StreetLife #1 – Show Notes
Louis Stewart – She Moved Through the Fair.
Parts of She Moved Through the Fair were first first collected by Herbert Hughes in Donegal in early 1900s. Herbert Hughes was a composer, music critic and collector and he included She Moved through the fair in Hughes Irish Country songs in 1909. It’s played here by local musician, the late great Louis Stewart from Greenhills.
Cormac Begley – O’Neill’s March
A tenuous link to our local streets here – this was recorded as part of the Other Voices “Courage” series in Kylemore Abbey. Cormac has an album due out soon with Liam O’Connor called Into the Loam. One to listen out for.
John Francis Flynn – Mole in the Ground
From the 2023 album “Look Over the Wall, See the Sky” a collection of trad music related to Dublin and Irish identity. I think I’ll be playing a few off this album over the next few weeks.
