Seamus Creagh, the great fiddler who we lost too soon, about a month ago, will be remembered later today in an RTE steamed broadcast called The Rolling Wave.
I’ve loved and learned from his playing – from the day I bought my first of his albums ‘The Dawn’ at a little music shop in Killarney – to the time a couple years ago that I was lucky enough (thanks to Mary Lou Philbin) to play with Seamus in his little session at the Pier Head Pub in Blackrock, just outside of Cork. He was most friendly and gracious to Jim Burke and I, a couple of yanks who were keen to play a little fiddle next to the master.
I believe these shows are archived – will investigate and update this post as appropriate.
