Transatlantic Sessions... A few years ago, I perused an ITM (Irish Traditional Music) message board and came across a link to some BBC (public broadcasting) documentary videos entitled "Transatlantic Sessions" They were a series of music and the musicians who play this style of music. Having heard piper Mike McGoldrick before, I knew this link would be a winner! McGoldrick, a very talented musician plays Uilleann (Irish) bagpipes and Irish whistle and wooden flute. There are several series listed on You Tube and Series 5 - Episode 2 is my favorite. I cannot post a link but a search on You Tube will bring up the episode. On the second cut you can see and hear a singer (and banjo player) Sarah Jarosz. This is the best! As my musician friends say... "very tasty." I recommend you search on Sarah Jarosz performing Annabelle Lee. Great song, great singer, great music. Enjoy! |
