Kevin Crawford (left) and Cillian Vallely were in Tucson tonight for a small, intimate house concert; they are both very well known and well respected Irish musicians. Really great tunes. Kevin is famous for his ability to recollect Irish tunes and tune names and all kinds of Irish music esoterica. This is some of the most lovely live acoustic Irish music I’ve heard in Tucson in a while. Great selection of tunes, with many recent compositions played. Fantastic.
I would love to have been there.You can’t beat good Irish music and songs. Are they a band that travells around from State to State.? Did you get to jam with them or do they play the fiddle? Do you also play the accordian…. the
sueeze box is what it is called Home on the Rock….
That was a great little house concert. Both Kevin and Cillian are part of a relatively well-known traditional Irish music group, Lunassa; they travel as a duo, and have recorded a nice little CD together, probably because they really like it, they get to play more unique and esoteric tunes, and they get to share the music in small venues. There was no song, just tunes.
As for my squeezebox, I haven’t been practicing much lately. 🙁
