What an incredible night in the Cultúrlann last Friday! Thank you to everyone who came out to launch ‘Feochán’, it was so great to play for a full house! Thank you to Odhrán O Casaide, Laoise O’Brien and Siobhán Ní Chonerain for launching the album, and to Lughaidh Mac an Iascaire for acting as M.C. I’m so privileged to have had the chance to work with Tadhg Ó Meachair, Éilis Lavelle, Conal O’Kane, Ciarán Maguire, Laoise O’Brien, Ben Rawlins, Beta Bajgart and Kieran O’Sullivan on this album. Thanks also to special guest Dr. Katerina Garcia for singing a selection of songs, Adrian Hart for sound engineering, and to past and present students David Vesey, Conor Thompson, Grace Minnock, Caitlin Minnock and Siofra Moran for joining me for a couple of sets of tunes! Thank you to Bernard, Pat, Maire, Raymond, Mary, Deirdre and everyone in Comhaltas branches Craobh Chualainn, Cumann Na Piobairí Uilleann, Portmarnock, Phiarais Uí Ghréagáin and Sean Treacy for all of your help in the past weeks in putting the night together.
