Linnet Records).

    Celebrating Years of Music A Serenade to Music “We are the music-makers And we are the dreamers of dreams…” (Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, Ode) The story of BBC Northern Ireland’s involvement in nurturing and broadcasting local musical talent is still in the making. This exhibition provides a revealing glimpse of work in progress at the BBC’s Community Archive in documenting the programmes and personalities who have brought music in all its different forms to life, and looks at how today’s broadcasters are responding to the musical styles and opportunities of a new century. It celebrates BBC NI’s role in supporting musical diversity and creative excellence and reflects changes in fashion, technology and society across 80 years of local broadcasting. “ Let us celebrate the way we were and the way we live now. Much has been achieved since 2BE’s first faltering (and scarcely heard) musical broadcast in 1924. Innovation has Let us celebrate the ways we will be... been a defining feature of every decade from early radio concerts in regional towns and country halls to the pioneering work of Sean O’Boyle in recording traditional music and Sam Hanna Bell’s 1950s programmes of Belfast’s Let us count the ways to celebrate. street songs.The broadcasts of the BBC Wireless Orchestra and its successors find their contemporary echo in the world-class performances of the Ulster Orchestra and BBC NI’s radio and television schedules continue to Let us celebrate.” reverberate to the diverse sounds of local jazz, traditional and country music, religious services, brass bands, choirs, (Roger McGough - Poems of Celebration) contemporary rock, pop and dance music.

    HOT SEASON FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 2012-2013 TEACHER GUIDEBOOK Beyond the Bog Road Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul Photo by Luke Ratray Regions Bank A Note from our Sponsor For over 125 years Regions has been proud to be a part of the Middle Tennessee community, growing and thriving as our area has. From the opening of our doors on September 1, 1883, we have committed to this community and our customers. One area that we are strongly committed to is the education of our students. We are proud to support TPAC’s Humanities Outreach in Tennessee Program. What an important sponsorship this is – reaching over 25,000 students and teachers – some students would never see a performing arts production with- out this program. Regions continues to reinforce its commitment to the communities it serves and in ad- dition to supporting programs such as HOT, we have close to 200 associates teaching financial literacy in classrooms this year. Thank you, teachers, for giving your students this wonderful opportunity. They will certainly enjoy the experience. You are creating memories of a lifetime, and Regions is proud to be able to help make this op- portunity possible. Jim Schmitz Executive Vice President Area Executive Middle Tennessee Area Dear Teachers, It would be easy to say that Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul – an ensemble led by a Celtic fiddler who is one of the original performers in both Riverdance and Table of Contents Cherish the Ladies – is an Irish-American band. Considering the popularity of Irish music in our country Irish Music Timeline (2) these days, that would also make good marketing sense.
