Happy St Patrick's Day, friends near and far! If near, in An Pucán, Galway, this eve with Josh Kelleher - 6-8pm. pix from last week's gig with when Cornelius Bode joined Gonzalo and myself, we had a blast! ... thanks again, Zorny #Galway #StPatricksDay #irish #fiddle #celebration #wildatlanticway
such sad news of Dolores Keane‘s passing. most beautiful and unique voices in Irish traditional music. Had the honour to join her for some concerts just before Covid, and the depth with which she had touched so many lives over the years was only too apparent from the audiences, RIP Dolores
looking forward to giving a talk tomorrow on Trad Music in Galway during the 1960s and 1970s, 12-1pm, ISAS, Upper Newcastle www.u3agalway.com/events.php?t...
