I will mention all suggestions to Brid when I see her. SteveJ suggested Jackie Daly may be able to take a few to the Catskills. I can't decide for him or Brid but I'll ask them.
I am listening to the CD at the moment (while scrubbing the flags in the kitchen), the striking thing about the Cd is the ease and the lack of pretence. She basically went to the studio a couple of times after work or after dropping the kids off somewhere and played a few tunes that came to mind in connection to people who influenced her while growing up. All without special practice and little planning. It's like sitting down in her kitchen and having her play a few tunes.
I remember one day in her kitchen some six weeks ago when she told her uncle had suggested she play Dunphy's hornpipe for the CD. She didn't know what to play with it so I suggested Scully Casey's hornpipe (which was played at the funeral of a fiddling friend the day before). Brid said she wouldn't be able to think of that one, so I played it for her. The next day she put it down in one go and lovely too.

Mary Lou Philbin and Charlie Clarke (Ossian USA) will be at East Durham from Thursday through Sunday (14-17 July), and if there were some way to get a bunch of CDs to them by then, I'm sure they'd sell them at the festival. I'd buy two myself!Peter Laban wrote:I will mention all suggestions to Brid when I see her. SteveJ suggested Jackie Daly may be able to take a few to the Catskills.

For those at the Willie week : The CD will be launched on sunday afternoon by broadcaster/musician Peter Browne.
Brid will be one of the musicians playing live on Peter Browne's programme on sunday night. Can be heard through the RTE website.
I passed on the comments/request regarding sales, especially getting an extra batch out to OssianUSA for the Catskills, things are getting a bit hectic pre-Willie week though. Website nears completion so you can buy straight off the woman heself.

Would that be The Late Session?
If so, it will be archived and can be heard over the Internet. (You can listen to it live over the Internet, as well.)
Here's the teaser from the RTE Radio 1 website:
