    Nick Lethert Interview Narrator: Nick Lethert Interviewer: Dáithí Sproule Date: 1 December, 2017 DS: Dáithí Sproule NL: Nick Lethert [BEGIN NICK LETHERT PART 01—filename: A1005a_EML_mmtc] DS: Here we are – we are recording. 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 Irish Rovers Live at the River Rock Show Theatre
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 21, 2008 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS THE IRISH ROVERS LIVE AT THE RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE TUESDAY, MARCH 17 FOR TWO SHOWS ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY! The Irish Rovers are the international ambassadors of Irish music and have charmed and entertained people all over the world. It was in 1963 when 16-year old George Millar and 23-year old Jim Ferguson, both new emigrants from Northern Ireland, met in Toronto at an Irish function. They ended up singing together until dawn and it was right there and then that the Irish Rovers were launched. They performed as a duo until George's cousin, Joe Millar, immigrated to Canada the following year. After several months of engagements throughout Ontario, the trio made their way to Calgary where they joined forces with George's brother, Will Millar. The group then headed to the United States in 1965 where they ended up headlining for an unprecedented 22 sold- out weeks at The Purple Onion in San Francisco. The folk clubs of California became the learning grounds for the young Rovers and a year later, they were offered a recording contract with Decca Records. The First Of The Irish Rovers, a live album recorded at The Icehouse in Pasadena was released and it generated enough excitement to warrant another album and from this release came the million selling single “The Unicorn” … the band’s signature song to this day. Wilcil McDowell, an old friend from Ireland, joined the band at this time enhancing their sound and rounding out the group.

  • Shel Silverstein
    BIOGRAPHY: SHEL SILVERSTEIN CHILDREN’S AUTHOR, ONE-OF-A-KIND SONGWRITER Shel Silverstein is most famous, especially among younger generations, for the best-selling children’s books that he wrote and illustrated: The Giving Tree, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and A Light in the Attic. But Silverstein’s abundant creativity also stretched into songwriting, and he played a significant role in Outlaw- era music making. “Shel is the greatest lyricist there ever was,” said Country Music Hall of Fame member Bobby Bare, who frequently collaborated with Silverstein. “What he writes is so, so descriptive — so visual — that you couldn’t help but respond to it.” Born on September 25, 1930, in Chicago, Silverstein soaked up country music as a boy, but he felt the strongest tug toward art and words that were meant to be read. “When I was a kid — twelve, fourteen, around there — I would much rather have been a good baseball appeared on the landmark Wanted! The Outlaws album player or a hit with the girls,” he recalled. “But I couldn’t in 1976. Waylon Jennings released “The Taker” play ball. I couldn’t dance. Luckily, the girls didn’t want (co-written with Kris Kristofferson) in 1971. Silverstein me; not much I could do about that. So, I started to also scored two hits on the 1972 pop chart with Dr. Hook draw and to write.” & the Medicine Show’s “Cover of the Rolling Stone” and “Sylvia’s Mother.” Drafted into the U.S. Army in 1953, Silverstein became the staff cartoonist for the Pacific edition of Stars and The songwriter formed an enduring partnership with Stripes, the military newspaper.

  • 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 Press Release 2013
    ‘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.
