Inchiquin

[folkcollector]

hello there, I am looking for digital files of a rare folk lp, 'Inchiquin' from the 70s. can you help me?
thank you, Dimi

[Mr.Gumby]

I have the lp and may have digitised it for someone years ago, If this thread is anything to go by I must have done something but I am not sure I still have the files or that I even did more than a few tracks. I will have a look but am not making any promises.

A later iteration of the group, after half of them went to form Stockton's Wing, did the German folkfestival tour,. Barry Moore (before he became Luka Bloom) as the backer with Hill and Linnane. They recorded for the German festival lps.

Noel Hill did a public interview during the Concertina Cruinniú last month about the making of The Irish Concertina, which was having its 35 year anniversary. During it he talked a bit about the Inchquin recording and how his father had to sign the contracts because Noel was 16 or so at the time (he was wearing the school uniform on the cover photo)
The interview was filmed for ITMA and wil go up on their site in due course, if you're into that sort of thing.

thank you! please take your time, could trade something perhaps if you can do it !! best

[Mr.Gumby]

The digital recorder was playing up but I got things running, I hope. Uploading the files now.




Best if you ask the mods to activate your PM privileges so I can send the links once I am done. You may need to make another post before you get activated.

many thanks so far. I did another post, hope it will be ok!

While out driving last Saturday night I was listening to Ceili House on RTE. Kieran Hanrahan was interviewing Maurice Lennon. Maurice said that his father, Ben Lennon, had heard the young group Inchiquin and had really liked their approach and music. Maurice said that Ben arranged for Maurice to meet the band members and to play music with them. This led to a life long friendship between Maurice and Kieran and to the founding of the group Stocktons Wing.

Sometimes musical partnerships can grow organically and sometimes they get a helping hand from a parent.

Just to fill out the group's discography (I had the lp out anyway to check a recording of a tune I learned recently from Padraic Keane and Conor Connolly, thanks Kenny for help identifying it).

This from the 4th German Folkfestival tour :
