Visit Old Time Musicians of Europe

Me and Michael Clakson's new CD is now available from the Claddagh Records website (there are sound sample there, but they sound a bit cyaaat to me).

It has already been received with such glowing accolades as "alright" from BBC Radio Four and Financial Times critic Emer Mayock and "I don't like that photo of you" from my mother. At any rate, it's all another wee slice of life.

I trust you're all well.

Regards,

Harry.

Added a honkyoku, one of the old peices for shakuhachi, to the Myspace player. Its one of the most famous of these pieces and is somewhat of a warm-up peice on the shakuhachi I was told once (by a man who ran away... laughing).

Its a poor recording, because I'm a poor man. After I'd eaten the only remaining bean in the tin as last night's frugal dinner I struck on the idea of using said tin, a quantity of my ear-wax collection and the carcass of an earwig to construct a primitive cylindrical audio recording device.

This I did and, after I had rendered the performance in wax, I fashioned the wax into a small candle. This I burned in the vacinity of the USB port of my gas-powered home computing machine and, amazingly, the gods of air saw fit to transmit my recording to these pages.

Truly I live in wonder (and some terror).

Regards,

Harry.

Added pictures of The Taproom Trio to the Myspace page... please bear in mind that you can't report us on grounds of ugliness!...

We're playing this Friday in Drumkeerin, co. Leitrim as part of the John McKenna fest.

All the Georgie,

This is my blog site, my blog site this is. Here's a springtime haiku:

morning sunlight

                creeping through a sycamore –

                                           Spring snow again
