A NEW CD OF THE FIDDLE PLAYING OF DANNY MEEHAN
Danny is a native of the Mountcharles area of Donegal who spent more than 50 years in England working (mostly in London) but he always kept in touch with the music scene at home.
The album has a playing time of 2 ½ hours over the 2 discs and comes with a 40 page booklet with photographs and notes on Danny and the tunes.
This album features Danny’s fiddle playing over a wide span of his lifetime, recordings are featured from 1964 to 2011.
The CD is largely Danny playing solo, apart from a few tracks with Aidan O’Donnell playing fiddle in duet with Danny and 1 track with Donal Kelly playing melodeon in duet with Danny. Danny also features talking about the older players from his home area and other topics on a few tracks.
The album is intended to sell at € 20 and will be available from the end of September.
With 73 tracks in total, this is another excellent production from Cairdeas na bhFidiléirí, in their series of CD’s featuring Donegal’s fiddle players. The album can be bought on the night of 26th November at the London Irish Centre, and directly from the Cairdeas na bhFidiléirí website www.donegalfiddlemusic.ie
