... a long standing project has come to fruition: Bill Ochs' compilation of archive recordings of Micho's playing (and singing) , from a wide variety of sources. The result of years of painstaking research, Bill has at long last (I ws sworn to secrecy for maybe the last decade) produced a two CD set under the title 'Micho Russell : Rarities & Old Favourites 1949-1993 :Tin whistle, Flute and songs from North Clare and Beyond.
I'll be seeing Bill tomorrow and I'll post some more detail once I have taken in my own copy of the CD.
Fantastic that this is coming out. Please pass on congratulations to Bill of completion of the project. I just ordered a copy.

Bill will be on Paula Carroll's programme on Clare FM to talk about the project (see the Clare FM podcast).
Do you perhaps have a link for that?

In the run up to the Russell memorial weekend the Clare People (one of the local papers) is carrying a twelve page spread about MIcho and his music this week (if you can get your hands on that, not sure if they will put it on-line).
If they do put it on-line, please, please post a link!!
Thanks for letting us know. Bill has posted here in the past (if I recall correctly). Maybe he'll drop in and discuss the project...
Best wishes.
