SUMMARY:Album Launch - Shane Meehan 'Twill do'
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 9th Nov. 2019\, Lucas’ bar (back room) @ 2pm. \nFree admission \n\nShane Meehan~ “Twill do” \nI grew up in Carrick-on-Shannon in Co. Leitrim and was started off on my musical journey at the age of 8 by my grandfather John Meehan who came from Cootehall near Boyle\, Co. Roscommon. While my grandfather was mainly a flute player he also played the fiddle. John greatly admired composers who contributed to the tradition such as Paddy Fahy\, Paddy O’Brien and Charlie Lennon among others. This starting point was a fundamental inspiration to me as a young boy and in my early teens I tried composition myself but it took a while before the tunes started to take a shape for me. \n​Other influences on my fiddle playing and compositional work are the famous Sligo fiddle players Michael Coleman and his contemporaries James (Lad) O’Beirne\, Paddy Killoran and James Morrison. Apart from the influence of the Sligo style both past and present\, my other main influence came from local Leitrim musicians whom I played with growing up such as Oliver Loughlin\, Damian O’Brien\, Padraig McGovern\, Ben Lennon\, and many others. \nIn 2009 the well-known band Lúnasa worked with local musicians as part of their residency project in Leitrim. On this project\, two of my tunes The Courthouse Reel and Dave Donahue’s were subsequently recorded with Lúnasa on the Leitrim Equation album which was the culmination of their residency. \n​Another recording featuring some of my compositions is the album by the All-Ireland winning Moylurg ceilí band called The Rest is History. Two tracks include a march written especially for the band the year we won and the other track features a selection of three reels. \n​Apart from these recording projects\, my compositions have been broadcast on radio and television on numerous occasions. I particularly enjoyed sharing a selection recorded for Geantrai back in 2010 when I played with fellow Leitrim musicians Sean Gilrane and Lorraine Sweeney. More of my compositions were featured on the TG4 programme An Samhradh Linn in 2013 where I played a set of original reels with Daithi Gormley accompanied by John McCartin. \n​The impetus for this recording came from the passing of my grandfather\, and this album is a dedication to his memory.

SUMMARY:Album Launch - Deirdre Millane 'Idir Dubh agus Bán'
DESCRIPTION:Friday 8th November 2019\,\nThe Old Ground Hotel\, Ennis\, @ 8:15pm\nFree admission \n\nDeirdre Millane –  “Idir Dubh agus Bán” \nBorn and raised in County Clare\, Deirdre Millane has been immersed in Irish Traditional music from a young age. Deirdre started her musical journey\, like most others\, on the tin-whistle in her local Comhaltas branch and within a couple of years she decided that her musical endeavours were best suited to the piano. Under the tuition of teachers\, Padraic O’ Reilly and Tadhg Ó Meachair\, she developed an awareness and understanding of how best to exploit the piano’s ability to interpret traditional Irish tunes. \nDeirdre sought to further enrich her musicality by studying classical piano and the theory of music. Although she much prefered the lively nature of traditional music\, this foundation greatly enhanced her understanding of musical elements such as structure\, harmony\, melody and rhythm. \nDeirdre continued her studies at The Irish World Academy where she completed a BA in Irish Music and Dance. During her time in UL\, Deirdre further honed her skills in playing and composing and also gained the opportunity to learn from many great pianists she looked up to over the years such as Míchéal Ó Súilleabháin\, Liam Bradley\, Francis Ward\, Caoimhin Vallely and Ryan Molloy. Traditional Irish music is something which Deirdre holds very dear with a cycle of constantly playing and learning and passing on her knowledge to her students. \nDeirdre is a true advocate of Traditional Piano and feels blessed to have been immersed in the music from a young age. She is currently a resident musician with the show ‘Turas’ in Siamsa Tíre\, The National Folk Theatre of Ireland. As a proud Clare woman\, Deirdre is delighted to be launching her debut album ‘Idir Dubh agus Bán’ in her native county.

She grew up surrounded by the richness of Clare music and plays in a unique soulful style. Sitting in sessions from a very young age she discovered the joys of Doolin as a teen\, where she met and played with legendary musicians such as Kevin Griffin and Eoin O’Neill. In the 1990’s the band The Ceili Bandits was formed\, Yvonne recorded two CD’s with them and toured Europe and the U.S.A. She also recorded her first solo CD in 2004. \nFor many years Yvonne also played with trad-rock band Bushplant and singer-songwriter Luka Bloom. \nSince then Yvonne has created her own music school in Ennistymon\, Co. Clare\, and performs and teaches at various festivals at home and abroad. Her recent collaboration with Donegal accordion player Dermot Byrne is charming audiences with their fresh new sound.

By her mid teens\, she joined her first band Curragh and was then a founder member of the popular Manchester Celtic rock group\, Toss the Feathers. \nIn July this year\, Angela released her debut solo banjo album ‘The Gort Mile.’ The album’s title is a reference to her origins; Angela’s Grandfather\, John-Joe Lally\, came from Peterswell and won the Gort Mile race in the early 1920’s. Angela spent her summers in Peterswell\, frequently visiting the family home of celebrated box player Joe Cooley\, playing tunes with Joe’s brother\, Jack. \nDescribed as a uniquely soulful banjo player\, where technical mastery meets impeccable musical taste\, Angela is at last sharing her considerable talents as a musician and composer with the wider world.

SUMMARY:Friday Night Album Launches
DESCRIPTION:The 25th Ennis Trad fest\nFriday night album launches! \nFriday 9th Nov.\nThe Templegate hotel\, Ennis\, from 8pm.\nFree admission. \n\n8pm\nGráinne Brady\n“The road across the hills” \n\nGráinne Brady is a fiddle player from Co. Cavan. Currently based in Glasgow\, where she works as a professional musician\, Gráinne plays in a variety of different bands including MG Alba Scots Trad Awards nominees Top Floor Taivers\, string group The Routes Quartet\, and Gaeilge/Gàidhlig supergroup LAS. \nGráinne’s debut album is the first part of a project on Irish immigration in Scotland\, a country to which many Irish came to seek work over the last few centuries. With all music composed by Brady\, ‘The Road Across the Hills’ will act as a soundtrack to the novel ‘Children of the Dead End’\, the unofficial autobiography of Donegal poet and writer Patrick MacGill.\nBorn in Glenties in 1889\, MacGill emigrated to Scotland in the 1900s\, and with barely an education\, he began to discover his talents as a writer whilst working as a labourer on the railways in Glasgow and as a navvy in Glencoe. His writings reflected on his growing preoccupation with the poor\, the downtrodden and the workers who\, like himself\, toiled in the mud to build civilisation but lived on the outside of society. \nWith themes of immigration and extreme poverty\, each track on ‘The Road Across the Hills’ was written in response to pivotal moments in the novel; a book that has stuck with Gráinne since first reading it as a child. Entwining the musical tale are excerpts from MacGill’s poetry\, acting as a reflection upon the story\, adding even more depth to the soundtrack.\nThe music will take the listener on a journey; from MacGill’s childhood in rural Donegal\, to gruelling labour in Scotland\, as a potato picker\, or ‘tattie howker’\, labourer and navvy\, with some colourful characters along the way\, as well as a bittersweet story of love and loss. The story speaks for the outcasts in society\, the labourers\, navvies and waifs. It speaks for the Irish immigrant. It depicts the hardships endured by both the Irish and Scottish lower class in times past. The music delves into this world\, whilst highlighting the enduring hope that drove such determination to succeed despite the odds – an enduring concept just as relevant today in the discussions around immigration as when MacGill was writing.\nAlthough Gráinne moved to Glasgow from Ireland in a much more enlightened time\, the compositions are not only inspired by this tale but are also a reflection of her own musical journey over the last few years. Joining Brady for this performance will be Sam Mabbett (accordion)\, Michael Biggins (piano) and Paul McClure (bodhrán). \n\n9pm\nCaoimhín Ó Fearghail & Paddy Tutty\n“Flute & Fiddle” \n“How welcome it is to be asked to endorse such a quality fiddle and flute album as this from two young Waterford musicians who can hold their own with any present or historical flute and fiddle combination.\nAttractive\, effortless and well chosen pieces make this recording a welcome companion to the collection of any follower of quality music. I was sent five or six tracks and found myself demanding more.\nCongrats Paddy and Caoimhín on such a fresh respectful approach to our traditional music”. \nJohn Carty\nJuly 2018 \nAlbums will be on sale on the night.

SUMMARY:Festival launch night!
DESCRIPTION:The 25th Ennis Trad festival.\nThursday 8th Nov. from 7.30pm.\nThe Sanctuary\, Queens hotel\, Ennis. \n\nA great night of music & song with the first of our album launches!\nFree admission. \n  \n7.30pm \nBook launch\n“Jigs to Jacobites” by Dr Orfhlaith Ni Bhriain \n  \n\n\n8pm-\nDon Stiffe & Frank Kilkelly\n“Longing for the day” \n9pm-\nPáraic MacDonnchadha\n“Not before time” \n\nPáraic Mac Donnchadha was a late convert to the banjo\, only taking it up in his second year at College having spent many years learning piano during his childhood. Hugely influenced by the precious opportunity to learn from and play with such massive traditional music luminaries as Paddy Carty and Conor Tully (with whom he recorded on a ‘Bring Down the Lamp’ RTE television programme) among others\, Páraic is regarded as having a particularly rhythmic style and sensitive interpretation of East Galway music\, deriving from this treasured exposure to East Galway musical exemplars. \nThis Summer\, Páraic released his highly-regarded Banjo CD called ‘Not Before Time… 39 Years in the Making’\, that features further acclaimed musicians Graham Guerin\, Claire Egan\, Macdara Ó Faoláin\, Libby McCrohan\, Noel O’Grady\, Colm Murphy and his brother and sister\, Mac Dara Mac Donncha and Sinéad Nic Dhonncha. \n\nAlbums will be on sale on the night.
