Iarlaith Mac Gabhann: dlr Musician in Residence Update 1

dlr Musician in Residence, Iarlaith Mac Gabhann offers insights into the creative process during his dlr Musician-in-Residence research. "I have been immensely lucky to obtain archival material of both P Flanagan and John Joe Maguire in recent weeks, which was previously unexplored. The Dún Laoghaoire Rathdown ‘Emerging Musician in Residency’ has afforded me the time and privilege to explore the music of two masters whose style of playing is increasingly rare today. Several of their tunes and settings were previously unknown to me and seem to have been lost to Irish tradition. I hope to reintroduce some of this repertoire and draw attention to the important contributions of these humble musicians, among others, in a live performance later this year. This is a recording of my rendition of a reel Henry Glassie recorded from John Joe Maguire at O’Luiny’s, Swanlinbar, Fermanagh, in 1972."
