  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

  • Interview Mit John Sheahan 2002 (Hans-Jürgen Fink, Hamburger Abendblatt)
    Interview mit John Sheahan 2002 (Hans-Jürgen Fink, Hamburger Abendblatt) ? Was für eine Situation war das damals in Irland, als die Dubliners in den 60er- Jahren ihre Karriere starteten? Welche Bedeutung hatte das Singen und Musizieren, und welche Marktlücke haben Sie damals erobert? ! 1962 – das war eine völlig andere Welt, sie hat sich viel langsamer bewegt – heute ist alles so hektisch und verrückt. Die Leute hatten mehr Zeit, Zeit zum Nachdenken. Und die irische Musik, das war die Welt der älteren Generation. Sie war nicht schrecklich populär unter jüngeren Leuten und hat diese Generation erst langsam wieder erobert. Bei mir war das etwas anders, ich habe Tin Whistle gelernt und dann Flöte; ich bin ja wie Barney MacKenna in einer musikalischen Familie aufgewachsen. Die Art der „Dubliners“, mit der traditionellen irischen Musik umzugehen, war neu und erfrischend, sie brachte eine ganz andere Vitalität hinein. Nur ein Beispiel: Die älteren Musiker, das waren meist Dance Bands, sie haben alle gesessen. Wir standen auf der Bühne, wir haben gespielt und gesungen, und wir haben uns bewegt. Die Leute schienen das zu mögen, und so haben wir uns unsere ganz eigene Nische im Markt geschaffen. Wir haben die Leute magisch zur irischen Musik hingezogen, der wir neues Leben eingehaucht hatten. ? Sie sind jetzt vierzig Jahre im Musikgeschäft – das ist einzigartig. Wie würden Sie denn Ihr Erfolgsrezept beschreiben? ! Vermutlich ist es unser Erfolgsrezept, dass wir nie irgendeins gehabt haben. Wir haben ja noch nicht mal Verträge untereinander. Wir spielen einfach, wir haben musikalisch viel anzubieten, jeder bringt seine Soli ein. Und noch etwas ist ganz wichtig: Wir hängen nicht zwischen unseren Tourneen zusammen.

  • Dublin City Honours Music Legend Luke Kelly
    22 January 2019 Dublin City Honours Music Legend Luke Kelly One of the most famous sons of Dublin, music legend and activist Luke Kelly will be honoured by his beloved Dublin City, friends and family in celebration of his life, with the unveiling of two individual Luke Kelly statues, one on either side of the city, on 30th January 2019 to mark the 35th anniversary of his death. Organised by Dublin City Council, the official unveiling of both sculptures will be undertaken by President of Ireland Michael D Higgins, in the presence of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Nial Ring. From the streets of north Dublin to stages all over the world, Luke Kelly built his career on his ability to connect with the Irish people through story and song. Luke’s impact on the Dublin and Irish music scene revival of the 60s/70s is immense and inspiring a new generation since his death, his voice is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Speaking on behalf of organisers Dublin City Council, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Nial Ring said “Luke’s presence is still felt on the streets of his birthplace Sheriff St and the pubs and haunts of the literati circles around Grafton St/Baggot St where he frequented. This is a unique celebration for a very unique man. To this day he inspires Irish and international artists through his words, songs and activism. It is only fitting that we celebrate the man, the music and his immeasurable impact on the Irish music scene and wider Irish culture.

It was based on the theatrical theoh and techniques of the Russian Theatre practitioner, actor and director Konstantin Stanislavski (1863-1938), founder and theatre administrator ofthe Moscow Art Theatre and creator ofthe Stanislavski system of actor training, 'the most influential system of acting in the Western World'.2 The Stanislavski approach is a system of training, not a specific style of acting, that aims to provide the skills necessary for the actor to develop the inner life; the emotional and sensory life of the character.

It was back in February 2014 that I started thinking about a major cruise having retired the previous year and had the time to devote to a major trip. The decision was made a lot easier by the Cruising Association of Ireland (CAI) organising their summer cruise to the Derry Maritime Festival and the Clipper race. This cruise was planned for June so it made sense to join them as far as Derry then continue on. This would give an anticlockwise cruise (the recommended direction according to most of the pilot books) Tony Lynch was up for the cruise so full steam ahead in the preparations.

  • Report and Recommendations from the Luke Kelly
    Report to Arts, Culture and Recreation SPC th 10 July 2017 Item No. 4 Report and Recommendations of the Luke Kelly Working Group Introduction The Luke Kelly Working Group was established to consider the complex issues arising out of the selection of a proposal by artist Vera Klute of a sculpture of Luke Kelly (2015) and the subsequent offer to the city of a completed sculpture of Luke Kelly by artist John Coll (2016) commissioned by a private citizen Gerry Hunt. The Working Group was composed of Cllr Áine Clancy (Chair and Chair of the Arts and Cultural Advisory Group), Cllr Rebecca Moynihan (Chair of the SPC for Arts, Culture and Recreation) Ray Yeates (City Arts Officer), Ruairí Ó Cuív (Public Art Manager), Róisín Lonergan (Community Representative, Public Participation Network) and Anna O’Sullivan (external Art Expert and Director of the Butler Gallery, Kilkenny). Background In 2004, Dublin City Council passed a motion proposed by Cllr Christy Burke that a statue of Luke Kelly be commissioned for the city. As Dublin City Council did not have the required funding for such a major commission, the Dublin Dockland Development Authority made a commitment to put €80,000 towards the project for the commissioning of a sculpture of Luke Kelly to be located in the north inner city docklands area. However, with the collapse of the economy in 2008 the project did not proceed. When appointed Lord Mayor in June 2014, Cllr Christy Burke announced that one of his key objectives for the year was to commission the statue of Luke Kelly and to this end the Public Art Manager and Administrative Officer in Culture, Recreation and Economic Services were assigned to work on this project.
