Flute Players Of Roscommon

Thought this might be of interest to you all:

"The Flute Players of Roscommon CD was recently launched at Feile Frank
McGann in Strokestown, Co Roscommon. This CD consists of new recordings of twelve flute players from Roscommon, recognised widely as a stronghold of flute playing. Some artists involved are internationally recognised, others known widely but previously unrecorded and others emerging professionals.

Participating artists have contributed to this project on the basis that
all future royalties will be used for the education and development of
young musicians. With the support of the Arts Council and Roscommon County Council, all profits for this project will go to the purchase of flutes and the provision of bursaries and master classes for emerging musicians.

The album is produced by John Wynne and the players are; Patsy Hanly,
Catherine McEvoy, Tommy Guihan, John Kelly, John Carlos, Brian Duke, Frank Jordan, Bernard Flaherty, Pat Finn, Patsy McNamara, John P Carty and John Wynne. The CD is available only from www.roscommonarts.com/trad or email
feadogmor@roscommonarts.com"

regards
Maureen

Thanks Maureen for posting this! I didn't know who was going to be on the CD, but I figure you can't go wrong with 12 flute players from Roscommon. I changed my Aer Lingus tickets so I can make the second CD release in Ennis.

No M&M. Bummer.

Joyce, you're getting me a copy, right?

Hi Glauber, yes and I'm also getting you the new Bordier Collies CD with Colm O'Donnell

would a C&F group purchase of these cds make sense? enough interest? any easy ways to do that?

Thanks! Something to look forward to, in my dark, dreary existence!

Border Collies rule!

Everybody probably knows this, but i read that Colm has a sheep farm and breeds Borders.

If there is one thing in life worth having it's a border collie as a pet. I grew up with several.

There's one living in my house, but i don't think she'd be happy to be called a "pet".

hehe, I just bought me one. I wish there was more Frank Jordan on it but beggars can't be choosers.

Hold it!! Did I understand this correctly? Colm O'Donnell has a new CD out?? How do we (ie. non border collie owners) get a copy? ...or is this an exclusive CD - for border collie owners only?

There is a new CD, which should be released in Ennis shortly as part of the festivities there, and Colm is one of the players in it. I assume it's by players of the Sligo/Mayo border. Colm, if i'm not mistaken, has a sheep farm and breeds them doggies, so that's probably where the name came from.

The CD, by the way, is "Border Collies Unleashed"

He was talking about it on Clare FM two days ago. it's not as much his Cd as a CD of young playes I think. What I heard I wouldn't run out to the shop to get it (not that it was bad but the tracks i heard were at best hmm average).

And half of them were hoped for for "Wooden Flute Obsession 3". Well, I'm going to get me a copy anyway, and we''l just see where WFO3 takes us.

I was talking about the Border Collies one. The bits I heard were all banjo and accordeon etc which hadn't a lot of appeal to be honest.
