Latest news February 5, 2022 We're well into the second month of the year, and one of us has actually played a concert! A real show in front of actual people. Last weekend saw Máire and her sisters Nollaig and Mairéad do a gig at the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith. It's several years since we were there and it all looked very different - principally as it was demolished in 2011 and completely rebuilt. It's a terrific venue and has a great programme of events. Things are starting to pick up a bit as we have three concerts during the next month - the same number we played in the whole of 2021... All Old Bridge Music albums are now available to download in the shop. We've both been doing lots of teaching and Máire has completed the revision of her second harp book as well as uploading lots of sheet music for the harp. My JS-Bach-on-a-flatpicked-guitar CD is now available. You'll find all the details in the shop, and lots of reviews here. Last autumn TG4, the Irish language station, broadcast a terrific programme, Sé Mo Laoch, that featured Máire Ní Chathasaigh and her sister Nollaig. It was great fun to see some fabulous video clips from many years ago and the whole thing was beautifully produced. Anyway, if you're so inclined you can watch it by clicking here. Unless you're reasonably fluent in Irish it's probably a good idea to turn on the subtitles! (Three icons at the bottom right of the screen - the first toggles subtitles on and off.) Stay safe and well and we hope to see you somewhere-or-other... ...and all the very best for 2022... |

![]() |
Almost 40 years after the release of his critically-acclaimed McGlynn's Fancy comes Botera. 10 years in the making, this is a CD that marks a return to Arty's jazz roots from the sixties (although a couple of excellent traditional jigs also sneak in). Siobhan Long gave it a 4-star review in the Irish Times on December 5. Read it here... If you'd like to order a copy please click here. |
