Concert - Friends of Note
GLÓR – Sunday 26th May, 8.00pm - €20
In the late 1970s Séamus Mac Mathúna, Timire Ceoil with Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, recorded three of County Clare’s most iconic musicians. Peter O’Loughlin, Paddy Canny, and Paddy Murphy were joined by a young teenager from Ennis, Geraldine Cotter, for a series of informal sessions. Now, decades later, these original recordings have been released on CD by the Cois na hAbhna Archive. The ‘Friends of Note’ concert is a celebration of these four masters of the tradition. Joining Geraldine Cotter, the only surviving member of the group, will be the next generation of musicians of O’Loughlin, Canny and Murphy families, together with some of Ireland’s most celebrated musicians.
