Catherine McEvoy - The Blarney Pilgrims Podcast

Irish Flute
1

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting and I hope me sharing this podcast is appropriate.

Last week I got to catch up with Catherine McEvoy and this is the result. It’s a mix of tunes and really great chats on growing up in Birmingham, on the Sligo-Roscommon style, on slowing down Seamus Tansey records, on the Birmingham Ceili Band and Táin Ceili Band, on Peig McGrath, on women in traditional Irish music, on piano accompaniment and on Michael Grinter and Rudall and Rose flutes.

In the episode Catherine plays:

East of Glendart / The Green Fields of Woodford
The Boys Of The Lough / The Devils of Dublin
Grace’s Hornpipe (Original)
The Lad from Mt Kisco / Dominic’s Farewell to Cashel

Catherine finished on a beautiful slow air but I missed the name sorry. If anyone knows the name of this air please let me know and I’ll update the show notes.

You’re more than welcome. We have another two flute episodes. One with Corinn Strating (ep 2) and the other with Beth McCracken (ep 8 ). Both amazing players with very different styles.

I should also note the name of the last tune we missed is actually called Bánchnoic Éireann Ó. The podcast notes have been updated but it’ll take a few days to appear in podcast apps.

I’ve been meaning to give the podcast a listen, so thanks for the reminder!
Also listened to the episode with Tola Custy, which was a blast.
