Just finished recording/mixing a new CD of flute duets with fellow belfastard and flute player Michael Clarkson.
Michael is a great musician; unmistakable playing style with lots of energy, lots of life! We had manys the session in Belfast city centre pubs where there might have been a dozen flute players, one Danish fiddler, the Brother Maguire on the drum, an on-the-run South American freedom fighter, an excitable wood carver, a strange German man I never got to know, Sam and Isabel Murray, Breton sympathisers, three unionists, four repubicans, prostitutes, a shinner, a poet, various half-hearted taigs, at least three brands of prod, a part-time RUC reservist, a dog, and a fallen clergyman... plus some undesirable types as well.
I hope we got a bit of all that down on disk.
We had good crack doing it all in Garry O'Briein's studio near Kinvara, Co Clare. Garry laid down some lovely guitar and mandocello accompaniment and my old playing buddy Seamus O'Kane plays his usual blinder on the bodhrán.
It'll be out later on in the year. The title is "The Pleasures of Hope".
All the besht,
Harry B.
