òran mór

Last month we had the pleasure of playing at an After Hours Mixer for the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce. Held at our usual haunt of McMenemy’s, it was a fun time and we got the Chamber members tapping their toes with the tunes.

Tom Cocchiaro, Communications Manager for the Chamber, was kind enough to take a couple of shots of òran mór in action and they finally arrived.

Thanks again to the Chamber for having us be part of the fun.

When you can’t travel to Clare directly, it’s good to  know that the trad tunes and songs on Clare FM can be a close second. Beyond the fun of listening live, you can enjoy the archives and their easy MP3 downloads.

Building on last year’s success, òran mór takes the stage just a bit after noon.  Kelley’s Row is the heart of County Dover and the Irish tradition on this special day. We loved the enthusiastic audience last year, and we look forward to another good party.

We’ll be playing a ‘get ready’ party there on Sunday, March 15th  — now there’s a way to get a real running start on the marathon week!

Susan Young, our good friend and super Irish singer and player, will join us at noon on the 17th – so you’ll get an added treat. Expect some very special vocals, and Sue’s melodic and driving drum.

As he’s known to do, Chris got the place going on Saturday night.  This one puts a bit of the raw back into ‘raw energy’ – but it gives you a bit of a feel for the fun the crowd was having.
