I have heard some of this album, it does sound great, some beautiful singers on it….its John’s “ folk opera” and is nearly 2 hours long and a lot of it as gaeilge…really good though….heres a tune from it…filmed on location out da Lough boy

Réamhcheol / Overture from Fíorusice – The Legend of the Lough | John Spillane

 

So if your swanning around Sunday, i might see ya out the Lough ( sorry couldn’t resist)

Quick one, courtesy of Tony Cal a long time ago now….there was a summer show in the opera house and cast went for pints after…one to many for one and there was a fall and a split head…off to the mercy….in he went to get sorted while some of the others waited …a while later an overseas doctor appeared to say we are keeping your friend in hospital…”jays why is he alright doctor” …” we are not sure, will have to run some tests, he keeps saying he is a swan” …that’s right say the friends “ sher we’re all swans doctor!!”

We love our swans in Cork….that probably went over a lot of people’s heads, did i hit my head?

Anyways sin sin…stick to the releases Ray i’d say

 

So the 27th of Sept is what i shall be ordering from the record companies in the next few days….here’s what’s a coming folks

Here is a tune from the record

Going to hand ye over to Shane now as he takes ye down the road as usual and maybe explains “ the swans” better….he may also be a little too young and may have to ask his Dad…,,

Haha, cheers, Ray, nah I’m lost! Will ask my Dad so!

First thing to mention is a cool one day festival that’s happening this coming Saturday in Glounthaune: Upstart Festival
