Keenan was one of the greats (opens the original)

I want to start this week by acknowledging Siobhán Long, traditional music writer and my counterpart over at the Irish Times, who I understand has retired. Long has for decades written with a voice thatâs carried real weight.  When I first became aware of her work 25 years ago, she was already a seasoned hand, but over the years I've done my best to pay close attention to the artists and topics she wrote about because I admired how she shared her taste and opinions, always giving the music t
Cherish the Ladies to get Gradam award on Sunday (opens the original)

I have bits and bobs this week about Cherish the Ladies, the Irish Tenor Banjo Summit in Baltimore, Solas and the Prodigals. Lots out there touch on, really, as summer starts to come to end and we begin to settle into the Fall! First off, a huge, hearty congratulations to Cherish the Ladies, who will receive the “Grúpa Ceoil / Music Group” award at this year’s upcoming Gradam Ceoil TG4 ceremony.

She attended Coláiste Bri

First off congratulations to everyone who went over to Belfast to compete in the Fleadh Cheoil na hÃireann! Â At the time of writing the Fleadh had not yet officially ended nor had I seen a list of winners, so Iâll wait until next week to give individual congratulations. Â However, Iâve heard nothing but good things from the Fleadh-bound. Â Belfast has proven itself a brilliant host city and it seems a good time was had by all. Â Iâll look forward to hearing more news over the course of t
