Definitely an album worth checking out - wrote on Seán McKeon's barnstorming Salamanca CD here.

Lunny's Genius 'In Time – Dónal Lunny', a new documentary on the influential musician, written and directed by Nuala O'Connor, was recently screened in Galway, Cork and Dublin. Adrian Scahill reviews.

I wrote about In Time, a revealing new film about Dónal Lunny and his music, for the Journal of Music. Not sure if it will be broadcast or made available more widely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0n_...

Thought I would note this new review of Into the Loam. Well worth acquiring (the CD that is), and if it's still available the design of the CD booklet is striking. As is much of the music.

Lost and Reimagined in Donegal Fiddle Music Fiddle player Ciarán Ó Maonaigh has just released his second solo album, 'Lost in the Music/Caillte sa Cheol', featuring Seán Óg Graham on guitar. Adrian Scahill reviews.

Enjoyed listening to the new album by Ciarán Ó Maonaigh and writing about it. Realised also that I'd not been listening to much Donegal music lately and great to recover some of these tunes.

Nice to get back to some new music and get the chance to write about the new album from Conal Ó Gráda.

Taking down Viz? For shame. Here's one of their often great crap jokes. #blueskymoderation

A review of the recent book on the late Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin for The Journal of Music. A huge influence and inspiration at various points during my musical life. A huge book for a huge figure and a challenge to write about!
