In July 2022 I released a duet CD entitled Music from Galway with my sister Breda on fiddle. This was a tune that made it onto the recording.
The title comes from a comment made by musician and singer, Greg Cotter in 2021 when interviewed for my presentation on East Galway music for SSWC. He gave a wonderful, poetic account of visiting Moylan’s in Loughrea in the 1970s. He described one visit where there were so many flute players playing with the great Paddy Carty and Eddie Moloney, that the sound created was like rain hitting off the roof. The description struck a chord. Pun fully intended!
