CP: Tonight at Paddy Mac's
Cross-posting from ITM forum ...
I'm really excited folks! So apologies if I burble ...
The CD I've been working on with my very good friend Gregorio Bellodi, uilleann piper extraordinaire, is out! And I can't tell you how proud I am of it. It's as trad as we could make it - almost entirely fiddle and pipes, some tracks with whistle and/or flute, and no accompaniment. We've managed to get a huge amount of variety out of just those instruments, and I'm as pleased as punch. I've only had the thing in my hands since Thursday, and sales are going well so far.
If you'd like a copy please PM or email me.

Re: Tonight at Paddy Mac's
Thanks Rory. I think I can honestly say that, between Gregorio and me, we've managed to make the CD that I have been looking to buy for some years now. Very trad, it is.rorybbellows wrote:Good luck with it Ben I hope it does really well

I think you'd like the piping.

- Tell us something.: I like pipes and other things involving music, like music and pipes. Reeds are an enigma. Though I can make violins, I can not make a reed.

Try NPU to see if they will take a few copies for their shop, they could then write a publicity review in "An Píobaire" and Bob's your uncle.

Re: CP: Tonight at Paddy Mac's
My copy got here (Houston, Texas area) earlier this week and it is just a really really nice album of great tunes played well. No pyrotechnics, nothing non-trad, just very MUSICAL. A real pleasure. And I don't even know these guys except for see their names on C&F. Well done!
yer friend and mine,

Excellent! I'm glad it got to you OK John. We tried to make an album that we would want to buy - hence the lack of pyrotechnics!liestman wrote:My copy got here (Houston, Texas area) earlier this week and it is just a really really nice album of great tunes played well.

Thanks very much for the kind words.

Re: CP: Tonight at Paddy Mac's
Oh, and, seriously, if you had met those cows, they really are beautiful beasts. For some reason, they're absolutely huge compared with cows we have here in the UK. Must be the breed. I did try to find out, but between my non-existent Italian and the farmer's non-existent English, we were on to a bit of a loser there.benhall.1 wrote:It's a B/C row moo-lodeon.liestman wrote:Oh and is that a B cow or a C# cow?
