Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill were in Orkney for the folk festival a couple of weeks back. Bruce McGregor caught up with the duo for Radio Scotland's 'Travelling Folk' and it aired this week. The awesome twosome were in relaxed form and there was three or four live songs from their set as well as a spot of Gloaming chat. It's just after the news at the start of the second hour if you would like a listen. Very enjoyable...no playlist yet - always takes Scotty ages.
Here they are with 'Clare Reel'.

Another Bloomsday, in a cosmpolitan mode, - from Finnegans Pub.
"England have need of thee"
(PS Shame about the drummer)
A great location to celebrate Bloomsday

My 'place of clear water'
the first hill in the world
where springs washed into
the shiny grass
and darkened cobbles
in the bed of the lane.
Anahorish, soft gradient
of consonant, vowel meadow,
after-image of lamps
swung through the yards
on winter evenings.
With pails and barrows
those mound-dwellers
go waist-deep in mist
to break the light ice
at wells and dunghills.

2017. This marks the point where we are further from the year I first attended the Glastonbury Festival at age 30 than the distance between that year and the year of the festival's inauguration. We were told in 1993 that the festival had changed so much since 1970 that it was barely recognisable. But there were many original hippies; new age travellers - several ticketed although the rickety fence was breached; and it would be four more years before BBC TV arrived to end its island status. The Velvet Underground played early but it is probably true to say that the first act we saw there was a band named after a traditional folk song. Van's fourteen piece set in very strong heat built to "In the Garden" which merged into "Daring Night". The anthem was from the Waterboys release that year, "Dream Harder". And as each night turned to morning, we found places among the stones.
