3 reels from Darach de Brun RIP
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2022 3:53 pm
Posted on Youtube [ audio only ] in memory of Dublin whistle player Darach de Brun, who departed from us 10 years ago this day, 24/06/2022.
Darach was a member of a band called "Drantan" and he recorded these 3 reels of his as a whistle / flute duet with Gerard Byrne. The titles are "The Leprechaun / The Fairy Rath / An Phiseog [ The Superstition ]. There's a distinct jazzy feel to them and to be honest, I don't think they quite measure up to his classics such as "The Maple Leaf" and "The Man Of Aran", but that's just my opinion.
The other 2 members of the band were Liam Davis [ vocals / mandola / bodhran ], and Liam Og Mac Daibheis [ vocals / guitar ]. I'm sure they and Gerard are remembering Darach tonight, as am I. RIP.
