78rpm Disc 161: Seamus Ennis:  Miss Monaghan/The Merry Blacksmith (reels)

We're back after a bit of a holiday with a 78rpm disc from Seamus Ennis. On the heels of Na Píobairí Uilleann's release of Taisce Luachmhar (Valuable Treasure) – The Piping Album, this set of reels is another that was recorded for Bill Stapleton's Irish Recording Company and made their way to the States on this Presto instantaneous disc. The catalog number (1021-B) is consistent with Stapleton's other numbers during that time.

From the David Giovannoni Collection, DG 78 00-185.

Hornpipe & Reel: Hills of Coore/ Willie Clancy's

Claire Egan: Fiddle
Sinéad Egan: Guitar
Jack Talty: Piano

Claire Egan has been in studio on a few occasions in the last few months and recording of her debut album is well underway. Her sister, Sinéad, has been providing some accompaniment on guitar. A recent studio out-take that we shared on social media prompted an immediate and overwhelming response, hinting at what we anticipate will be a very well received CD in 2015.
Claire has been immersed in the great music scene of London listening to the likes of Brendan Mulkere, Brian Rooney, Sean Casey and John Carty. Claire is also a Masters graduate from the prestigious Royal Academy of Music, London and performs extensively with ensembles and groups around the world. Her music speaks for itself; it is creatively exquisite with an effortless touch that produces a style of her own.

Claire Egan: Jenny's Wedding / Fahy's / Last Night's Fun
