On a Thursday night in March, much of Boston’s ITM scene descended upon George’s for a house concert. Cillian Vallely (pipes), Kevin Crawford (flute) and Dónal Clancy (guit) played tunes from their album, Common Ground.
Whistling In The Dark
The things I’m learning about Irish trad.
About
Whistling in the dark: To be confident that something good will happen when it is not at all likely. But also: To play Irish tunes to put my daughter to bed. I'm a thirtysomething schmuck in Boston who bought a tinwhistle a few years ago and discovered a whole musical universe. This blog chronicles my journey learning the art and craft of Irish traditional music. It is about things that I wish I'd read somewhere, but had to discover on my own. This is not a soapbox, but a collection of stuff offered up in the hope that it will be useful. But I also hope to make a few new friends. Thus, interaction is not just welcome, but encouraged. Thanks for stopping by!
