An opera from the turn of the 20th century, written by an Anglo-Irish unionist who makes an Irish republican rebel its hero, incorporating Irish trad motifs, uilleann pipes, and a Disney-esque kitsch portrayal of the Irish! Fascinating #ShamusOBrien

// The Return of the Bothy Band // ow.ly/s0np50R8zcf

TG4 has broadcast a new documentary film on the reformed 1970s group The Bothy Band including interviews and a performance in Dublin. Adrian Scahill reviews.

Review of An Bothy Band on TG4 | Journal of Music disq.us/t/4nsbftm

Excellent piece. Sums it up. Saying that as someone who was in the Complex. Saw them in Glasgow in January and was there for some of the incomparable first go.

I wrote on the new Bothy Band documentary here. It's well worth viewing, and still available on the TG4 player.

A review of my book in the Irish Times today.

Finally got a chance to watch this film about Hughes's pub, and it was great to get to write about it for the Journal of Music. The pub and its sessions are still missed by many musicians.

And here are just a few book recommendations (there are many more informative books!). Also, The Journal of Music is a great resource, with many interesting articles and stories in their archives!

I hope you enjoy some of this music, much of which has been overlooked until now. ❤️☘️

Nice to see 'What Ireland Can Teach the World About Music' front and centre at Hodges Figgis in Dublin.
