Kevin, thanks for the news. I'm so glad that Deirdre has joined a band and begun recording again. She's just too good not to be heard.

In the days of yore I would've gone to Philly, but it just ain't gonna happen with a toddler.

Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Show was good.
Flute featured prominently in the sound mix. (C+F's own DANCESWITHTROUT was working the sound board so that was no accident).
Oh my god! Has anyone seen this woman's playing position! It hurt just to look at her. Left handed. Right shoulder stuck out perpendicular to her torso, and up about nose level. Shoulder pushes flute against her lip.
I couldn't do it even just to show you, yet she makes it work for her.
Show was not very well attended, which was a shame. We have an embarassment of riches on the I-trad scene here. It's hard to promote the umpteenth "First Rate Irish Band" that comes through.
Local boy John Whelan jumped up onstage at the end for a few tunes.
I think she has six fingers on her right hand.
They had keyboard accompaniment, It was done well enough, but I personally don't care for it too much.
Tune selection was a little bit unusual, but refreshing. An assortment or jigs and reels, of course, but also some waltzes, bar dances, a couple of songs and even an O'Carolan.

Definitely worth seeing if you can.

Regards,
jb
