about

M U S I C – C E O L

“Something you can describe but not explain”, the old Philosopher
(anon.) said many years ago.
“The movement of sound that reaches the soul and nurtures it in virtue”.
Beautifully described by the Greek Philosopher, Plato.

Music, like Poetry, an expressive Art form, should touch the emotion of an aesthetic heart, and it is in this style Diarmuid and Donie treat us to a rendition of indigenous music from West Limerick, enhanced by “The Belles of Liscarroll”, stirring, haunting memories of Patrick Ahern.

“Molann an Saothar an Saotharaí”
Ar agaidh leis an Saothar.

Diarmuid O’Brien (fiddle) & Donal O’Sullivan (flute)
‘Abroad in The Back Kitchen',
Traditional Irish Fiddle and Flute Music from West Limerick
Featuring Clodagh Buckley on Piano and Brian Mooney on Bouzouki

‘Abroad in the Back Kitchen’ from West Limerick musicians, fiddle player Diarmuid O’Brien and flute player Donal O’Sullivan. Donal and Diarmuid’s unique style of music contains the beautiful steady ‘rhythm’ and ‘lift’, associated with the West Limerick style of playing. Donal, described by many as “Master West Limerick flute player”, with his steady style and technical ability places him as one of the finest flute players in Ireland. Diarmuid, once described by musician and teacher Nicky McAuliffe as “An old head on young shoulders, conscious and respectful of the music of West Limerick”, had won all Ireland honours by the age of 15. In 2007 Diarmuid released a CD entitled “Cairde Caridin” which received critical acclaim. Diarmuid & Donal’s album, which is accompanied by North Cork piano player Clodagh Buckley and Brosna bouzouki player Brian Mooney, features many tunes from the West Limerick area and beyond. Included are tunes and compositions from West Limerick musicians of the past, Martin Mulvihill (fiddle), Paddy Taylor (flute), Patrick “Patneen” Ahern (fiddle), Moss Murphy (fiddle), John Joe Harnett (flute), Tom ‘The Yank’ Nolan (flute) & Con O’Connell (fiddle).

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

I love the whole album and it’s so carefully curated! Thank you for adding the origins of the tunes. I absolutely loved the slow air,An Raibh Tu an an gCarraig and now I’m going to have to get the Star an over the Garter! I am glad to be able to listen to music from that era. My Grandaddy was a fiddle player from Donegal and though we spent every summer there I can’t remember what he played. I’m learning to play the fiddle at the age of 60 which is the hardest thing I’ve done in my li carmelg
