  • The legend. 'We just kept climbing up that mountain.' The hardest working woman in folk music. Hearing Mary Bergin and the beginnings of a career in the entertainment business. New York, the drive to succeed and picking up the phone thirty times a day to get a gig. Balls, weddings, county dances, and the circuit. An American in Ireland. Tour(s), interrupted. 'It's a tough old racket.' Keeping going and being present for the opportunity.
    And the tunes!
    The Palm Tree (Billy McComiskey) and a tune from Brendan Mulvihill
    The Cat's Meow
    Cailín na Gruaige Doinne (The Girl with the Brown Hair)
    A reel and
    Hynes's March

  • So much in here: piping as meditation and not setting fire to the old Ganley flute. Starting on the whistle but falling for the pipes despite the danger. The eternal conversation: reeds, drones and regulators. The session spaces of Belfast, open piping closed piping, Tommy Reck and saying 'I Love You' to Liam O'Flynn. Being a girl and running an all female session. A room tuned to G Minor, the Drogheda connection, the five string banjo and 'Lovely Leitrim.' Oh. And Robbie Williams and Graham Norton too. Bish Bash Bosh. What a treat.
    The tunes:
    Two jigs - Mama's Pet and Hinchey's Delight
    Alexander's Hornpipe and The Kildare fancy
    Two McKenna Reels
    The Sailor's Cravate, I'm Waiting For You and Bonny Kate (from the playing of Tommy Reck)
    The Drunken Gauger
    and
    Lovely Leitrim (thanks Mr & Mrs Farrell)
    Every week we are amazed by how much fun we've had - seriously.
    And then the next week we are amazed all over again.
    Rita, thank you.

  • Stories of a life in music, so far. Ancient tunes and new ones, losing a loved one and finding her again through tunes. The Irish connection. Out of The Wind, Into the Sun: depression, loss, and the therapeutic power of psilocybin mushrooms. Recovery into music. All of everything in a single tune. 'Keeping myself in the air as an artist.' Country song-smithing, Darren's unending love of pop, Dom's unending love of neon COLD BEER signs. The road, the weight, a writer not writing. Bruce Springsteen, Cillian Vallely, Jon Bon Jovi and a little bit o' John Denver.
    The tunes:
    Castle Kelly's and Brelydian (Bob Brozeman and Donal O'Connor)
    Two Bird Stone
    The Broken Parts + The Maids of Michelstown
    Sinead Maire’s Jig (Cillian Vallely) and the Sporting Pitchfork
    Lucy Farr's and 'The 99'

  • A chat to mark passing the 100K download mark, with Gerry McKeague of Belfast and Geelong. About what we've learned so far and where we're going. Seriously great fun, and a lovely chance for us to think out loud about what this all means to us. And to say thank to all of you who've travelled with us this far.
    Tunes:
    Darren plays Sandy River Belle and Morphine
    Dominic sings Please Tell My Brother
    and
    Gerry sings Sailing Southwards from Rathlin Island
    During the episode Darren spoke about his good friend Jae Mulder the urban explorer. This is one of the last posts Jae made to Reddit before he moved on. He was always a very careful guy when it came to sharing as he didn't want to get in trouble with the law. Well in the end that didn't really matter so he shared his adventures with us all. RIP Jae man. HOONK HOOOOONK!

    Darren also mentioned a place called 610 Anne Street in Brisbane that the DIY punk and noise scene was based around for a time. Here's a great article that brings some of it to life. https://gladrappa.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/610-ann-street-circa-2005/?fbclid=IwAR0AGbPH6-5DFO6aKj3UYIx-n5WYAoui8YRI5g1o7FtFl_t08N7WpvNcfqU

  • Kilfenora; the nervous you get playing in front of ten people, worse than playing in front of a thousand. Leaving your ego at the door. Being happy with what you're doing, being happy within yourself. First hearing the pipes and the trials of competition. Restless creativity, and finding your way to Riverdance. Managing social media and the inner self. (And a Burmese Mountain Dog called Saoirse).The tunes:The Cat's Meaow (Joanie Madden) and Ward's JigThe Three KilfenorasA Slow Air...Queen of the FairandTwo jigs Tara Howley Music:www.facebook.com/tarahowleymusic/Tara's Instagram is here:www.instagram.com/tarahowleymusic/There's a cool video of Tara and her dad here: Tara Howley Traditional Irish Music and Dancewww.youtube.com/watch?v=bVMrAJN5UzQThanks Tara.

But without the support from at least some of you we couldn’t keep putting out an episode a week. That’s why we’re asking you to become a Patron (Saint) of the podcast. www.patreon.com/blarneypilgrimsSo, for the price of a pint, or a half pint for that matter, you can help keep this show on the road and be safe in the knowledge you have a halo above your head.For your good deed you will secure your place in traditional Irish music podcast heaven. But most importantly, you’ll have helped pay for the other 99% of listeners that don’t or can’t chip in.And that, my friend, is a hell-of-a-nice thing to do.Darren & Domwww.blarneypilgrims.comwww.patreon.com/blarneypilgrimswww.facebook.com/blarneypilgrimspodcastwww.instagram.com/blarneypilgrimspodcastwww.twitter.com/BlarneyPodcast
