Brian set to return in January

As most of our audience knows by now, Brian has been sidelined with vocal cord surgery for part of December 2008 and January 2009.  All is well, on the mend and Brian is expected to return the week of January 14th (Wednesday) at Fadó, followed by Jack Quinn and the Irish Snug the same week (Thursday and Saturday).  Look for Brian with Brendan and Henry the Fiddler for most of these performances.

Brian thanks you for all of your kind letters and cards!

CD - Now Available!

Our new CD. Dingle Moon, California Stars features Brian, Brendan, Henry the Fiddler, Greg Panos and Richard Gillies with 19 mostly modern Irish compositions in a fresh collection of Irish music.  NEW WEB SITE FEATURE: Preview the entire new CD here in Flash!!

This CD offers some very different song material, with more modern Irish compositions and includes the title cut, "California Stars", lyrics written by Woodie Guthrie and music by the band Wilco, which featured Billy Bragg at the time.

The same stars travel over our world, and this CD shows the influence of American music on Irish composers and musicians, as well as a wonderful cameo appearance by Corks's own Donncha Lynch Band performing traditional Irish instrumental barn dances on fiddle, Irish accordion and spoons, and joining Brian on Christy Moore's salute to the Dingle Peninsula, "St. Brendan's Voyage".
