HUMOURS OF CARRIGAHOLT/THE WINDY CITY/THE COCUS REEL

Bròg to the Future

Thing of the Earth is Réalta's third studio album and features a wide variety of music, from traditional instrumental dance tunes to newly composed songs. They've taken their core sound of wind, strings, reeds and drum and developed it, adding breadth and depth to their music. Guest singer-songwriter Myles McCormack adds a flavour of folk to the mix, making this a truly cross-genre album, and the inclusion of special guest vocalist Cathy Jordan on their first single further demonstrates their empathetic and cohesive approach to collaboration. The result is a beautifully varied, balanced and creative recording.

Hey!
This is something i recorded very quickly using nothing else only my fiddle and a microphone on garageband. There are no effects, just some reverb and EQ on the fiddle. The reel is a donegal tune called Seamus Gibsons (I think) and ive played around with some bluegrass licks and chops. Hope you like it! I recommend using headphones or play it through speakers,
Id be greatful of a share :)

A Mouthful of The Mary Wallopers

Cod Liver Oil & The Orange Juice

In the epic cattle raid of Cooley, An Táin, Queen Medb marched her army of Connaught men across Dundalk Bay at Áth Lethan in pursuit of Donn Cuailgne, the Brown Bull of Cooley. This march was composed as part of a commission by Create Louth.

The reel was composed as part of a suite of music that was commissioned by Na Magha CLG and performed in the Guildhall in Derry in May 2015. We dedicate this tune to Feargal McNicholl and Dave Duggan, both great hurling men and visionaries.

We were initially stuck for a name for this set, however whilst recording it for Fleadh TV, Dónal was reminded of a favourite old catchphrase of the Irish TV host Gay Byrne. So Roisín rolled it!
