CFP09 Show Notes:
On The Road Again. Recorded this week from right above McCabe’s Irish Pub and Grill in downtown Naples, Florida.
The Borderers - Loch Lommond. This is a great live version of an old standard - with a great up-to-date treatment. The Borderers have sold over 58,000 CD’s and DVD’s through their own Record Label. Listening to this track, you can tell why they are well received.
Doug Sparling - Launcing the Currach/Gort na gCapall. Doug has been composing music since he was eight years old. His music has been used in national ads, corporate presentations and cell phone games. No stranger to Celtic music, Doug’s love of traditional music began nearly 20 years ago after seeing the Scottish band Ossian. He became friends with members of local Irish band, Scartaglen, and was mentored in traditional music by Kirk Lynch, Roger Landes, and Mike Dugger. Later Doug played penny whistle with Dublin-born Irish singer Eddie Delahunt and he also played on two CDs by the Irish rock band The Elders.
I wanted to say a quick hello to my friends at The Angus Sessions. If you want to be a (virtual) part of a pub session, check out this great podcast.
Millish - Hungry Man #1. Here’s a band that I’ve been listening to a lot since receiving their CD. Their playing ability, mixed with a Jazz background, makes for a great sound from this Mississippi-based band.
O h’Anleigh - In The Town Of Strabane. Here’s some Irish-American music that translates well all over the world. Another band with a great mix of instrumental talent, as well as well-balanced vocals. The range also includes fine ballads and driving pub favorites, so you can have a O h’Anleigh tune for every occassion!.
